Don't laugh, please, or at least don't laugh out loud.
In 2004 I signed up for Money Magazine at the special rate of $9.99 for 12 or 13 issues, through an internet ad. One of the catches is that you have to authorize automatic renewals billed to the credit card. Allowed it to renew without paying much attention to the rate until the last renewal notice arrived. The preferred subscriber rate (for me) is now $29.99. I feel soooo special being a preferred subscriber.
Got interested in how much they charged me for the renewals since the initial subscription. Here are the results of my research:
2004 $9.99
2005 14.99
2006 19.99
2007 24.99
2008 29.99
I wonder how high it would go if I let it
While you may agree or disagree, it is probably worth $9.99 and maybe a little more, but not $29.99.
The $9.99 price is still good for new subscriptions, so ...
