help please

I entered a giveaway from Woman's Day magazine. And then the next page told me "Thank you, you free and risk free subscription of Woman's Day was accepted".

I didn't know that. So what do I have to do? Will they send me free magazines and then bill me later? But I don't want that?

Anybody did that? E.g., can I cancel after getting free magazine? But how? And if I don't cancel, will they bill me? But they don't know my credit card details, they know only my address and phone number.

Please I need your help.

Thank you.

There might have been a box to uncheck if you didn't want the free sub.

Oh, I just checked an example of one of their contests - there's a separate link for entering if you don't want the free subscription

- the one I used as an example is US only, I couldn't find a CDN one - so check back on the entry page you used to see if it is similar

Don't worry - they give these instructions -

If you like what you see, you'll get 11 more issues (12 in all) for just $7.99 — that's 76% less than others pay on the newsstand. If not, return the bill marked "cancel" and keep the first issue with no obligation. You'll still be eligible to win the sweepstakes.

The problem solved!

I just called Woman's Day and asked a customer service representative to delete my account.

Well, first I asked to cancel my account. He told me he would do that a couple of days later. Then I thought, "Wait, why cancel the subscription if not to delete entirely my account?" So I asked to delete my account.

And then I asked if I would receive the magazines with billing. He said that I would but only the first issue, and I would have to ignore the billing info.

Good that I called and spoke directly to a customer service representative.

Thank you very much, Natalka!

Yes, I didn't notice that.

I will be more careful from now on.
