AI Highlights
  • - Charges reappear after credits; cancel Ranger Rick Book Club in July.
  • - There was a May 7 cancellation for account 217****; a 5/18 bill arrived.

You have started charging us again for a subscription that we did not order. Early this year, we contacted your customer service to protest the charges and they issued credits for the past bills.

Then in February, the charges started coming again of our Amex card. We would like to have the subscription canceled and refund(s) issued. The order is under my wife's name; Suzanne P. Meskell.

We have a letter from you dated May 7,2026 stating that the subscription was cancelled for account #217****, Invoice #1007 dtd 5/6/26. Yet we received a bill again on 5/18/26.

Please insure that the Ranger Rick Book Club order is cancelled, July 2026. Received duplicate books??

Double billing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Sub Ranger Rick Cub for grandson; want RR Jr.
  • - Paid yearly sub a month ago, told it could transfer to RR Jr but billed again and support unclear.

We have subscribed to Ranger Rick Cub for two years for our grandson. Since he is now older, we contacted the magazine to change the subscription to Ranger Rick Jr.

We had paid our yearly subscription a month ago and were told this could be transferred to RR Jr. Today we were told we'd been billed for another year.

When I called RR, it was a call center in India and a person who I had trouble understanding. I'm not sure this has been cleared up.

Preferred solution: Full refund

My Ranger [PERSON_NAME] dinosaur subscription

My grandson told me that the May issue - DINOSAURS Raptors was a repeat issue.

I was told by your lovely assistant that you do not repeat magazines.

I look forward to new upcoming Dinosaur magazines .

User's recommendation: My grandchildren read Ranger Rick cover to cover!

  • - I was charged for a subscription without notification or emails.
  • - They told me I had no subscription, yet charges kept appearing on my bank statement.
Updated by user Mar 23, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. I wanted the subscription cancelled. Just call them they were very helpful.

Original review Mar 08, 2026

I kept getting charged for a subscription and never being told I had one. No communication to let me know.

Never received e-mails or anything. I had tried a magazine for my grandson but was never asked if I wanted to continue just was charged. I tried contacting the company last year but they told me I didnt have a subscription but then on my bank statement was a charge.

Then when I was once again charged I dug deeper. I finally found help.

  • - The representative was great, knowledgeable, and answered my question.

The representative was great. She was knowledgeable, personable, and answered my question.

My only concern truthfully was the use of the word pissed in the customer service email and communication. I thought that I was dealing with a scam and only called when I couldnt get the number for National Wildlife Federation

Cancel subscription; you are charging me $23.52 a month. I thought it was supposed to be $23.52 a year.

Loss:
$117
Pros:
  • Grandson loved getting the magazine
Cons:
  • Not per year
  • You charged per month

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Don’t subscribe, they say they are changing you so much for the year, but charge you that amount each month, and then hang up on you when you call
