I have tried to call them.  Not much luck.  I had just renewed my subscription last month.  My subscription to Hot Rod is due.  I wish they would let me transfer the Street Rodder to Hot Rod but I bet it will never happen.  I do not go for the digital version as the computer is to heavy to carry into the bathroom with me.   :D

I called this morning and they transferred my Street Rodder magazine subscription over to Hot Rod.  I was amazed.

I had both Street Rodder and Car Craft that they dropped.  I went out to the MT site and they need credit card info before you can get your "free" subscription to the streaming service.  Can't win.

Yeah, probably so it will "automatically renew" like Sirus/xm tries to do. I told them to KMA last year.

I put a reminder in my phone's calendar for 2 days before the free six months runs out to cancel it before they start charging me.

I too transferred my SR issue balance to HR. Very accommodating although HR was cheaper initially no extras were offered to balance.
Yes, getting through was a trial.

I have wondered about all the people that are out of work because of the change.  And what about all the advertisers that had prepaid for advertising.  What about Jerry Dixey? There will be lots of hidden impacts.
