I really like and use advice in the magazine. Constantly asking for donations is annoying, but the one request just received, before my annual renewal is due, in my opinion, was deceptive. Lots of encouragement to send money before your subscription EXPIRES SOON. I trusted Consumer Reports. I tore off the stub to accompany payment, enclosed a check, I thought would renew my subscription, put check and stub in the envelope, sealed and put a stamp on it. I was writing the date paid and check number on the correspondence when I noticed in extremely fine print, that this money was a donation and would not apply to my subscription renewal. I voided the check and shredded the rest. I've subscribed for many year but never had so many pleas for money. I always looked forward to the annual book of car reviews . It is my understanding that it is now only available online. I'm honestly not sure if I will renew, but if I do, you can bet I will read everything including the fine print, then think twice before I write a check and possibly waste money and another postage stamp. BTW: I did send a donation sometime ago. I promised promised a "small" surprise gift as a token of appreciation. Nothing was ever received except requests for more of my money.

Three generations of my family have subscribed to Consumer Reports. It has been 60 years of being a very well informed consumer. We always refer to CR before making any major purchase.
