Wonderful programs but recording means they end prematurely. What is wrong does nobody ever check? Pull your finger out. Poorly done

Subscribed as a gift for 12 months through a third party in July 2021. Now in October and the recipient still hasn't received an issue, third party says the order is 'with the publisher'. Please avoid

UK. I bought NG Kids UK annual subscription auto-renew for my grandson a couple of years ago. He's lost interest & I'm now trying to cancel. After emails & phone calls I seem to be getting nowhere. The latest info (by email & phone) was to call 0333 5777272. This gives a message 'The number you have dialled is not in service' !!! Not very useful! Hopefully my credit card company will accept my cancellation. I wouldn't do business with Nat Geo again. Very easy to subscribe, but VERY difficult to unsubscribe. I'm currently waiting for an email reply to my email having been told that 'Our turn around time is normally 5 working days'. Is the problem because I'm in the UK or is it just as bad in the USA?

A short while ago, I dug out a box of NG magazines that my late father had from the 1980-90s and began reading through them, finding the quality of writing, articles and pictures quite amazing. Skip forward to three months ago and the idea sprung on me to subscribe to NG - with such a menial price of £25 (much cheaper than expected) that i jumped at the chance. Thus far I’ve received two magazines and have only had a chance to flick through them as I’m still catching up through 30 year old magazines. From the little I read in one magazine regarding the Solar System, I’d say the decision to subscribe has been sound, and it certainly seems worth the rolling sub. It is unfortunate reading some people having had bad experiences here on TrustPilot but I for one can say without a shadow of a doubt that it’s worth the money, not to mention the fact that it also includes digital access to past magazines which is a huge bonus (and perhaps a reason why I’ll not be seen for months on end as I peruse old articles with my pipe in hand).

NG holds environmental articles up as ransom to force people to sign up for their website to sell their personal data.

The Nat Geo mag was once a venerated chronicle of people and places—no more. It has digressed into a pop culture social rag with issues found on every media site. Its become “Mother Jones” with an Atlas. Too bad! It desperately needs another editorial team in order to restore it former glory.

I have been receiving spam emails from National Geographic for years. National Geographic does not verify email addresses. Anyone can sign up with email addresses that do not belong to them. Once they have your email, they send you 3 emails a day. Their unsubscribe function does not work, the spam simply continues. You can contact NG to have your email removed manually but as soon as someone else plugs in your email the flood of spam resumes.

Showing 9/11 on the anniversary of this tragedy with advertising on every 5-10 minutes. Thank you for trying to make Bank on this at your prime time! Just disgusting and amoral!!!
