I paid for a subscription that was to include free gifts that I had ordered for my son. I kept being told that the gift would be delivered week after week and finally was told by National Geographic Customer Service that the gift was no longer available false advertisement and the only wanted to compensate by adding to print subscriptions. I told them forget about it false advertisement. We’ll see if they cancel the subscription when I told them when it is ended, I do not want a renewal. I will find that out when it comes to that time very unhappy with National Geographic subscription.
