Yankee Candle Deception- Survey
Purchase date: Jan. 25, 2021: Yankee Candle engages in deceptive practices. They make it seem as if you're going to get something like a gift card for candles if you complete their survey. When you go to complete it, you then realize it is not gift cards you will be getting but the "free" magazines they offer. This time I decided to select some magazines. Afterwards, I find that the "free" magazines are not free and that we are being charged $8 for it. There is no way to know this prior to submitting the survey. This is a big part of their deception. To make it worse, instead of us having the option of purchasing a subscription after the "free" trial is done, they force customers to put their credit card information so that when the time comes (most won't remember 4 different subscriptions), the subscriptions automatically renew. This is NOT how you should encourage customers to do surveys. It is lying, and for us to support your business, we deserve better than that.
