Customer Reviews Average rating - 3.5
Rating - 1 Date: 2008-07-17 Content: I am sure it's a good magazine, if I would ever receive one. I ordered this is November 2007 and it's now July 2008 and still no magazine. Summary: I have not received any issue
Rating - 4 Date: 2008-06-22 Content: I felt that smart money was a little too dumbed down. I was looking for a personal finance magazine that strongly backed their suggestions with well thought out, detailed, explanations.
I choose Kiplinger's over SmartMoney after reading both for a year. Summary: Wanted something a little more technical
Rating - 2 Date: 2008-05-24 Content: This is a slick and beautifully composed magazine. However, the attractiveness of the composition does not make up for the lack of depth in content. I find the articles full of fluff and miss the mark as compared to alternatives in the personal finance area. I recommend that readers compare other choices before subscribing.Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine Summary: Over Promise, Under Deliver
Rating - 4 Date: 2008-05-09 Content: I subscribed to this magazine based upon multiple sources recommending it. I had been buying it on the newstand so I know it is a useful mag. Amazon, however, it not the place to order magazines. Once you order you cannot cancel the order. Amazon refers you to the publisher (and good luck finding a source for that contact that doesn't require snail mail).
As of middle of May still not magazine in the mail...so now I am not even sure the subscription was processed. If the direct from publisher deal costs a couple of dollars more it is will worth it to avoid the hassle of using Amazon as the middle man. I was shocked because the customer service I normally receive from Amazon is excellent.
Summary: Magazine great, Amazon Not So Much
Rating - 1 Date: 2008-05-03 Content: I've subscribed to Smart Money for the last three years. Just received an "Important SUBSCRIBER Notice" advising me that they were automatically extending my subscription into the future ad nauseum. "No more renewals to send back. No postage to pay. No more paperwork -- we take care of all the deatails for you by remewing your subscription automatically each year unless you tell us to stop."
Needless to say, I've notified them to stop. I wish I had never subscribed. Summary: Ouch!!!
