Sports Illustrated - Best Buy
Charged $24.95 Magazine Renewal After No Free Issues Arrived

In January I signed up for 8 free issues of Sports Illustrated from Best Buy with my purchase.
SI and Best Buy state that you can cancel your account anytime within those 8 issues and you will NOT be charged.

Well after 2 months passed and I did not get any of my free issues, or anything at all from SI I went to the online customer service site which was given to me at the time of sign up.

When I entered my information into the system, I got a message stating that my account was no longer valid, and no longer existed. So I figure that since I never received 1 free issue, and was not in their system that I was okay.

Well today I noticed when checking my monthly credit card statement that on 4/6, I was charged the $24.95 renewal fee from Sports Illustrated.

This is quite a scam, something needs to be done. I did not get 1 free issue when I was supposed to get 8, and everytime I tried to make sure my account was cancelled and would not renew automatically, they said my account did not exist.
Not Fair!
