Great American Readers is a magazine telemarketing service based in Excelsior, MN with call centers and offices in multiple locations. The company was founded in Minnesota in 1976. The service provides subscriptions to a variety of magazines for a set monthly price delivered to your home for a specified period of time. These subscriptions are often offered over the phone via calls from a representative from the Great American Readers sales department and may offer some included gifts such as gift cards or other items included with your subscription. Members can change their chosen magazines and swap the ones they receive for other available titles whenever desired but cancellations are more complicated. Most subscriptions through Great American Readers are only able to be cancelled within the first 14 days after subscription. After the 14 days have passed, subscriptions can be adjusted including lowering the number of payments or reducing the number of magazines received. This is a contract membership with a minimum commitment term, as such, it cannot be cancelled without penalty outside of the service’s cancellation period which is mentioned above. You may choose to continue the subscription after your initial term, or you may choose to end it once the term has passed. Customers can pay off their entire remaining balance in most cases if desired and then not have to make monthly payments any longer while continuing to receive their chosen magazines for the rest of their subscription period. We have gathered some additional information to help you negotiate changes to or cancel your Great American Readers subscriptions.
