No crossword puzzle in issue

I have been getting people for many years. Just got my recent issue delivered and the crossword puzzle has been omitted in this issue.

I hope this is not something new because I might have to reevaluate my subscription.

The crossword puzzle is the first thing I do when I receive it in the mail. I can't believe you have deleted it from the magazine. I am very angry and hope they it will be in the next issue next week. I must have missed the part about it being deleted in this issue.

Unless you didn't bother to announce it. I will go back to last week and look.

Delete the Second look. I also hate the food recipes.

If I wanted recipes I would subscribe to a food magazine. Thank you

I’m sorry to hear that . I had the same problem they took thousands and wouldn’t pick up phone to stop it I lost out terrible .

Guest

I agree with her

Guest

Umm...April 2, 2018 Issues crossword puzzle 19 across clue and main actress answer for more than 5 questions in the puzzle — is not the actress in the picture. How could no one not notice this? {{Redacted}}

Guest

I keep looking thinking it will show up and it doesn’t!!!!

Guest

I agree. I was very disappointed to not have a puzzle in two weeks now.

I am behind in reading by two weeks.

Have to check the last two issues. Been getting People on and off for many years and look forward to finidhing each issue with the puzzle also agree some other sections...recipes and fashion...can go instead.

Agree with you. Do you know of any other magazines that include a crossword puzzle?

Guest

I was not happy about the missing puzzle and hate the recipes and weight articles too!

Guest

I buy mine regularly at the newsstand and never thought to check IF there was a crossword puzzle! WTF People!

Now I will check before I buy and needless to say, NOT buy if there’s no puzzle.

I agree nix the recipes. Who needs a recipe?

Guest

No puzzle????? I’m not renewing.

Guest

I am pissed off like everyone else. Just flipped through magazine and no crossword.

Matters got worse when bad staple made magazine fall apart! This is all the reason I need to cancel my subscription.

Guest

I was upset too.

Guest

I was upset too! Glad to hear it will be back! I was wondering if they were ending it for awhile for fear of backlash over screwing up the last installment and misidentifying Sonequa Martin Green of Walking Dead as a diff actress from Orange is the New Black

Guest

Thanks for bringing the crossword back!!!!

Guest

Where is the crossword puzzle? Very disappointed.

Guest

Why would they omit the puzzler, one of the best parts of the magazine. Very disappointed. I don’t need two or three recipes, omit one of the recipes.

Guest

Wtf.... no puzzle.

I might cancel. Dumb move

Guest

I’m soooooo mad I want the puzzle back!!!!!!

Guest

I am very aggravated that People magazine chose to keep the Spot the difference instead of keeping the crossword puzzle. I hope they realize that they made a huge mistake by doing so.

I will not be renewing my subscription, unless the crossword puzzle makes a comeback! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Guest

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who looks forward to the crossword each week, it's the best thing about the magazine, get rid of that silly spot the difference part and bring back the puzzle. I'm fact just make one magazine just puzzles to make up for this

I subscribed via post card in a People magazine. The next year I received a renewal notice but with a substantial rate increase.

I called and was going to cancel but they offered me a lower rate to stay so I did renew. Thos year, they just took the money out of my account without my knowledge or permission! Called customer service and they just kept telling me I paid for it by check, that I had automatic renewal, etc. I asked for a supervisor and spoke to Mary.

Her story became that I ordered by the Magazine Store. I did not. And that I had automatic renewal which I did not. Because I supposedly paid by check or money order (I did not), I couldn't get a refund for 2 to 3 weeks.

I had already submitted a dispute with my bank so I told Mary I'd let my bank handle it. All they kept saying is the computer says.

They did notice I called last year but still say I ordered on-line through athe Magazine Store!! They did not seem to care that they lost a customer.

User's recommendation: I have none. Just be vigilant of your bank account around subscription renewal time. I live on disability and this would have taken all my living money for the month. Luckily, my rent was paid this month. Actually, what they took out probably would have bounced!

Try reading the whole comment before commenting. I renewed via phone.

Hard to read anything over the phone.

I don't call people names that you don't even know. Classless!

Guest

No you just not ready the terms of service. You agreed to the auto renewal. You are stupid for not reading it.

People Magazine - Not recognizing a true icon

I feel Phil Robertson deserves more of a write up. He was an American icon who loved and feared God.

He confused all of his sins on national TV. He lived off the land and became who he was through the Lord and following his passion. But yet he gets a mediocre write up when he passed but yet all these movie stars who all do nothing but complain and bit&$ get all the fame. Phil Robertson deserves to be recognized for being a true American and made his fame honestly with blood sweat and tears.

He deserves a fairwell recognized by all for his loyalty and love for family and God. Thanks

Where on earth is the phone number to call about a paper subscription and not online

Once I got to a person

, she was helpful. It is extremely difficult to find the right People Magazine to speak to.

Also, in the past I put a hold on for my winter vacation and also said when to begin again.

This didnt happen and now Im told that I have to call to start up again. very annoying
