AAII - Another shake down. Do I fight?
Years ago American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) sent me an offer for a "lifetime" membership which include one print magazine a month for the rest of my life should I select the $500 option. Typically $20/year, I did the math and elected the one time payment. I enjoy the print version, but the information is always posted online, but that is not the point.
Now, in 2023 I receive notice that I will have to pay a minimum of $2/year for the first year should I elect to continue to receive my monthly printed AAII magazines.
I accepted the fact that the cost of print and mailing has gone up (not my problem or fault) and went to pay the $2 yearly fee.
Now in small print is the following language is this:
The $2 annual contribution amount will increase to $5. All other price points will renew at their respective rates. You will always be notified in advance of any charge, and you can cancel at anytime.
I wrote a nasty response which I cannot print here as I am no lady when someone takes advantage of me, slipped the note in the postage paid envelope and put it in the mail.
What do you think?
