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?
This is a joke, right? $5????

Maybe start a go fund me page
