Don't buy on their credit plan. My mom has been fighting them for 6 months to take off magazine subscription charges that they automatically charge when you make a purchase. Even if you decline.

Scumbags!

They and some media stores do this. If you use a credit card, and during checkout, the checker will ask you if you want a "free" subscription to a popular magazine. Who wouldn't want a free magazine.

They give your credit card number to the magazine company and you don't even know it. They don't tell you that they are giving your credit card number out.

The checkers act very sheepish when you point out that it is a scam. Read somewhere that the employees don't like the scam, but are forced by management to offer it.
