Consumer Reports - Finally

Back in Mother's Day and Consumer Reports I was bitching about Consumer Reports and their website. Well it's been about two weeks and as far as I can tell it's still busted. Although I did discover that it does seem to related to already having an account and trying to renew.

I thought ok I'll just create another account, no big deal. After I'm filling in the data and my credit card info I click subscribe. What happens? They can't process my credit card. There was an error. Double check the number. Yup that's correct. Oh well I give up.

After several emails to CR that went no where, a week later I got one of those "We want you back" emails. If Mama hadn't wanted it I probably would have told them to _ _ _ _ off!

After checking that the link was not spam I clicked on it. Licked split they took my info and had processed the charge. Odd how it just wouldn't work when starting from their site.

Mother's Day & Consumers Reports

So I was thinking of surprising Mama with a subscription to Consumer Reports. Ok so that it's a little bit of a wiener gift but (a) she wanted it (b) it would be a nice little surprise. In the (our) modern two income world you end up buying most things you want anyways. And let's face it I can't out shop Mama

So I head over and there are two adds for subscriptions. A small one on the side and then this big Mother Day's Gift Subscription.




But after trying to login I got this error.



On Friday.
On Saturday.
And finally on Sunday.

I can't find an email on the website. So God only only knows how many people couldn't get through. I mean if it was everyone then somebody in Marketing is going to sh*t on Monday when there were 0 subs over the weekend. Unless they had really, really low expectations.

So here I sit, still unsure if I should keep trying.
