CR has run a scam of sorts for years. They send you a solicitation for you to become a subscriber. They offer "Two Free Issues." If you don't like the magazine, write Cancel on the bill and owe nothing, and you keep the 2 free issues. That's all well and good. However, if you DO want the subscription and pay the bill, those free issues are no longer free. They have become the first two issues of your new 12-month subscription. I pointed this out to CR and of course never got a response.
