The thing that I would be most upset about is how they forced this new "Auto Enthusiast" down your throat. Here's Amos Publishing's philosophy:

1) They could tell you Pontiac Enthusiast was going away months ago, allowing you to decide whether you want to subscribe to the new Auto Enthusiast Magazine, or get a refund on whatever you've already paid for. But that would cost them money....

2) They could have stopped sending renewal notices months ago, but then they wouldn't be able to screw you over when they switch magazines. In other words, they got your money...

3) You paid for a fairly expensive magazine in Pontiac Enthusiast, then they throw this Auto Enthusiast at you, NOW they give you the opportunity to get another magazine, but most of the other magazines are cheaper, and they don't interest you. In other words, they got your money....

Kudos to Amos Publishing, they raked in tons of money and pulled the old switcheroo on you guys. They're laughing all the way to the bank. Classic American business tactic.

By Amos Publishing's estimate, out of every 100 people that just received Auto Enthusiast instead of Pontiac Enthusiast:

50 people will have no idea what Auto Enthusiast is, they'll think it's a new magazine they got for free. After a couple months, they'll realize they didn't receive Pontiac Enthusiast, just shrug their shoulders, and forget about it.

25 people will be angry, but won't follow up with Amos Publishing. They'll be taken.

20 people will choose another magazine, which means Amos Publishing got your money anyway, so they win.

5 people will actually get pissed, and demand a refund.

So...as far as Amos Publishing is concerned, 5 out of 100 will be unhappy. They'll take those odds.

Welcome to the American way of doing business.
