I received notice from Amazon that my e-magazine is cancelled and it will no longer be available from the publisher. I'm pretty peeved about that! I will no longer have access to any past issues that are not presently downloaded on my Kindle, either. What a crock!  |

NatureLover you got me thinking I haven't received a copy of the magazine lately, I just went and looked and the last one I received was "Winter 2019" which I thought was odd at the time because It used to be a "January -February 2019" type format. Has anyone seen any newer ones lately? Or did Mindy kill the magazine off too. 🙄 *I can't seem to find anything about it online. When I type in "current issue" "latest issue" etc. I just keep getting the same one with Oprah on the cover.

Found that the UK does the magazine- UK version of course. They have the June 2019 out already. And they do monthly 🤨 www.weightwatchersshop.co.uk/cookbooks-guides If the link says cannot be found , just click on cookbooks and magazines in the store. It should show then |

NatureLover, that WW magazine is discontinued isn’t a surprise. But the fact that you lose access to that for which you’ve already paid is a crock. Perhaps because it is a subscription instead of a book purchase. With books you purchase there is a way to select a device and download the file to your computer for archiving; you can then load the books onto the Kindle via a USB connection any time you desire. I have no idea if that is possible for subscription issues, but it is worth looking into if keeping the historical issues is important to you. One more thought—a plug for libraries: many, if not most, libraries belong to electronic services that supply magazines in a format that can be read on various devices including computers. The company RB Digital is a major supplier. If your library has such a service, you usually access it from your library’s web site, log in with your card # and PIN or password, then select issues of magazines to which the library subscribes. I’ve been reading WW magazine that way for years. Free to me. And even if/when the library drops the subscription, the back issues are still available to me from the service because the library already paid for the issues.

Hi! I am usually a "lurker" on these boards because I am all over the place with Weight Watchers, but I just had to say that for the past couple of months I have been receiving Oprah's magazine out of no where!!! I am assuming that is replacing the WW magazine subscription I had??!!! I seriously don't even open it, but throw it right in the recyclable container!!!

OKAY!
I spent 30 minutes searching the Internet to try to find info and was unsuccessful.
Soooooo…I fired up Chat on the WW web site—using Chrome on my Macbook because on Safari the Chat feature doesn’t even show up!
It took the chat agent 30 minutes of going back and forth on consultations before she was able to render the following information:

That's a shame about the magazine. I used to really look forward to my issues. I have to admit I haven't subscribed for a couple years but I always checked it out at the library.

WHAT!?!?! &;$;(/;-$- So they didn't even send out notifications? My subscription doesn't expire until J/F 2021, that is BS. Freaking Mindy strikes again! 😡 Thanks for the digging zazzles! I cannot believe that no where on their website did they explain the were ending the magazine. |

They should offer you a refund but any bets you start getting another magazine. |

Since over the years many of us have gotten “deals” at very cheap rates for long terms through magazine brokers, I’m nut sure that WW magazine itself has a responsibility for refunds. That responsibility may lie with whatever broker sold the subscription. I know that in the past when I tried to cancel a subscription I was told that I had to do so through the broker I purchased from. |

This really blows.  I've been reading WW magazine for years, mostly by subscription. I switched to Kindle just for convenience. I thought the relationship between MM Magazine and Amazon had changed - did not realize the magazine was kaput. Loved the success stories and recipes. I'd like to see Mindy on the sidewalk some day ... |
