Digital membership didnt work; no service Signed up for a paid digital membership: content was good, when I could read it. Every article I tried reading would hit me a paywall popup telling me to subscribe, despite the fact I am was subcribed, logged in, and paying. Sometimes they would go away after waiting a while, sometimes the payway would not go away. Customer service sucks. They don't even respond. Never responded to multiple emails requesting they cancle my membership and stop charging me.. Tired of having my mailbox filled up with stuff I cant read, I clicked unsubscribe. Nat geo site responds 'it may take 10 days' for the system to stop spamming me. 10 days? Hell even junk mail marketing from boner pill salemen will stop immediately when you hit that unsubscribe button.. Nat geo/disney, you suck

Subscription to spam National Geographic used to be a very respected journal. Now, they teamed up with Lindblad Expeditions. Once you subscribe to National Geographic, they sell your address to Lindblad Expeditions without asking for your permission, and you start getting catalogues of offensively expensive travel offers, tens of thousands of dollars per trip, from Lindblad Expeditions, and it is impossible to stop. Cancelled National Geographic because of Lindblad Expeditions spam. Called National Geographic for help to stop the spam. Looks like the spammers may be their partners. The frequency of spam got less but did not stop. Please, save your sanity and DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!!!

I have a Gmail on my phone confirming… I have a Gmail on my phone confirming one yr online and print service, but get blocked when try use it. Am told I never had it. Just read it 2 days ago, got code from nat geo to access it, was prevented from entering code, which then expired. I have Gmail proof I have subscription n get daily notifications from Nat Geo, who is now owned by Disney, not google, so y is google preventing me from my nat geo acct, forgive me, but what business is it of URS?

They'll harass you forever Be careful about getting a NG membership and magazine. They will harass you forever. I tried to cancel my father's membership when his Alzheimers progressed to a point where he could no longer read. Every other subscription promptly cancelled and refunded. Not NG, I had to let the whole subscription run out. And meanwhile they sent demand after demand for renewal. I politely asked at least a dozen times over 4 years for them to leave us alone. Now my Dad is DEAD and they are still sending renewal notices. They are heartless monsters.

Low quality popscience with no integrity I used to love Nat Geo's magazines and read stacks of old issues almost cover to cover back when I assumed that the content was genuine and scientific. The illusion first shattered when I discovered the "Dog Whisperer" TV show that masqueraded abuse as dog training, and saw that Nat Geo just ignored all the damning critique from highly educated actual behaviour specialists, who implored them to stop the show because it is 1. unscientific, and 2. likely to harm many pet dogs as viewers try to emulate Millan's methods from the popular show. Nat Geo continued the show year after year because the show is popular, and because science, ethics and integrity apparently does not matter... all the sciency gloss is just pretend
