The November/December 2024 issue is highly disappointing.
Boring!! Not worth the honey.
Theres no welcome page from the Editor and its mostly full of one page tid bits and photos.
Theres one article about a family and a one pager about a celebrity. I felt like I was flicking through a companys advertising brochure!
User's recommendation: Hope for better in January 2025x

Verified ReviewerConf of winking prize
My correspondence was discontinued. I believe I am being scammed. They told me I have won a prize from Good Housekeeping.
Preferred solution: Prize confirmation this is probably a scam

Verified ReviewerNot Happy with Offer that Required a Purchase
I received an email promoting the Good Housekeeping newsletter and it had a topic that I was interested in, so I decided to sign up for the newsletter. A short time later, I got an email/newsletter so I opened it.
What a scam! I created an account and then, when I signed in, the stories were blurred out because now I was required to 'Join', which involved an annual fee. If I wanted to read the Good Housekeeping magazine, I would order a subscription or purchase the magazine at the store! What is the purpose of a newsletter if you can't even open and read it?
I will not even purchase the magazine at the store now because they are obviously so money-hungry that they can't even allow a person to read a newsletter without paying. Goodbye, Bad Housekeeping!
- Great articles

Please stop sending renewal to us . Mother had a stroke it upsets her to keep getting them in the mail. Have sent numerous letters and phone calls. Maybe this will help.
Stop sending renewal information regarding your magazine. It upsets my mother.
She had a stroke. Called many times. Have sent many letters. It's a waste of your money.
She enjoyed your magazine. Does not want it anymore.

Expiration date of subscription!
I had problems with my subscription, and received an email from GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, dated June 2, 2023.
ORDER SUMMARY
Account No: 064284****
Expire Issue: Jan/Feb 2025
This means I have another year of subscription, expiring 2025.
I received an email stating otherwise. Please correct your mistake.
I called customer service, and the lady was talking over me. She finally said to email a copy of the email I had received (from them) showing the expiration date THEY had sent me.
Obviously, she DID NOT believe me! I sent the copy 2 days ago, and have not received any correspondence back.
Thank you.

Verified ReviewerProblems with product that has the good housekeeping seal.
Direct customer service phone numbers don’t work. Product I purchased has lifetime guarantee and Good Housekeeping Seal, and supposed to be backed by Good Housekeeping.
I have sent them 2 letters and photos of damage caused by product. I have had no response from either company.
The water has not been going in the gutters because of the design, and has caused sinkage around my house, my front steps, and my propane tank. I have lived at my house for 37 years and did not have this problem before. Can you help me, I have sent you pictures in the mail of the damage, but have had no response. Please contact me, phone #217-891-****.
Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Sharon Owens

Resolved: Subscription
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Magazine subscription was started And finally delivered to my home
I ordered this subscription two months ago. I have not received a magazine to my house. Can you tell me whats going on?
Los Angeles, California
Only part of the problem was resolved without any letter of notification to me. Recipients contacted me and said they finally received them. I still have not received my subscription.
I ordered a subscription for myself and two free gift subscriptions, gift subscriptions did not get there until I complain, I am still waiting for my subscription six months down the road no comment no subscription no magazine. The gift subscription finally arrived to the recipients in March. They were ordered in December.
