Canceling The Economist was the worst experience of any periodical, by far. You were right not to continue.

Recently canceled and (from transcript) it took 18+ minutes chatting with an online rep. They made sure I knew all the various benefits (newsletters, podcasts, etc), offered me multiple price discounts, and insisted that I try a slimmed down experience ("Espresso") for a month before truly canceling. I'll never consider re-subscribing.

Completely agree - I love the Economist as a magazine, but will never be a subscriber again after how much time it took to cancel.
