#64/2016 Before the invasion of the British press that upped the ante for celebrity news and Star magazine went glossy, mainstream and you didn't have to wear a bag over your head to buy it, People Weekly was it. People was the only game in town plus it gave you pieces on normal folks who overcame tragedy/inspired you/made you feel somewhat saintly for buying the magazine. People being weekly seemed fresh and current many years ago but in this 24/7 news cycle, almost everything on its pages has been seen and reported on long before it hits the stands. (And in its attempt not to play in the dirt with other magazines, it's become the fawning mouthpiece for every PR flack in NY and LA.) Yawn. For way juicier, more current and free celebrity news go to dailymail.co.uk or agcwebpages.com for inside and well-vetted celebrity scoop. PS Janet Jackson, that won't be her baby but it will be family, that's all I'm sayin' lol. read more

I wanted to renew my subscription for People magazines which will expire 11/23/2026. I got an automated number 800 541 9000 and it wanted to charge me a lot more than what I paid in 2024. I have been a customer for over 25years . I paid $50 on 11/22/2024 to renew until 11/23/26. The number on my magazine is 2348793924. I like to speak to a live agent. What would be the number? read more

I have always liked People Magazine. I do receive the magazine via USPS, as well as on line. I especially like to read comments and often like to comment as well. However, for approximately the past 4 months the comments section has not been working. I have emailed People Customer Service at least 5-6 times for help and have received one response, asking for screenshots, which I have provided. The last 3-4 emails have gone unanswered. Very disappointed in their customer service. I actually received a renewal notice recently but given recent events I am not planning to renew read more

thieves!!! they charged my account for a subscription and when I callled them they couldn't even find me in their system....... because I've never ever subscribed to them!!!!! I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor as to why I was being randomly charged if I wasn't in their system and the guy I spoke to put me on hold for 20+ minutes "to put me through to someone else" until I finally hung up on them. Long story short I never got an answer as to why I was charged $25 when I wasn't even in their system and I had to cancel my debit card and get a new one and in the mean time per my bank I had to wait until the $25 charge wasn't pending anymore so that I could dispute it.... Beware of these SCAMMERS!!!!!!! read more

Used to be a good mag but content has changed so much that it is no longer enjoyable. Filled with silly puff pieces of "celebrities".

Great magazine to get your "stars" fix. You won't find outstanding journalism here, but it is great entertainment. A million years ago, I had a subscription, but that's way too much People for me. However, it is still the first magazine I pick up if I'm waiting in a doctor's office, hospital, etc. Definitely makes the time go by faster. I will occasionally pick one up if I'm taking a flight for some mind-numbing entertainment. Shrug. It is what it is. read more

No more People.com or People magazine for me. Since when did a celebrity/pop culture magazine transform into crime reports with horrific graphic details or headline with random stories about people who are dying of brain cancer as in today 1/30? These types of stories are not the type that has driven me to People for decades. They have strayed from their original purpose and it speaks volume about their need to shock and sensationalize. So disappointing and out of their lane. read more

Customer service is the absolute WORST! E-mail them - No response Telephone them - completely incompetent. They make it so difficult to do even the simplest things. read more

Use to love the day each week my People Magazine would arrive, not any longer. They too have fallen on the sword of being biased and deliver unbalanced news/articles. NEVER will order again or share as gifts. Shame on them! read more

My Shape subscription was automatically moved to People magazine after the last issue Dec 2021. I wasn't asked about transferring my subscription. I've called Jan. 7, 2022, Feb. 14, 2022, Apr. 13, 2022 & May 19, 2022, to date, to stop the subscription and obtain a refund. I have been told the first 3 times it has been cancelled and a refund issued yet the magazine keeps being delivered. Today's call was a 10 min wait while they blasted music so loud I had to put my phone 3 feet away from me and it was still rating 90 decibels. Then they hung up on me before I could even talk to anyone. What do you have to do to cancel this stupid magazine? read more

This is the 3rd week I haven't received my subscription. This is after a 2 week non-delivery a month ago. I cannot get into my account or contact them on line. My subscription is paid up till July, 2019. BOOO!!! read more

From the printed pages to the website, this magazine has turned to absolute trash. It used to be interesting and trustworthy. Now it's just another Us, OK, and In Touch: all garbage. I now subscribe to Vanity Fair, a very high-quality read. It's much more trustworthy and informative, and the illustrations and photography make it enjoyable to look at. read more

I read PEOPLE because it is non political. However I have never seen any article about the First Lady when you have had articles/pictures of previous First Ladies from both parties. She would be a beautiful addition. Mary Collins Ossining, NY read more

Be careful if you buy this magazine using airpoints - I did and then found out they had re-signed me for another 12 months automatically WITHOUT MY PERMISSION to a bonus option to pay with money instead of airpoints. A bill was sent to me for $48 - overdue! I called and sorted it out so I didn't have to pay the $48 or have my credit rating affected. Nasty way to try to get money out of readers buying with airpoints option. I won't go near them again. read more

I have had a subscription to people magazine for more than 15 years. For the last six months I've been getting my people magazine and pages keep falling out of the center. I thought maybe it was from taking out the advertisements that were in there but no, when I stop doing that they still fell out. When I called to make a complaint, they were willing to send me back ones for the damaged ones but I'm afraid those would fall out too. Something needs to be done. read more

Oh yeah. Thank god I've got connections that enable me to read People every week for free because the subscription is ridiculously expensive. But man, this is the perfect lunch break companion. Celebrity gossip, true crime (gory details included) and the occasional tear-jerking or uplifting human interest story. The perfect mag for a career rubbernecker like me. I wish they had fewer 'baby fever" stories and I could care less about eligible bachelors (as if some People reading fishwife is going to snag George Clooney). And the celebrity fashion critiques used to be a lot more biting. But other than that, carry on! read more

It's been few months that I've been getting people magazines at mailbox which I didn't subscribed at all!!! I called them 4 times already for canceling but yesterday I got a magazine again! WHAT IT'S MEANS??? PLEASE STOP sending me the magazines, you are continued sending the magazines without my permission!!!! read more

I used to enjoy People, but this last month I felt the article about the Trump family was very disappointing. I don't think People even considered their conservative readership, and how much we appreciate what the whole Trump family is doing for this country! I will shy away from People (and likely cancel my subscription), until I see more BALANCE in their articles. read more

Looking through the December 7 issue I see there are several celebrity holiday gift suggestions. I was always a fan of Natalie Portman until I saw that one of her suggestions is for her children's book and one is for her husband's dance class. Sounds pretty biased and self promoting to me. I'm out on Natalie and on People Magazine for supporting it. read more

Nothing but garbage, an lack of actual writing facts. You really need better writers...That write TRUTH, not fake news...

Sent me an email stating that they have renewed my subscription. I never authorized or requested a renewal. I suspect it was a "fishing expedition" to get me to subscribe, but all it guarantees is that we will never subscribe. Maybe I am getting cranky in my old age, but this strikes me as being unethical. read more

This magazine subscription center overcharged me in October 2019. Charged me for 2 subscriptions and I have still been waiting to get a refund. I've called and talked to 3 different people who have said this would be taken care of and nothing happens. Customer service STINKS! read more

I was very disappointed that in Oct. 24 and Oct 31 issues there are articles against Donald Trump! I've always enjoyed People Magazine. I've never seen an article on Hillary Clinton hiding an illness or being given responsible for the four men in Benghazi being killed. Very very disappointed in what use to be my favorite magazine. read more

I did not subscribe to nor do I even like this magazine, but I have started receiving copies weekly. The same thing happened to my daughter. Apparently the readership is so low, this is done to retain advertisers. (To skew numbers so it looks like they have more readers than they do) It is impossible to cancel this, as discussed by others here, either online or otherwise. Now I've received a children's magazine distributed by People which I also do not want. How can I get these things stopped? I hope they don't plan to charge me for these. read more

I just love People magazine! I know it's silly and trivial. The regular news is too depressing, George W is on his way to ruining the world. So I'd rather read about Tom Cruise and his latest Scientology antics. It's a nice mental release. The only thing better is Star magazine which you don't have to actually read...you can just look at the pictures. What a great mental release! I know a lot of you agree with me, don't be afraid to admit it! read more

So. F*ing. Annoying. It's been 3 months that I've been getting people magazines at mailbox which I didn't subscribed at all. I called them twice already and canceled 2 months ago and I keep getting the magazines. I DO NOT WANT THOSE MAGAZINES! I DO NOT WANT TO THROW THEM IN THE GARBAGE I SIMPLY DONT WANT THESE MAGAZINES IN MY MAILBOX!!! It's not my fucking house first of all. And I get them on my name at this persons house. ANNOYING!! And the girls that take my call always says "oh you canceled already there's nothing I can do" but it's been two fucking months! read more

I have been a people subscriber since 2000, last year I accidently let my account lapse 5 days instead of paying on Jan 29th I didn't pay till Feb. 6th. So my first subscription was on March 15th. Fast forward to this year I assumed my due date of pay was beginning of March since it was mid march when I got my subscription. I spoke with a "manager" from people he would extend 4 months on to my subscription (if I paid now) but I wouldn't receive my first issue until April 29th. Really People?? you just lost a long and valued customer and I will scream my dissatisfaction from the roof tops shame on you!! read more

People Magazine is one of my guilty pleasures, I've been a subscriber for years!! I appreciate this magazine as a way to keep up with current pop culture icons without actually having to go through most of the torture of enduring the music, TV Shows, and/or films and that serve as a stage for their cheesy artistry. It's especially fun to read about embarrassing falls from grace of long-forgotten (or contemporary!) media icons. read more

This pathetic piece of crap of a magazine REFUSES to refund my money after I cancelled my subscription from their so-called automatic renewal which I did NOT sign up for or agree to. I have contacted their customer service MULTIPLE times, received e-mails telling me that my refund will be processed soon and MONTHS later I still haven't received my refund. And nowhere on their website(s) do they list an address. Reputable businesses are not afraid of listing a street address. Thanks to Yelp, I found the street address. read more

Until recently I loved reading people magazine but now as soon as I get it out of my mailbox I have to put it in my trash outside because of the fragrance add inside. I get bad migraine headaches from man made fragrance chemicals. read more

After being a customer for several years, our subscription was inexplicably cancelled. We were never notified or given the significant refund for the remaining subscription that we were owed. I have called multiple times now and get nowhere. I am promised a refund and 3 months later I have yet to receive it. No one can explain to me who cancelled in the first place or why and only am promised over and over by a rep who barely speaks English that I will receive a refund. Obviously there is an issue here and possibly a scam but the bottom line is that People Magazine does NOTHING. My advise is don't subscribe and instead read US, we've had no issues with them! read more

I've been sick lately and all that I have been able to read is People Magazine. Thank you People magazine, for continuing to deliver celebrity fluff in a format suitable for those with a short attention span. read more

People Magazine is a ripoff. I have been a subscriber for several years. The last time my renewal came up on 1/22/18, I decided to renew early to get 8 free issues, which I did on 6/4/17. If you add 8 extra free issues to my renewal which normally would have expired on 1/23/19, the new ending issue date would be 3/25/19. People Magazine sent me an email confirming this new end date and I also have their receipt for this great early renewal offer showing the ending date to be 3/25/19. I have even sent them copies of their emails/billing with this date and told them: These are your records, not mine. Regardless, they reneged on that date saying that they can pretty much do whatever they feel like doing and it is in the "verbiage" somewhere that they are federally and state compliant in doing whatever they feel like. They changed my last issue date to 2/18/19 and I have written to their customer service rep, Princess N., and she has responded several times, but now People doesn't bother to respond anymore. I will give them 1 star as Princess N. did respond until I wanted real answers. All I want is that they admit that they changed my ending date issue from 3/25/19 to 2/18/19 and then I will know what I am dealing with--a bunch of crooks. Thanks for listening.

I love People Magazine. I'm just disappointed that my last two issues do not have the crossword puzzles. Be sides the articles, this is a big reason I get People. Please put it back read more

Please bring back the crossword puzzle, it's the main reason why I renewed my subscription.

Be careful when renewing your salon subscription!! They don't list a price, automatically charge your card that they keep on file and tell you how much after you submit, even when you don't fill out your cards expiration date. Then when you go to live chat to correct the problem they make you empty promises that the charge will not go through. Then your card is illegally billed and they try to offer a partial refund. The whole thing feels like a scam. If I continue to have trouble you won't find this magazine in my salon any longer and I'll be sure to tell my customers exactly why!! read more

Even though I have always liked people magazine, I must say that I find naming your choice of "World's Most Beautiful Woman" (or man for that matter) ridiculous. There's a big world out there with ALOT of beautiful people. Why must they always be celebrities? Come on People Magazine... look beyond Hollywood to find that person! read more

The worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. I have been a subscriber for over 30 years. All of a sudden I can't get the digital edition so I called customer service. They tell me that I am only subscribed to the print edition. I pay 143.90 a year. She tells me that in order to get the digital edition with the print edition it's $131 a year, after getting annoyed and having to ask her again and again. She found it very hard to answer my simple questions. So in my estimate I should have been getting the digital edition all along. How do they figure these costs? Not only that, my subscription is good through the middle of November but she said I would have to pay for a year now 2 months before my subscription expires. The rep had to put me on the phone with some "higher-up" who in my estimation was just as bad as the first one. They don't answer your questions; they beat around the bush to try to get more money out of you. So I canceled. I can live without the magazine when I receive such awful customer service. They say the conversations are taped for quality assurance. It's obvious that they aren't or they would not keep people like this employed. read more
