Consumer Reports Reviews

I received an email offer from CR offering their magazine subscription for $12 if I replied by Oct 12. I responded first on Oct 10th but on clicking link the actual price shown was $20. I tried it again on Oct 12 at 6.50 p.m. and again price shown was $20. I then emailed CR asking for an explanation. They replied on Oct 15 with: "Please make sure the link hasn't expired, sometimes that's why the price has changed." To which I responded that I had tried on the 10th and also 12th both of which were before the expired link. I have yet to receive a response and obviously never will. Coming from CR it is total hypocrisy.

This site does not allow you to voice a true review and complaint. It is favorable to the companies. Your best to go on Facebook to post true reviews about companies. My review was honest and accurate from my experience. I followed the guidelines and still my post was not accepted.

REVIEW OF CONSUMER SURVEYS; WHAT ARE THEY REALLY?? The consumer reads the guidelines for the survey. The consumer follows the rules, all of the time it takes to get the Guidelines EXACT. THE CONSUMER FOLLOWS, ALL PROTOCOL AND GETS NOTHING??? True or false??? M. **.

Read with dismay the 1 star reviews that seem inaccurate based on my 40+ year subscription and interaction with CR. It's nothing underhanded that if you are subscribed you're auto renewed, READ the terms, it's common practice. I've had no problems ever reaching customer support as I have several times over the years. They've always been responsive to any/all questions. Their terms are clear and all consumers should read and understand them before subscribing. Reviews and articles are unbiased and easy to understand; subscription models are clearly stated.

They got negative items removed from my credit report in weeks that I thought would be on my report for years. They thoroughly review your whole files from top to bottom and leave nothing out. Therefore nothing is overlooked.

I paid Consumer Reports for a membership for online access. I have now been fighting with them for about a year as I can't log in via Windows 10, MacOS, Ubuntu, using Edge, or Chrome, or Firefox on any of my devices. I have submitted Emails to them with screenshots of what I'm getting from their servers and how I've attempted to resolve any issues at my end but they don't care or respond.

In both social media and its magazine, CR says its pricing service offers "up-front price offers." But when you go to the dealership, you learn that CR has put its brand name on a vendor called TrueCar which allows dealers to adjust the price. You get an email that says the 'cost' of the car is a certain amount. You go to the dealership, and they can point out the language "The Member Price is an offer directly to you. It includes the vehicle's MSRP minus incentives and dealer discounts. It excludes dealer fees and accessories, applicable tax, title, licensing, other state and governmental charges and/or fees, and is subject to change based on incentives eligibility. TrueCar does not set vehicle pricing and is not responsible for errors in the pricing information given to you by a certified dealer through a TrueCar-powered platform."

The research that was provided was detailed and exact. I was able to investigate and make an assessment of which company I wanted to investigate and make a decision of insuring my vehicles to pay for the repairs

Consumer Reports is very informative, in so much I also receive their magazine at home. No matter what you're buying they will have their reviews after testing the products. They have no advertising from other companies so there is no influence. Love them.

** How is this fair and non bias reporting? There are plenty of videos showing people “ghost riding” Fords, Chevy, and other vehicles. I don’t see any reviews about that. Besides, how is this helpful? This just makes me wonder what Consumer Reports has against Tesla.
