My account was hit with 2 other extractions of funds with the total coming to $92.00. ANd a fourth charge was about to drop for This Old House magazine.
Each withdrawal had a different 800 number, so I had to call three different times to kill these subscriptions.
I do not recall seeing anything about auto-renewing these subscriptions with no notice.
These subscriptions were the result of "customer rewards" after making a purchase from Buy.com and others, where I was offered magazine subscriptions for $2.00 for 6 months.
Here is what showed up in my account.

01/28/2010 DEBIT PURCHASE -41.00

01/25/2010 DEBIT PURCHASE -32.00
TWX*9512U2*ELEC HOUSE 800-487-3567
When canceling the subscriptions, I was badgered to add more subscriptions before they finally let go and gave a conformation number.
I thought this sort of thing was illegal?
