I got a suspicious mailing or phone call about my subscription.

It is has come to our attention that some subscribers have received renewal notifications by phone and postal mail from agencies that are not authorized to sell or renew subscriptions on behalf of The New Republic.

Below is a list of agencies not authorized to sell or renew subscriptions on behalf of the New Republic. This list is not exhaustive, it includes only known violators: 

  • Customer Access Service
  • Increase Publications
  • Mags4Cheap
  • Magazine Network
  • Magazine Billing Network
  • Magazine Readers Service Center
  • Magazine Solutions (also listed as 'New Magazine Solutions' and 'Your Magazine Solutions')
  • Magazine Subscription Center
  • National Magazine Services
  • PolySpring
  • Publishers Billing Association
  • Publishers Billing Exchange
  • Publishers Billing Center
  • Readers Resource Solution
  • Union Digest
  • US Periodicals

 

We strongly recommend against sharing any financial information with these agencies.  If you ordered your subscription through an agent instead of directly from the New Republic, that agent may have renewal access. If you have questions about approved or approved agencies, please contact our subscriber services department at NUBcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com.

The safest way to renew your subscription is by enrolling in Continuous Service - you will know that your subscription will always renew directly through The New Republic. To enroll in continuous service, call our customer service team at 1-800-827-1289. If you are outside the United States, call (515) 237-3641. Both phone lines are open between the hours of 8am and 11pm (EST) Monday through Friday and 9:30am and 6pm (EST) on Saturdays.

If you receive a renewal notice and are unsure of its authenticity, please call our subscriber services department at the number above or send a scanned copy of the letter to NUBcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com.
