Subscription Woes

Not sure if you've checked out the latest business newspaper Mint, which has hit Mumbai & Delhi. It IS a nice business daily. Quite crisp, lovely layout, nice size and pretty good syndications, most notable being the Wall Street Journal.

They have a kickass subscription deal, Rs. 299 for the entire year. But they have an awful subscription interface. I subscribed a few weeks back. They took my payment, using a credit card gateway, but that’s ze end! No email confirmation, nothing, zit!

Their call centre number dials into the black hole, since no one EVER picks it up. I have emailed to everyone around there but still no one’s replied. I guess I will have to write to their editor if nothing comes of it.

But meanwhile, I subscribe to the print edition, paying 2 bucks a copy, and am quite happy. Wish Mint could make me happier

Excellent blog! I genuinely love how it' s easy on my eyes as well as the info are well written. I am wondering how I may be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trick! Have a nice day!
