(update below)I discovered that the company kept my credit card on file, so I wrote as asked them to delete it. The response I get did not address my question; it only told me how to cancel a future renewal. Avoid this company unless you want to lose control of your cards.(update, in reply to the company's response to the above)Thank you for your prompt reply. I subsequently received email indicating that you retain my card on file -- but it's encrypted, so you can't use it to charge me for renewal. This is nonsense. My yearly subscription was paid, so you have no reason to keep my card on file, encrypted or not. I ask you again to delete all record of my credit card.FYI, here is my original email:"You have my credit card number on file. Please delete this immediately, as I do NOT EVER leave my credit details after I've paid. Thank you!"Here is your response:"Please be advised that this subscription to New Scientist is paid by continuous credit card authority. The subscription will renew automatically unless we receive a cancellation request and then no further payments will be taken."You have yet to address my security issue, so still not acceptable.
