Verified Reviewer | Newcastle Upon Tyne, EnglandTerrible ustromer service
Overall the magazine is ok, but very repetetive for the locations they cover, and they have gone to digital , something I didn't know when I signed up , I really wanted a physical copy to read. The customer service is absolutely non existent.
They say you can ask the staff questions about the articles and get answers about other topics, however they NEVER answer you.
They have facebook pages set up as well for the different locations, but they don't answer comments on those pages either, so trying to get a question answered is pointless. So in my opinion it is for casual reading but you can't really rely on what they write as truth , because they don't really cover the nitty gritty about a p[lace.
- Casual reading

- No replies to questions

Verified ReviewerAwful value, nothing contained within has any positive benefit
Nothing has changed
What's worse they print stories that are untrue (I can personally attest to that since I've been to many of the locations they feature). What's worse, they publish their stories multiple times changing each one just a little bit, but no solid information of any value to a traveler or an expat is ever included.
International Living is really a scam and an awful value even if you got it for $39 (1 year). There is no value or substance in anything they write. What's worse they print stories that are untrue (I can personally attest to that since I've been to many of the locations they feature).
What's worse, they publish their stories multiple times changing each one just a bit, but no solid information of any value to a traveler or an expat is ever included.
I personally am a subscriber with a 1-year subscription for which I doled out $39, all I can say is that I would have gotten more out of gambling that amount away in a casino. Don't bother subscribing to this scam magazine, you'd be throwing your money away.
If I could point out at least one iota of value that was contained in this magazine, I would. Unfortunately, as hard as I tried to find a positive point, alas there was none.
My reason for reviewing International Living is to point out the awful value of this magazine with the hope that some savvy readers might save the cost of a subscription and invest their money in a solid alternative they might actually benefit from.
- Impossible to cancel
- Constant emails
- Pretty much everything contained in the magazine
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Steer clear of buying or subscribing to this valueless magazine
Not A Scam
User's recommendation: Absolutely a Treat for your Day Dreaming Destinations.
Request for subscription cancelation.
Don't shoping meesho
I can't access my purchases
- Customer service
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
It's just a mechanism to get you to buy more....
Do NOT subscribe to International Living Magazine. It's just one great big advertisement for other companies.
They tease you with videos, articles, and email postcards without giving you the needed information.
After reading the article or listening to the video, they don't ever tell you the end of the story; you have to subscribe to some other periodical, service, or workshop/seminar to get the "secret" information. Save your money and your frustration and do not subscribe to this periodical which is no more than an infomercial.
User's recommendation: Do not subscribe
Pass on my experiences about magazine and website
User's recommendation: Have referred it to many of my friends. They are still friends:)
