We received a letter from National Geographic Society offering a Preferred Customer price of a full years subscription of 12 monthly issues for $12.00.

A check for $12.00 was sent on 3 Feb 2011.

On 22 February 2011, a letter from the National Geographic Society was received with an invoice listing:
 DUES                $15.96
 AMOUNT PAID   $12.00
AMOUNT DUE     $ 3.96

We could just send the money and forget it, as it wouldn't cause any decrease in our standard of living, BUT, I despise any company saying they have an item for sale to me at one price and then try to extort more funds later!

And I thought that the National Geographic Society was an honest company. HA!

The Map costs $3.95 Extra for Shipping

AUTHOR: James - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, September 14, 2011
I received a similar mailing offering National Geographic at $12.00 for a 1 year subscription.  An insert with this offer shows a "Bonus Gift" of a Free World Map with the $12.* order . . . and, at he bottom of the insert, in fine print states
 " *Plus $3.95 shipping and handling".

I do not think this was a Rip Off . . . simply a failure to examine the insert with the offer.
