I just cancelled The Saturday/Sunday Globe 2 weeks ago (I had a 75% off for 16 weeks deal) and the guy on the phone pestered me for 3 rounds to try and keep me.

I started to cancel my Globe subscription (I was on the $1 trial) last year online and when I went to hit submit, it offered me a discount instead. I declined that, and it offered me a bigger discount. Declined that one too, and was offered a year for something stupidly cheap like $10, so I still have a subscription. So I guess their plan worked, but I've now given them $11 for 18 months of access so I'm OK with that.

Lol I canceled a while back and the woman who hit me up on the phone kept low-key implying I was poor. "Are you sure you can't even afford X? Who can't afford $X? What if I bring it down another dollar?"

Yeah, they kept saying stuff like that to me, too. If I wasn’t already convinced, that sure did it.

Hahaha. Is this some new reverse psychology where you make me dislike you as a person?

I'm surprised you were able to actually talk to somebody. When I tried to cancel I waited on hold for 30 minutes before being "disconnected."

Ultimately took me reaching out to my credit card to get things resolved.
