I feel oh so vindicated.
Cancelled my 40 + year subscription in September of 2016. Oh, I had at first renewed it in August, but, came to my senses. Why was I going to pay $216.72 for a 3-year subscription, when I no longer cared about the magazine or its content, was continually ticked off at them & had not even read one issue of the 2016 magazines. They were just neatly stacked on the shelf under the coffee table. When I received the renewal bill, I wrote "cancel immediately" across the face of the bill, dated & signed my name, returned it to them. I took all of the saved magazines down to the dumpster. I found a number of things upon which to spend my $216.72.
Naturally, in April 2017, I got a letter from a collection agency (probably SI own collector - they try to intimidate you - did'nt work). I wrote them back, explained I had cancelled back in Sept. 2016, which was well within my right to do so, at any time, of my choosing. And, if they thought I was going to pay for merchandise never received, they were seriously mistaken. I referred them back to Sports Illustrated. Suggested they not contact me again. Have not heard from them since.
Note To Myself: Maybe I should check my Credit Report status, just to see if they have it listed as a debt. It better not be listed. I have no debts.
