I was a lifetime member back in the early 2000's. I became a member because I loved their magazine and website. I paid the required membership payment and received my pots and pans. Along with my apron, spoon rest, etc. Loved the magazines that I would receive and entered the contests on a monthly basis. I also requested to become a product reviewer. I used to receive very small items that would fit in an envelope to review. They would advertise that you can get big items to test and keep. I never received any of those big items. After some time would go by, I would request for them to send me more products to review, but never received anything else. Things started going downhill. I enjoyed their magazines and website but there was always something missing. For the money I paid for a lifetime member, I expected much more that I was getting. I would like my refund on the $350 that I have paid to become a Lifetime Member.
