their reader digest magazine is good, but their way of advertising is horrible, spamming ur mailbox with all this rubbish without the choice to opt out.

U kena scammed, later will say you are top 20, buy their books to have better chance, then top ten, buy some more books, top five, top 3 then....quiet. In the end you already paid more than RM500 to buy their worthless stuff. Oh yes, they send out this type of mail to thousands of people, as long as 10-20% people actually answer and buy their books, enough to cover their expenses.
Imagine if more than 20% actually send them money...ha!ha!

I received a letter from reader's digest too saying that I stand a chance to win rm250k++ bla..bla..bla......and I also have a chance to win a civic car. I was surprise that reader's digest would send me this kind of thing so the first thing that comes into my mind is: SCAM!!! I thought these contests were fake and looked up the official website and found out they are really having these contest. http://www.rdasia.com.my/AboutOfficialSuperContestI decide to join these contest as I see no harm in it although I know the chances of winning is super low. I don't have to pay a single cent.

Reader’s Digest Fails to Award Prize to M’sian Contest Winner JOHOR BARU, 5 JULY, 2011: A technician's hopes of going on a free trip to Europe after winning a Reader's Digest competition were dashed when the magazine failed to award him the prize. Zul Iskandar Kasan, 30, claimed he bought RM7,500 worth of books and CDs from the company as a requirement to enter the competition. “I received a letter from the magazine along with a catalogue asking me to order some of the items to win attractive prizes, including an all-expenses paid trip to Europe.
“I was lured by the attractive prizes and I bought the books and CDs to win them,” he told the Consumer Claims Tribunal here.
Zul Iskandar said he received several letters informing him that he had won a travel package to Europe, more than RM100,000 cash and other prizes.
“When I did not see my name printed in the magazine's winners' list, I tried calling them a few times demanding an explanation,” he said.
Tribunal president Siti Naaishah Hambali ordered Reader's Digest to refund RM6,600 to Zul Iskandar within 14 days of the award being served on Reader's Digest in Kuala Lumpur.
