Redbook no longer publishes a print magazine. Hearst discontinued the print edition after the January 2019 issue and continued Redbook as an online-only property.

Customers with an old subscription, unresolved refund, unfamiliar charge or account record can try Redbook’s legacy online customer-service portal. If the subscription was purchased through another magazine seller, rewards program or renewal company, contact that company first.

How to Contact Redbook and Hearst

Legacy Redbook subscription portal: Open Redbook Magazine Customer Service
Redbook website: RedbookMag.com
Redbook newsletter: Sign Up for the Redbook Newsletter
Redbook website contact page: Redbook Contact Information
Hearst privacy notice and requests: Hearst Magazine Privacy Notice
Hearst corporate website: Hearst.com
Corporate headquarters: Hearst Communications, Inc., 300 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019

Hearst corporate telephone: 1-212-649-2000

Redbook does not currently publish a verified general subscription-support telephone number, email address or customer-service schedule on its primary website.

The Hearst corporate telephone number is not the normal first route for an old subscription, refund or billing issue. Identify who accepted the subscription order or processed the payment before escalating to Hearst.

Is Redbook Magazine Still Being Published?

Redbook’s print edition is no longer published. Hearst moved Redbook to an online-only format after the January 2019 issue.

The Redbook website remains available and includes lifestyle, beauty, fashion, home, food, relationship and entertainment content. Readers can also subscribe to a free Redbook email newsletter.

The website’s Subscribe links should not be interpreted as an offer for a new Redbook print subscription.

Choose the Correct Redbook Support Route

Old Redbook print subscription: Try the legacy Redbook customer-service portal.

Charge from Hearst or CDS Global: Review the subscription confirmation and contact the customer-service provider shown on the transaction or renewal notice.
Subscription purchased from another website: Contact the subscription seller that accepted the payment.
Subscription purchased through a fundraiser: Contact the fundraising or fulfillment organization.

Unfamiliar credit-card charge: Identify the exact billing descriptor before contacting the card issuer.
Redbook newsletter: Use the unsubscribe link included near the bottom of a Redbook marketing email.
Website privacy request: Use Hearst’s Privacy Notice and consumer-rights request process.

Website advertising question: Use Redbook’s official media or advertising information rather than the old subscription number.

Information to Gather Before Requesting Help

Prepare:

Subscriber’s full name
Former mailing address
Email address used for the order
Old subscription account number, if available
Date and amount of the disputed payment
Exact credit-card or bank-statement descriptor
Name of the subscription seller
Order confirmation or renewal notice
Cancellation or refund correspondence
The refund, cancellation confirmation or other resolution requested

Do not publish subscription account numbers, mailing addresses, payment information, full billing descriptors or private correspondence in a public review.

Old Redbook Subscription or Refund Problem

Because the print edition ended several years ago, begin by identifying whether the payment was processed by:

Hearst
A magazine fulfillment company
An independent subscription website
A rewards program
A school or charitable fundraiser
A renewal-notice company
Another merchant using Redbook’s name

Then:

Review the original receipt, confirmation or card statement.
Try signing in to the legacy Redbook customer-service portal.
Contact the company that accepted the payment.
Ask whether the account shows an unfulfilled balance or refund.
Request the response in writing.
Save all receipts and correspondence.
Contact the payment provider if a completed transaction remains unauthorized.

Hearst may not be able to refund a payment collected by an unrelated magazine-subscription seller.

Redbook Charges From Third-Party Subscription Sellers

A third-party seller may advertise a Redbook subscription even though Redbook’s print edition has ended.

Before paying any Redbook renewal notice:

Check the date printed on the offer.
Identify the company receiving the payment.
Confirm whether the offer is for print, digital access or another magazine.
Do not assume the notice came directly from Hearst.
Verify the offer through Redbook’s official website.

Contact the seller immediately if it accepted payment for a new print subscription that could not be fulfilled. Request a full written explanation and refund.

How to Stop Redbook Newsletter Emails

Redbook currently offers a free email newsletter.

To unsubscribe:

Open a recent Redbook newsletter.
Scroll to the bottom of the email.
Select the unsubscribe or email-preference link.
Confirm the requested change.
Allow reasonable time for the preference to be processed.

Do not mark an email as a subscription charge merely because it uses a Subscribe button. The current Redbook website uses that wording for its free newsletter.

Redbook Website and Privacy Requests

Digital privacy questions can involve:

Email marketing preferences
Advertising cookies
Targeted advertising choices
Access to personal information
Deletion requests
Correction requests
State consumer-privacy rights

Use Hearst’s current Privacy Notice and consumer request forms. Keep any privacy-request confirmation number private.

A privacy request is different from an old print-subscription cancellation or refund request.

Fake Redbook Renewal and Cancellation Services

Be cautious when a company:

Claims Redbook is still accepting new print subscriptions
Demands an immediate renewal payment
Charges a fee merely to submit a cancellation request
Requests payment by gift card or cryptocurrency
Asks for remote access to a computer or phone
Requests a complete bank-account or payment-card number
Uses an unofficial website that resembles Hearst

Some independent companies charge consumers to cancel subscriptions. Such a company is not necessarily affiliated with Redbook or Hearst.

How to Escalate a Redbook Complaint

Identify the company that accepted the subscription order or payment.
Contact that company using the receipt or statement information.
Try the legacy Redbook customer-service portal when the order appears to have been fulfilled by Hearst.

Request cancellation or refund confirmation in writing.
Save the billing record and all correspondence.
Contact Hearst only when the issue involves a Hearst-managed Redbook account or website.
Contact the card issuer when a completed transaction remains genuinely unauthorized.

The Hearst corporate switchboard cannot guarantee access to an old subscriber record or resolve a payment collected by another company.

A review submitted to CustomerServiceNumbers.com does not cancel a subscription, issue a refund, unsubscribe an email address or contact Hearst.
