Incredibly hard to stop automatic renewal.^ This should not happen in 2018.No reply from email helpdesk.No reply from Singaporean (regional) contact center (phone gets picked up, but no sound).Cannot Recommend.LPT: If you want to get an Economist "promo" subscribtion, use a fake name and buy a Mastercard Gift Card with cash.Update 28/6/18: Received reply. Renewal cancelled.PS: The Economist is a very good publication, but it needs to get it's act together. I live in a block of units, and (at no fault of the Economist) 1 in 3 issues ends up either soggy/wet or in a neighbour's mailbox - Hence my reason for cancelling.I'll just revert to getting my copies from the news stand like I always did.
