According to Magazine Auto Renewal Settlement, Synapse agrees to pay $4.9 million settlement to resolve a Synapse magazine auto renewal class action lawsuit. Therefore, Californians between May 17, 2012 and Oct. 8, 2018 who were enrolled in an automatic renewal magazine subscription could get compensation.

The lead plaintiffs accused that the Synapse Group’s automatic magazine renewal scheme charged consumers’ credit and debit cards. They said it charged without their knowledge or consent.
