OK #NerdHiveMind, has anyone ever figured out how to access / create a #CondeNast account when you signed up for a #Wired digital-only subscription? I can log into the Wired site with the creds I set up initially, but trying to access / change account details pushes you to the CN site

the CN portal doesn’t accept my Wired creds, instead it insists that I must enter the account number printed on the label of the magazine that they ship to me 🤪 & every avenue of contact I’ve tried either bounces or seems to go to /dev/null… 😩

I’ve been trying for months to change my email address associated with the subs, but now I’m just over it & want to cancel before it auto-renews at 5x the intro 1-year price 😕

So this is interesting - by which I mean infuriating. Some company called "Subco" placed a subscription in my father's name to GQ.

My father, who died in 1997.

I called GQ (a Conde Nast company) and they will only suspend the subscription - they say I have to cancel it through the company that ordered it. So I can see this becoming a real black hole, where I'm on the hook for anything this third party has signed up for.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Anne Hathaway walked off a Vanity Fair photo shoot today in support of the Condé Nast Union walkout. The actress was in hair and makeup when a SAG-AFTRA staffer notified a member of her team about the 24-hour stoppage, which is in protest against what the NewsGuild of New York described as “unlawful handling of layoff negotiations and bad-faith bargaining.” Here's more from Variety.
