Lifetime member.

I have been a lifetime member to the cooking club of America since about 2006. Have not heard from them in many many years.

I recently found some of the magazines and thought I would check back again.

Never received anything that was promised. And had attempted to reach them many times years ago.

Ran across a postcard from this company from 2011. This company took several hundreds of dollars from me and never contacted me after a few years. I was duped by them but I’m happy I stopped

Not heard from them in years

I was a charter member from 2000. I got all of the cookbooks and two pots and pan sets.

I still use the stainless steel set, but only have the small non stick frying pans. They started off so strong, then the upgrades to lifetime and elite memberships and things went down hill. The free items to review turned into coupons for products not offered in the area and told to bad by management.

Then the clincher was reselling the same cookbooks with different covers. The magazine went from monthly to quarterly then nothing.

No contact from them in well over 20 years

I had paid for a lifetime membership to cooking club of America. Ive been a member since about 2006.

They seemed to have dropped off the face of the Earth and never notified their customers. Never received anything that was promised.

Disappointed

Haven't heard from Cooking club of America in probably over 10 years, I had the lifetime membership. And all of a sudden with no warning the magazines stopped showing up. Not right to leave your members not knowing what's up

Loved the magazine. So sad I got ripped off many years ago. Wish a legitimate Co. Would start it up, acknowledge !ifetime memberships and publish it again!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Loved, loved, loved this magazine! The articles were awesome as were the gifts.

I was (am) a lifetime member. I was a youngster when I became a lifetime member, I am in the winter of my season now.

Since it no longer exists, I don't suppose I can recommend them. I would say if they were in business, I would love to have my lifetime membership reinstated.

I can"t exactly pinpoint when I became a lifetime member after 2007 or 08. I received my apron /new product to test/$30.00 bi-monthly/two yrs. in nothing heard from.

I thought it was a great concept to try out new products and give your opinion and return product if not to your liking.

I would give them a zero if I could.

I paid $300 for a lifetime membership in 2011. I received the cookware package after my final payment.

They never sent me products to review and keep. Instead, I received expensive cookbooks every few weeks, that I was expected to buy.. When I called to complain about that and about the trinkets that they were sending, they stopped communicating with me.

So I feel that I have been deceived by a very calculated con game. They sounded so wholesome on paper, but they are really thieves.

I have been a life member since 2002. I have not heard anything from this company in numerous years.

I was getting stuff frequently, but that all stopped no communication at all. The phone number I have on file is disconnected, can't find their website either.
