"Complaint"
No free product giveaways or magazines. Maybe a scam after paying over $350 back in 2001? Have a life membership card.

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!
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.
- Quality items and magazine
- Did not last long
Preferred solution: The magazine

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.

Became lifetime member and haven't from them since. Must be a scam. The few magazines I received I enjoyed.

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.
- Are adept at sounding believable then they disappear
Preferred solution: Full refund

I purchased a lifetime membership to the "Cooking Club of America" in 12/2001.
I joined and haven't received anything to review in 23 years, as part of the agreement. A scam?
If someone wants to work with me for a court case, I am in there. Thanks, Karen King
User's recommendation: Don't purchase.
Scam!!!
I was paying for a membership every year in the beginning and received items to review as well. I eventually paid for the lifetime membership and they applied my past yearly payments towards that so I dont remember exactly what I paid for the lifetime membership.
I still have the trivet (the spoon rest just recently bit the dust on the ceramic tile floor) and a bowl that I got to review that I still use almost daily. But then they just disappeared, no more magazines, products, or correspondents. And reading all these reviews Im not the only person going through this. It sucks!
Ive been meaning to try to follow up sooner but its been a traumatic past few years. I lost my mom, two other sets of parents of very close friends who were like second parents, my best friend after knee surgery my cousin committed suicide, we were hit by the Moore tornado and had to rebuild, been diagnosed with a blood cancer, a very painful condition called CRPS and diabetesjust too much going on so a magazine was at the bottom of the to do list.
I guess we all got scammed by a company that had been in business for quite a while so I thought it was safe to become a lifetime member.
If they were just having to go out of business for whatever the reason they could have at the least let us know. Lesson learned!
- Just disappeared with no info
- Could have at least given us life members a heads up
Preferred solution: Full refund

I bought a complete set of pots and pans with the lifetime warranty. I bought a new induction stove and half of these stainless steel lifetime pans don’t work on it .
Half of these lifetime stainless steel pans dont work on my new induction stove so they are worthless to me . I checked with the stove manufacturer and they said its a problem with the metal in the pans especially if half of them work and there doesnt seem to be a way of getting them replaced under warranty
Preferred solution: Replace the pans that don’t work
User's recommendation: Make sure they work on induction stoves as well

I joined Cooking Club of America and in the beginning received things to review as advertised. Have not received anything in over 20 years know.
Very dissatisfied with this company. This is not what being a lifetime member means.
Stay clear of this company and do something else with your money. Being scammed is not what I signed up for in any way.
User's recommendation: Save your money and your time
I agree with these comments. I lov ed CCOA.
The magazine was great and the gifts were awesome! Then everything stopped! Over 30 yrs...nothing!
No magazines, no gifts..no explanation..nothing! What happened?

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.
