Also, she said that to get the 100 mile bonus, you have to be on EZPay. I distinctly remember checking NO EZpay when I signed up, yet right on the USAT webpage, I was on EZpay. I explained to the woman that this not what I had signed up for and to cancel the paper and refund the difference. I also told her that it's getting around the FF grapevine and don't be surprised that many AA members will be calling to cancel. This whole thing just steams me!
Sorry if this is a repeat of what other folks have already stated, but, this is just incredible and I had to vent a bit.

I guess I was lucky. I got a refund of nearly all of the subscription, even though I got papers for about 2 or 3 weeks, and I got the 1500 miles to keep

Now the offer is not so hot -
Here's the current offer terms from the link in the OP:
* Terms and Conditions: Offer requires enrollment in our EZ-PAY program, our automated payment plan. Your annual subscription will be charged automatically every 4 weeks at the current published rate (currently $12.95). For all airline rewards, the sign up bonus will be awarded after 12 weeks. Cancellations prior to 12 weeks will not be eligible for the initial sign up bonus. Limit one per member per year. Offer valid in the continental US and Hawaii only. All standard airline terms and conditions apply.

Nevermind, writing an email to AA to try to resolve this.
