Dear all
I happen to subscribe to HT thru their Celebration Offer in first week of October. They had taken 7 months subs. in advance and promised me to send a gift in 3-4 week time.
More than 16 weeks are over the gift is still awaited. They always have nice excuse to say when u enquire about the gifts.
I did complain to their smartline many times. HT smartline is certainly better than any other useless helpline service as they pick up the phone very promptly, are very cordial and nice to converse feel sorry for almost everthing and promise u all what you have been looking for. And if you expect taht they will take some action then u r mistaken.
They seem to be as good at cheating/bluffing as any small timer despite being a leading national daily.
Be aware and do not get cheated
