What changed, in plain language

Nothing about your rights or the deal changed. The only difference is a scrambled email link in the "Access" section — the site's spam-protection code for the Customer Care address was regenerated, so the link's jumbled characters look different. The actual contact address, the phone number (855) 940-0585, and every term in the document stayed the same.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDCustomer Care email link re-scrambled (no real change)

    The Atlantic hides its Customer Care email address behind scrambling code so spam bots can't grab it. That scrambled code was regenerated, so the link text changed. It still points to the same email address, and the cancellation instructions and phone number are untouched.
