The reason why your continuous gift renewal for Reader's Digest will cost $27 and a new one only $7 is because Reader's Digest offers a discounted price for new subscriptions. This is a common practice among subscription companies, as they want to attract new customers and grow their subscriber base.

When you sign up for a continuous gift renewal, you are essentially agreeing to pay the full price of the subscription every year. This is the price that non-subscribers would pay if they were to purchase a subscription directly from Reader's Digest. However, if you cancel your continuous gift renewal and then sign up for a new subscription, you will be eligible for the discounted price.

This is because Reader's Digest wants to make it as easy as possible for people to subscribe to their magazine. They know that some people may be hesitant to commit to a year-long subscription, so they offer a discounted price for new subscribers. This way, people can try out the magazine without having to worry about paying full price if they decide they don't like it.

Of course, there are some drawbacks to subscribing to Reader's Digest through a continuous gift renewal. For one, you will be locked into a year-long subscription. This means that you will have to pay the full price even if you decide you no longer want the magazine. Additionally, you may not be eligible for the same discounts and promotions that new subscribers receive.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to subscribe to Reader's Digest through a continuous gift renewal or as a new subscriber is up to you. If you are sure that you want to subscribe to the magazine for a year, then the continuous gift renewal may be a good option for you. However, if you are not sure if you will like the magazine, then you may want to subscribe as a new customer and take advantage of the discounted price.
