I don't think I've ever let my subsctiption to Vogue expire (in I don't
know how many years) but I've subscribed to other magazines on and off
through the years. When I get a bill for a renewal that I don't want
to take place, I've always just sent it back with 'CANCEL' written
across the bill. I've never had a problem. It doesn't take that much
effort...especially if the alternative is to be bombarded with bills
and/or magazines you don't want.
