Honestly it’s fucking evil. I had cards expire and thought, awesome, finally done with those subscriptions! Then I noticed I was still getting charged for them on my brand new card.
We’ve let them take our money, manage it for us, and now they’re turning around and saying “don’t worry, you’ll still get everything you need … Just turn over your finances and decisions to us”.
And that’s part of why I transferred over to privacy.com for all my online stuff. Every online website/service gets a dedicated card, with set limits and are easily deactivated.
Unfortunately, privacy.com only works in the united states. I’m unaware of any alternatives.

Can you not just… cancel the subscription?

Just call in and say your card was stolen. They’ll send you a new card with a different number. And auto payments on the card will all stop.
Not necessarily. Some companies with auto payments set have agreements with card companies and they roll with the change.
