    I just want out of my adobe subscription. Signed up for a free trial and they automaticallyade me into a one year subscription with a $200 cancellation fee when I missed it. Fuck adobe.

    Y’know, folks might be more willing to sign up for things if they knew they could cancel them without a big runaround.

      All the short term executives don’t care about the long term survivability of the company.

    @BrikoX I found an app called Privacy.com. Sign up bank and control all payments with as many cards as you like. Signed up for free Hulu trial with dedicated card and set amount to zero. I Couldn’t cancel but they couldn’t claim, all 5 times they tried!

      Been using it for a few years now. Love it. Only 1 place I used a card where a few months later I got a random charge come through and it blocked it. It felt great knowing I was safe since a card won’t accept charges from anyone but the original company the card was made for. I kind of wanted to reach out to the company and tell them something shady happened to your online site.

        It won’t. They’re just banking on you forgetting you signed up so they can charge your card.

        But If there isn’t any money on the card then they can’t charge you. Think of it as signing up with a gift card in a way. However the times that I’ve done it I haven’t been able to use a card with $0 on it. I’ve always had to put at least $1 on it so the card can be verified.

        Idk if I explained that well

        tl;dr: No
