    I’ve been using those but setting an alarm on my phone for a few days before the month is up so I remember to cancel. So far it’s been working well. Obviously I don’t do that for shady websites, but it works well for corporate free trial periods.

      My company gave me a $25 visa card a while ago and by mistake I only used $24.50. that was actually the best ever because I used that card to sign up for shit like this without worrying. It even helped me get out of AMC stubs or whatever it was called during COVID when they claimed that the theaters were safe but there weren’t even any new movies, they didn’t let me cancel easily so I switched the payment method to that card and when they failed to collect the payment they cancelled the subscription

      Unfortunately it expired a couple of months ago but I’ve been thinking on getting another card and do the same
