I use privacy.com, free service, let’s you create a virtual card for each subscription, then pause or cancel a card.

This way if I cancel Netflix I can also pause the card, if they try and bill be it’d be processed as a failed transaction.

Free teir only let’s you make 6 cards / month but after a couple months you should be able to get everything moved over.

(Also cards are locked to the vendor so if the card gets compromised it can’t be used anywhere else)

Only time I ever did a chargeback like that was from a health app with virtual doctor visit. App was so bad that I wasn’t able to communicate with the person due to crashes every time you type a letter and attachments crashing that they left the call. Took like 4 months but my bank sided with me. Fortunately if they ban me from that app I don’t think much is lost lol

Yeah doing a charge back is a last resort and should only be used when you’ve actually been screwed over and you don’t mind the account/service that you’re doing the charge back against being permanently banned.

If it didn’t work and there were no refunds, then what the hell else do you do? There was stealing, but it wasn’t this guy.

I only kept the game, because they have no mechanism for returning it. I didn’t want the game.

You’re also ignoring the power dynamic here. The consumer has zero power in situations like this. A charge back is one of the few tools we have to try to avoid being taken advantage by corporations.

What, am I going to sue Sony Computer Entertainment, and best them in court? Or is it more likely that they’re aware that they hold all of the power in this dynamic?

Why would changing a password put you on a list?
