I use virtual credit cards from privacy.com. for trials I set a $1 limit and forget about it. It's pretty useful for legitimate subscriptions too, since I can pause or end them just by pausing the card.
A great idea for gyms too with their frustrating cancellation policies.
Tried doing that with my gym and they kept charging me, then threatened to take it to collections if I didn’t pay up. They also called me twice a day asking for money, and if I answered and then hang up right after it will call you back immediately. They also used a different number each time so you can’t really block it.
Definitely should share what gym so people can avoid it at all costs
Don’t want to say the exact gym because it’s a local chain but they used a software suite called “ABC Fitness”
Quote from their website
“Intelligent”
I guess that you had an agreement that specified how you were to cancel the contract.
It’s not really a good idea to just stop paying companies that you have an agreement with because you could get reported as a non-payer which could affect your credit rating.
Edit: I’m not defending shitty practices that make it difficult to cancel or the shitty way that they handled this.
I was on a money save spree so I disabled some cards not knowing it was tied to the gym.
Yes. I literally had to close a bank account to get Planet Fitness to stop charging me.
sigh another US-only service. it seemed like such a great deal.
It does, and I get disappointed every time I read about it
Usa Only :(
