CC contracts are kind of funny, because they are 1 year contracts with auto renewal, and they don't give you an easy option to cancel them, but if you happen to pay with a virtual credit card which happens to run out of funds after 1 month, then the contract gets canceled and the penalty for that is... none.
- chrisseaton 8y agoThis seems dishonest if you know the agreement is for a year and then you use a virtual credit card to get around that.
- dspillett 8y agoIt is no more a dark pattern than an auto-renewing annual subscription sold as a monthly one with no easy way to cancel ahead of time (assuming what others have said is correct there - I have no first-hand experience on that point as I've never subscribed). I know two wrongs don't make a right, but then again neither does one. And I count three dark patterns from them before we get to counting the one from that user, so that should be "four wrongs don't make a right, but three don't either"!
