You can't cancel a meetup subscription online, you have to submit a ticket.
You can start a subscription online however.
Another sign of a failed company, trying to hold onto those who want to leave.
Seems like its chargeback time.
- johnmoonyy 7y agoThis is a big pet peeve of mine. Just seems desperate when it's twist and turns to cancel and get 1 extra month. E.g gyms
- siquick 7y agoNot a great solution, but VPN into California and it should show a cancellation option.
- nickcox 7y agoSeriously? What possible reason could there be for limiting this to Californians?
- dhosek 7y agoDark patterns. Make it hard to cancel unless legally compelled otherwise.
- joeconway 7y agoIt's a Californian law mandating that subscriptions that can be started online, must be cancellable online. https://www.androidauthority.com/california-online-subscription-law-883800/ https://www.androidauthority.com/california-online-subscript...
- baddox 7y agoAMC’s movie ticket subscription service requires waiting for and chatting with an ostensibly human support agent in order to cancel a subscription. If that’s a real loophole in the CA law then they should obviously patch it.
- blaser-waffle 7y agoRun it deliberately until someone complains, and then make a pro forma change. Run that cycle until someone actually passes a law or takes you to court in some fashion.
- wccrawford 7y agoThe question wasn't "Why does CA get this?" The question was "Why doesn't everyone get this, if CA has it?"
- marcosdumay 7y agoBecause they want it to be hard.
- ryanSrich 7y agoCCPA EDIT: I guess it's not CCPA, but a separate law https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB313 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...
- manigandham 7y agoI recommend using virtual credit cards or https://privacy.com/ https://privacy.com/
- aeoanx 7y agoIf only it wasn't US only
- hkmurakami 7y agoI remember one of those cheap wine subscription companies required a phone call.
- quickthrowman 7y agoThe Wall Street Journal makes you call a phone number to cancel a subscription. It’s the reason I’ve never subscribed.
- inapis 7y agoSet the address to CA and the option to cancel pops up.
- goatinaboat 7y agoYou can't cancel a meetup subscription online, you have to submit a ticket. You can start a subscription online however. Another sign of a failed company, trying to hold onto those who want to leave. The New York Times is the same. Rather than bothering I simply cancelled it on the PayPal side.
- distances 7y agoDoes this get you off the hook in the US? I'm pretty sure I'd be soon talking with a collections agency if I did only that with my subscriptions.
- goatinaboat 7y agoThey send you a series of increasingly emotionally-manipulative emails then give up. It’s a monthly subscription after all, you stop paying then they disable you access to paid content. They perfectly well know they’re doing something shady by making it easy to sign up but hard to cancel. As others have pointed out that’s illegal in some jurisdictions. They won’t want to press it.
- Cederfjard 7y agoAnd it doesn't affect your credit?
- goatinaboat 7y agoWhy would it? It’s not a loan.
