Just use Privacy's virtual cards to sign up for services. If a service doesn't let you cancel, just cancel the card itself. That's what I've been doing.
Of course, it's a different story if you signed some kind of contract, but for the pay-montly kind of things, it's a no brainer. You also keep your real cards number private in case the service gets hacked and Privacy doesn't seem to check the name, so you can give a fake name to the service.
- fpig 5y agoThis looks like a great service! Edit: crap, looks like it's US-only :/

- fpig 5y agoYep it does! Had no idea.
- ykat7 5y agoIf you're in the UK, EU, New Zealand, Australia, or Singapore, I found out yesterday that Wise (TransferWise) customers get 3 virtual cards free of charge [1][2]. I'd be interested to hear about any other UK/EU firms offering similar.

- rovr138 5y agoEvery time you sign up for a monthly service, there’s an agreement and terms which is a contract between both parties. While this works, depending on the service and what it says, they can send your debt to collectors. And that’s why there needs to exist regulation around it.
