That is unacceptable behavior, and I entirely understand you not wanting to condone it.
For people who find themselves in that situation, one practical workaround I've found is using a service like Privacy.com which lets you generate dedicated Visa cards that you can pause or limit charges on
- b3morales 5y agoUnfortunately Privacy.com requires the generated cards to be paid by a bank account (rather than a credit card). So you have to be okay with them having your banking info.
- barbazoo 5y agoI got very interested in that service but it's ridiculously difficult to figure out how one's account get funded. I did find it at the very bottom of [0]. Also restricted to US customers only. They're not that much better when it comes to dark patterns if the "How it works" section completely neglects the part where and how you pay THEM.

- mikeiz404 5y agoIf you complain to them about that they will allow you to use an ACH number instead of account credentials.
- smoe 5y agoI would love to use privacy.com but I couldn't find any alternatives outside the US. Any suggestions?
