Okay. So I can steal an AMEX card (in fact, copy the numbers so that the cardholder is not aware), subscribe it to a bunch of leeching services, and expect that those subscriptions will go on and on even if the holder finds out and changes the card details?
My god.
It doesn’t quite work like that in Europe, as far as I know. The fact that you file chargebacks over and over and they don’t do shit is even more insane.
- blfr 4y ago> It doesn’t quite work like that in Europe Which is annoying in its own way because when your card expire, you need to manually re-enter its new details into all the services you're using. And you (or at least I) will inevitably forget one of these until you need it urgently.
- bambax 4y agoNot annoying at all. It's a good opportunity to revisit each subscription and check if it's actually useful.
- indemnity 4y agoNot annoying to me either, I do it every two or so years to clean house of unnecessary subscriptions. I would get super annoyed at the US behaviour.
- nottorp 4y agoLooks less annoying to me than not being able to cancel. Although in the US people still subscribe to "newspapers" where you can subscribe online but have to wait for hours on hold on a hotline to end the subscription...
