I’ve seen enough loathsome subscription traps online to hate the idea of being caught, The Atlantic may well not use them but the whole idea puts me off. I subscribed to Foreign Affairs several years ago and you had to phone them to cancel your subscription, being in the UK on a monthly pay as you go plan it was complex to work out how to extend it to make an actual phone call to the US. I have heard of quite a few news papers with easy to sign up deals which require some painfully irksome method to sign up. The whole prospects revolts me to the extent that I doubt I’ll ever sign up directly. Although it would be handy to read about a website that could give you confidence you won’t be trapped that’s usually something you wish you’d done after you were trapped. Having said that using PayPal I was able to stop a recurrent payment contract for a Taste card after the it monthly email mentioned in passing at the bottom that it would be renewing.
