- rootusrootus 2y agoAs much as I used to hate them, I've now gained an appreciation for PayPal for this kind of stuff. For when I don't want to give my credit card to yet another vendor to possibly be compromised, or manage a sketchy subscription, PayPal is a pretty good solution. I do prefer Apple, but not every subscription can be bought that way.
- Anduia 2y agoDon't you pay more if you use Apple instead of Paypal?
- rootusrootus 2y agoSometimes, but not always. As long as the difference is not too significant, the control over the subscription is worth it to me. Some people don't like 'em, I get it, but when you stay primarily inside their ecosystem it does work pretty seamlessly for most things.
- nijave 2y agoYeah PayPal is pretty good here. There's a page that lists all your billing subscriptions and you can cancel them right there. It's a shame credit cards don't offer the same thing (Chase is able to list them all but provides no contact information or ability to revoke authorization)
- homebrewer 2y agoThe two banks I use provide information about your subscriptions and allow you to cancel any of them with a click of a button. I'm not in the US though (relatively poor "global South"); sometimes it pays to get technology with a significant delay. One of them can also create zero-cost virtual Visa Golds in a couple of minutes. If I need to use a really sketchy service, I simply create a throwaway card, put a bit of cash there, pay for what I need, and then delete the card.
- metadat 2y agoI recommend privacy.com. It's bulletproof. Single use card? Check. Merchant-locked? Check. You are in control. It costs $0.
