Pre-ticked boxes signing you into "interesting" marketing propaganda are the pits, no argument here. But what is even worse is when (for example) you book a flight and the airline adds some totally useless "insurance" to your booking. Bangkok Airways comes to mind. This scheme is outright dirty, if not borderline fraudulent. With some pre-ticked box hidden deeply in the form. While I believe this to be illegal in Europe it's apparently not around the world. The tactic is loathsome and still the amounts are relatively small, so that it's not worth it to complain to your credit card company. Plus: hey! you agreed to the crappy, useless insurance to begin with.
