      Even if they don't, I'd highly recommend privacy to anyone and everyone as a way to control payment amounts. You can set up a fresh card for payment which has a set limit on it so they simply can't even charge you after a certain amount of time.

        Be careful with what you use that for. I'm sure most internet-based services will simply cancel your subscription if charges fail, but just because someone is unable to charge the card they have on file for you doesn't necessarily mean you have no responsibility to pay them. It could mean that you effectively end up with an unpaid debt to the company that could be sent to a debt-collection agency or something similar. It could also get your account banned/disabled and block access to something you might have otherwise kept if you had cancelled "properly".

          Good call out, this seemed obvious to me but maybe not to others.

      I'm sure they do; I haven't checked. But the essential question is, For how long should a subscription last? To pick a silly example, there's no point in me giving you a free 30 day subscription...

      I'm sure they do; I haven't checked. But the essential question is, For how long should a subscription last?

      To pick a silly example, there's no point in me giving you a free 30 day subscription for a site where anyone gets a 30-day trial. But if I signed you up for a year of, say, masterclass.com, and you aren't interested in it... that's overkill at best.
