    I saw this coming, with no easy way to cancel the monthly subscription and decided to pay with a prepaid credit card instead…glad I did, it saved me from getting robbed.

      There used to be a “loophole”, where if you changed to a different plan, it restarted the 7 day period during which you could cancel with no fee. Not sure if they ever changed that though.

        Thats how I got out of it without having to pay the hundreds of dollars in cancelation fees. I was fuming at the time too, and that was maybe close to 5 years ago now.

        Funnily enough, I just had to sign up for the trial for reasons and made sure to cancel immediately after I was done. I was worried I’d just forget and pay for a month or something.

        Apparently it still works. Came across a Short talking about it.

      Yeah, each time I “subscribe” for sth I use a prepaid card. Once the transaction is made, it destroys itself.
