This hits home today. Just got charged double for a gym membership out of the blue (getting charged even once is bad enough since I don't really use it). Weekend, no one can help. Money is already gone from my account. Busy AF during working hours this week, but add this on to shit I need to take care of. I'll also point out that this is a place where businesses will now let me talk to their AI for 20min of complete nonproductivity, but I can't arm myself with an Ai to take my side because I'm never going to give one access to my credit card info to be able to even discuss this.

This is why I generally push bills instead of letting them pull. Yeah, it's a bit of a chore to go in and change amounts every month, but if I forget, the default will probably overpay the bill slightly.

And I don't have to worry about the electric company deciding they want to randomly pull $1200 this month.

I like the idea of that but in this subscription based life it's just so many to keep track of and time is an extremely limited resource for me.

I view as it keeping me frugal. If the trouble of going in and paying for it every month isint worth the trouble then I shouldnt get the service and save the money instead

Never NEVER put a subscription on a debit card!

If possible use the temp/security credit card numbers that some banks will give you for free.
