Next time you want to purchase something online that requires a credit card but don't want to sign up for the recurring subscription charges; request a temporary credit card number from your bank. Now-a-days most big banks (ex: Citibank) offer disposable credit card numbers for one time purchases. Sign-up and within minutes you will be provided with a temporary card number that will allow you to purchase your item(s) without having to worry about canceling subscriptions. When the merchant tries to re-bill your credit card, their charge will be denied because the card is no longer valid. Pay for what you want, not what they want!
