But, like, depending on the contract you have, stopping to pay doesn't absolve you from it. They can just send the cost of the remainder of your term to collections of they want to. So figuring out how to cancel that subscription is kinda worth it. Also, if you want your card provider to stop a certain merchant from getting payments, you can usually do that relatively easily.
Also also, I know that's not always an option, but I just have almost no subscription I can't cancel month-to-month (pretty much just phone, Internet, VPS, stuff I need long-term anyway).
That is becoming less "relatively easy" than it was even a few years ago. The CC companies are adding more steps than there once was.
It is relatively easy for me, but I am with a relatively modern bank in Germany. Am sure it's worse in the States.
