    Some of them not so easily, no. I had a subscription where I had to call and get forwarded twice over an hour to get someone who kept asking what they had to do to keep my service, dropping fees and halving my monthly rate for 6 months, etc. They make it really hard to cancel.

      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 if 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).
