i tried to update my credit card so they won’t send me daily fucking emails that i “owe” them $30 (because a gym membership definitely needs to be a cOnTraCt, sure, sure), but the website didn’t work, so I tried calling their “automated” system, whereupon after entering my info to the robot, it gave up and connected me to a guy who i had to speak do and do it all over again.
then they made the poor guy literally ask at the end ‘are you satisfied with my service today’
Highly recommend privacy.com to create virtual credit cards for stuff like this.
Also, see if your own credit card will allow virtual cards. I have at least two where I can create virtual cards and one that allows me to set them as single use, continual, or trial card that will validate but not charge.
I use Chime. Usually for just small payments occasionally.
