Has anyone tried this? Signing up for one promotion for a week, then cancelling for another.

    I did a few meal kits subscriptions a while back when I got coupons that made them very cheap/free(can’t remember). Did them in my name and then my wife’s name, too. One was called Home Chef, I can’t find where I got the coupon, though.

    Privacy.com makes doing that so much easier. It allows you to create debit card numbers that have spending limits, and can be shut off. You can sign up for subscription plans and not have to worry about these companies making it insanely hard to cancel.

        No catch that I know of. I use it for subscription services constantly. I don’t even bother to try to cancel them anymore, I just set the card to $1 all-time and forget about it.

    My cousin did this so much that the company called him and asked him to stop. No repercussions or anything, just “please stop”
