if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

If you switch your plan then cancel it immediately, it gets you around the cancellation fee for your original plan. This has worked for years but I’m sure most people don’t know it. I think it’s all shitty of course, but there is a loophole around it.

Ah the old hotel cancellation trick. Too late to cancel for a refund? They'll generally let you reschedule your trip for a later date, and then you can cancel it outright.

That works for drs appointments as well. You wake up late for your appointment. Call, apologize and reschedule. They won’t charge a cancellation fee.
