If you signed up online, the company must provide a way to cancel online per visa rules. Check their TOS, they probably list a way to cancel online via email or whatever.

Got a citation on this? I'd love for it to be true, since it'll save me a lot of effort. But WSJ, for instance, requires you to cancel via phone even if you sign up online.

Nice find. From some other quick research, if there is a violation, you have to report it to Visa via phone or mail.

Looks like they used to have an online form a several years ago, but it went missing. Various blog/forum posts indicate that most people have had no luck getting any sort of response from Visa via mail.
