Baremetrics required a phone call to cancel

For most online services i use disposable cards that i can block any time.

If they use invoice based billing then i make sure it's easy to cancel.

Don't support businesses with shady practices.

How does one get disposable cards? Bank of America had this temporary credit card number feature, but they got rid of it (last year I think).

The other thing I learned - if your card is lost and you get a new credit card, I thought I had to update the number for the subscriptions. Nope, some services like Comcast knew my new number automatically, while others didn't. I don't know how this works.

Privacy.com will generate temporary debit card numbers with easily controlled access rules. It's a lot like BofA's old service.

Anyone know of a UK equivalent? This looks really useful.

Revolut is a UK based firm (also here in Australia now) that can set up virtual cards for you under your debit account.
