This is why I use masked cards to sign up for these services. I lock them in at a certain price per month, and if that price goes up on its own, then they'll suddenly discover they don't have my money.

Not that it should require a hack like that, mind you...

    How do you do masked cards where you can control the regular charge amount? Is that a particular bank's feature or?

    Privacy.com's cards offer that feature (allegory the original selling point for me was that I could use them alongside any name/address). It's helped me cut down on attempted fraud a couple times too.

    I think it's technically a payment processor, but functionally it's more like a proxy between a bank and online shops/services
