Don't credit cards usually expire after 4 years? Otherwise, be European :)
They also expire after a person dies. The burden shouldn’t be on the user but on the company. If you are American in the living room, what are you in the bathroom? you're-a-peein....
With any luck you credit card will expire before you do :)

Unless you have a contract, no, you don't owe them anything. Saying that you'd like recurring charges doesn't obligate you to continue paying after you've stopped using a service.
Gym membership requires you to sign a contract (that usually come with minimal commitments/early termination fees, etc).

Interesting. I cancelled Netflix account 7 months ago and haven't used it since. A few days ago I received "Action needed: Reset your password" due to allegedly "suspicious sign-in". After changing the password and looking into the Recent activity, I couldn't see any suspicious recent login there. So I contacted the support and they said cancelled accounts are deleted after 10 months since cancellation. So now, with…
Did you use Netflix on any devices? Maybe one of those was trying to connect.
The email I received was "We’ve detected a suspicious sign-in to your Netflix account. Just to be safe we've reset your password and you’ll need to set a new one." with a button to "Set a new password".
It didn't mention any IP or geolocation as many other services say in such cases.

Normal? What other business does that? I can’t think of one.
SkyDemon (a flight planning and navigation app) is a delight for subscribers: * Subscriptions are for one year at a time, and have transparently indicated pricing. No "$2.71 per day, charged annually", no hidden tips, taxes or convenience fees. * If you don't use the app for a few months, they auto-extend your subscription by an extra month as a courtesy. * When your annual subscription is about to expire, they send…

Netflix is notoriously generous here. They allegedly auto-cancel accounts that don't use the service for too long! https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/net...

Apparently someone from Netflix read my comments here and deactivated the account completely. :P Thanks! Sorry if I spoiled your clever marketing strategy but I think sending a fake "suspicious login" email and keeping cancelled accounts for 10 months is just not right.

Looking at the USA from European eyes, there are no leftist publications, nor any left mainstream politicians there!
We can just as easily say that from an African perspective there are no right wing publications or politicians. After all in most of Africa homosexuality is still criminalized. In many places, witchcraft and apostasy still is. And Africa has about triple the population of Europe. So what makes Europe the default point of comparison? (More reporters having done a semester abroad at Barcelona than Lagos is not a valid…
I'm surprised how many publications went the route of selling subscriptions to a virtual paper. I can't bring myself do to it. If it was just a 75 cents charge for the new articles and you could access them forever, that would be more appealing to me. Put it this way wouldn't mind buying a national geographic on the iPad but I don't want a subscription for this very reason and it seems like a waste of money paying fo…
You can buy a single issue of the NYT (and many other newspapers) via kindle and "own" them forever.
I just cancelled and it was relatively painless, to their credit. When they asked the reason, I said that political coverage was unfair. Left is OK, unfair is not. I don't consider myself "on the left" but I really don't mind a publication being left of center or right of center. If it's good, I will pay for it (I subscribed tp The Atlantic at least twice, and the New Yorker once, and probably others in a mix of prin…
> But I can no longer do the work that you brought me here to do—the work that Adolph Ochs described in that famous 1896 statement: “to make of the columns of The New York Times a forum for the consideration of all questions of public importance, and to that end to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion.”
