I'm always surprised when people don't know that you can sign up for a streaming service and immediately cancel a minute later. That way, you get billed for one month and then it doesn't autorenew.

I find if I wait until later to cancel, I'll forget. So I just subscribe and cancel at the same time.

@charliejane The last couple of times, I've had a nasty shock. I'm very good at seeing through the bullshit layout design and multi-step process tricks they use to try and make you click the "do NOT cancel" button.

But despite absolutely, positively cancelling them earlier this year, both NOW and Disney took money from me the following month. I successfully got refunded by each after going through customer services, but I suspect they hope people just won't notice.
