Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead

Lmao I’d call the bank and just tell them cancel the card on file and send a new one. Can’t charge a cancelled card
I hate to burst your bubble but yes they can. creditcards.com/…/recurring-charges-updater-1275/
Yes, merchants can get new card info on recurring charges - CreditCards.com

Updater services allow merchants to know when your credit card information changes, and to alter their records accordingly. If you don't want to continue the subscription, you'll need to cancel it directly

CreditCards.com
They can but they don’t do it all the time. I got the run around from planet fitness for a week before I told them to fuck off and cancelled the card. Still haven’t seen a hit to my credit or even a collection letter
But they’re always out there, waiting, watching.

Yall obs have no exp w gyms. They all have a clause that says if you move they’ll cancel it. Print out generic lease, make address 1234 looney toons, Canada (or as i call it, gay america).

Its then canceled.

They do not all have that clause, and why would they?

Planet Fitness exists like all over the world

Hmm you may be right. Works for other gyms tho.

Theyvdo becauae military orders let you cancel just about any housing or gym contract so most gyms lean into that.
