For all newspaper subscriptions (and all other semi-shady companies), I use Privacy.com. It allows you to create silo-ed credit card numbers and specify how much each card is allowed to charge you per week/month/overall. When I want to cancel a newspaper subscription and it's impossibly difficult, I just email them telling them I'd like to cancel the subscription delete the associated credit card. Not my problem anymore |

May be different in the US, but if you did that in the UK and they didn't read your email or whatever, you're likely have them sell the debt to a collection agency which will then place a marker on your credit record.
It's then a huge pain in the ass undoing the credit record mark. I still have a default on my record thanks to the cable company here not cancelling our service properly. They even sent an courier to pick the equipment up but despite a trillion emails explaining this they insist they can't do anything about it because they have sold it to a collections agency. What a load of gibberish.
