Don’t do this. Your card not working (generally speaking) doesn’t automatically end a contract.

You could end up with the subscription not ending but just accruing as a debt, which the vendor could then sell on to a debt collector at a later point.

If you just let a card expire you’re generally relying on the good will of the vendor to treat it as a cancellation.

But were put into this position by the bad will of the vendors who make it next to impossible to cancel the contract.
Talk about hyperbole. What vendor contracts are next to impossible to cancel? And are we just talking about obnoxious phone calls with extended waits?
