I wonder if you were to just use a burner credit card (e.g. one of those virtual ones you can generate over your existing credit card) and use that to sign up. Then send them an email saying that you are cancelling the subscription and cancelling the credit card the subscription is with as well. I wonder if this would allow you to not waste your time dealing with their ridiculous process. The only potential issue I could see would be someone sending you to collections because they record you as cancelled when your payments start to fail.
