For me, https://privacy.com has been a lifesaver in situations like this. Can't cancel a subscription? Just cancel the card. Voilà!

Don’t try that with a gym membership or similar. They will come after you.
Yeah, definitely an important disclaimer.

Generally speaking I try not to sign up for any service where the terms are deeply onerous or the industry has a bad reputation (like with gyms). For most SaaS and other online subscription models, I've found that cancelling a card is a pretty easy way to let the subscription lapse.

Can you elaborate on "come after you"? I would definitely use this type of option for gym subscriptions when given the chance.
Send you to collections and ding your credit or perhaps even sue you.
