I didn't have any trouble cancelling the NYT. My credit card number changed, and that was that :-)

I had a newspaper send me to collections when I tried that; over a matter of about $18 for newspapers they never delivered because I hadn't paid.

The NYT cut me off when the old card got declined, so if they had sent it to a collection agency, I would have disputed it.

That sounds like tremendous trouble if you have your card on any sites like Amazon.

It was indeed a nuisance, but when a fraudulent transaction appeared on my statement, it had to be done. I just found it convenient to not update the card on the NYT.

Virtual cards are great for this. My brother keeps recommending privacy.com, I need to look into it.

I used virtual cards for decades. PayPal had a Firefox extension that did this in the early aughts.

I used getfinal.com for several years too but they went bankrupt. I don't even try anymore
