Before you cancel — 60 seconds

  1. Note next bill date and annual vs monthly.
  2. Export any data (Notion, password vault, photos).
  3. Screenshot the current price line — proof if they “win back” with a fake discount.

Set calendar for one day before trial end; most trials bill at local midnight.

SaaS (Notion, Canva, VPN)

When cancel fails

  • Card issuer recurring charge dispute — last resort; document prior cancel attempts.
  • Replace card number only for rogue merchants — heavy-handed, works.
