As I have been "internet shopping" yesterday and today, I am having regret over ever signing up for subscriptions.

I am the only one to blame for signing up in the first place, but trying to cancel them now has landed me in a situation of more "red tape" when trying to cancel.

I'm making the assumption that retailers (or, in my case, online companies, seem to all be joining in the chant of "do not let your customers cancel ANYTHING"! 

It feels like they are desperate and using more "tricks" to hold onto our money?

@LTT1   Good morning!  I understand the word subscription but what does is mean when it comes to shopping?

Somewhere I read there is an app that cancels subscriptions for you.  Maybe a Google search would help...

[CalminHeart]

If any of your subscriptions are through your Apple ID, you can see them on  your phone and cancel them.

Settings - Apple ID - Subscriptions.  You can view them and cancel whatever you want. 

I'm sorry I don't know how they are found on Android phones.

Oh thank you so much! What will they think up next!

I gotta get that! It would really help!

Here is what I mean...

if you subscribe to receiving a product every month or say every other month,

you get a discount.

I fall for the lower price every time and then forget that I did it.

Along comes an email

"Thenk you for your order?"

What?

The thing that happened this morning was I went to their site and somehow I didn't have an account!

it was a mess!

I had "joined" this company's site because my daughter asked me to.

So I had an order number but no acct...I made a second acct because I couldn't get to the acct under which the order had occurred. [$10/month for their newsletter]

Now I have sent their "customer care" a notice to cancel my account. 🙄

Mass advertising has been taken over by AI...

I am a huge fan of pearls...any kind or color..., but especially "exotics" like biwa, coin, baroque, keshi, etc.

I only have to look up ONE item on the net...and soon I am flooded with as many as 20 vendor ads and emails...including even Yurman...(JTV is more in my price range.)

Makes me feel like I'm being "stalked"...
