I have always just used my regular credit card, but want to figure out something else. Last week I was charged for a full year of Love With Food. I hadn't got a notification, but I like them, so I wasn't upset about resubbing. What upset me is that they charged a card that was compromised in August of last year. The issuer sent out a new card with a new number, but for some reason I didn't get it for months so I never activated it and didn't use it.
I have discovered over the past year that some companies, (so far it has been AAA, Love With Food and Disney) pay the credit card companies to be able to charge your new card number even if it is never given to them. They say it is a courtesy, but it has made me quite angry all three times. I cancelled the credit card altogether today as I decided not to even keep it as an emergency back up card.
So what are my options? Can I use paypal for all subs? Do prepaid cards work? I don't want this to happen again, and frankly, I don't like paying for a year in advance without advance notification.
I am debating fighting the charge just because I am frustrated, but I do like Love With Food and would have resubbed for a third year if they had notified me.
