This is why I use masked cards to sign up for these services. I lock them in at a certain price per month, and if that price goes up on its own, then they'll suddenly discover they don't have my money.

Not that it should require a hack like that, mind you...

How do you do masked cards where you can control the regular charge amount? Is that a particular bank's feature or?

I use an app called Privacy. You just connect your bank account to it and then setup any one time or monthly recurring payments.

Yeah, looks like probably the app for privacy.com, the website was mentioned above. Thanks!
