Not exactly the same, but there is not a great handle on auto pay either. I pay a sub for the gf on ESO, the CC they have on file expired at least 1 CC cycle ago and they are still happily taking the money for her sub, on one hand WTAF??? on the other hand since she plays it all the time I just let it slide, when I get my next renewed CC I will ask my bank why they are allowing an expired card to still function. So far as my physical cards I always cut the mag strip in half and then several pieces, and the chip once in half.
I got the warlock expansion for D2 on bnet using my card on file, which expired several years earlier and I just never updated.
Charge said it went through, I have access to expansion content, but I never had a corresponding charge on my bank account. I think I got an email about it, but I ignored it. Still have access, no apparent evidence of payment, and there's no negative balance on my bnet account that I've found.
I think I just got the game for free by using an expired CC?
