The headline is misleading; it's not just news publications.

>Email newsletters, a welcome letter from the editor, a mobile app download, podcasts, subscription benefits reminders and/or a series of reminder emails over the first week and month have all proven successful with audiences.

Nope, nope, nope to all of that. Annoying me has the opposite effect to what the MBAs want.

As someone below notes: you can go to privacy.com and set up temp credit cards, with a limited $$$ amount. They can try to auto-renew all they want, but they'll just get declined.

Doesn't your credit report (unfairly) take a hit if you do that, the same way it (fairly) does if you don't pay your electric bill?


Good question. I should check.

Of course, privacy.com will say Yes to any name & address you give with your credit card, so you don't have to use your real PII. Or your regular email. How would that show up on your credit report?

It's easy to imagine that everything you provide is checked, but it's not true. Just the credit card number, expiration date, and security code.
