Interesting. Both gyms I belonged to had no trouble cancelling me when they went bankrupt during Covid. Not so much as a letter or phone call. Just locked doors with a sign on it giving the bad news.I think the difficulties in cancelling gym memberships and newspaper / magazine subscriptions were the big motivating factors behind this regulation.
By coincidence, I just cancelled a SiriusXM account this morning. They have an AI chatbot doing it now, so I didn't have to interact with anyone on the phone. The whole process, including refusing their offers, took only about a minute or two. That's progress!Sirius XM is screwed. They are so hard to cancel. They absolutely rely on the fact that you must interact with someone to both make you avoid doing it and then to pound you with save offers. It took me two failed attempts to even try to cancel and then after W0 minutes dealing with a chat suddenly the $5 for 12 months thing popped out.
Yeah, but I bet you'll be inundated with texts and e-mails "inviting" you back! You'll never hear the end of it.By coincidence, I just cancelled a SiriusXM account this morning.

Netflix is great, I can cancel easy and they are clear about it, plus they let me re-signup with all my existing data available.

Well it worked for me many years, but this year I didn't do it, as I could stream data during the Summer (quite novel to watch a tv show on my phone in the woods!).Are you sure about Netflix keeping your data? Because a few months ago we were going to be out of the country for almost a month and were caught up on anything we wanted to see on NF. So we decided to cancel for a few months. When I went to cancel on the website, NF told me that I could suspend my account for a month and keep my viewing history/recommendations/data/etc. But if I "cancelled" I would lose that data.
We ended up suspending for a month. Might do that regularly as new, interesting stuff on NF ebbs and flows.
