Reply to comment by Ok-Influence4884 in “Click-to-cancel” rule would penalize companies that make you cancel by phone - Canceling a subscription shouldn't be harder than signing up, FTC proposal says. - How will The Globe or America's Test Kitchen Survive?!?!1?! by arch_llama

I started to cancel my Globe subscription (I was on the $1 trial) last year online and when I went to hit submit, it offered me a discount instead. I declined that, and it offered me a bigger discount. Declined that one too, and was offered a year for something stupidly cheap like $10, so I still have a subscription. So I guess their plan worked, but I've now given them $11 for 18 months of access so I'm OK with that.
