Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And every “cancel anytime at our front desk between 2-4 PM on a Tuesday” gym.
Chargeback time!
Every time I have tried this my bank sided with the company
Time to change banks.
I actually did lol I went to a credit union.
Before that I only went to small banks but they kept getting bought out by bigger ones every year my bank got bigger and bigger until I had a shit national bank again.
I've never gotten a hold of a gym manager faster than when I reported them to my bank for fraudulently charging an account they said they'd removed from their system.
Too late buddy.
This is great, but I want to see auto-renewal be something you have to opt in to when you sign up for a subscription service. It should never be the automatic default (as it always is everywhere now).
Can we also target restaurants that list a price and then add on bogus fees for no reason?
Looking at you, South End Buttery Annex in Boston, MA. 4% "administrative fee" on all purchases that is advertised NOWHERE.
Reminds me of a local restaurant where they train the servers to ask if you want any sauces/dips, and then fail to inform you that they're charging you for it when you say yes. Shadiest shit ever.
I would also like to put an end to banks sharing my new credit card information with businesses I have subscriptions with. A lot of subscriptions would de facto cancel if banks quit providing that information.
Holy shit what!? I've never had this happen... Sounds like fraud!
No it's a real thing: https://developer.visa.com/use-cases/identify-merchants-receiving-automatic-card-updates
I became aware when I tried to quiet cancel a service just by not updating them with my new card expiration date. Turns out they automatically get the updated info from the issuing bank.
Wow what's the point of the expiration date then? Damn that is so shady by those companies that do that!
