I'd like to subscribe to the New York Times, for example, but the only way I can get a subscription appears to involve signing a form that says, "here's my credit card and just keep charging me forever unless I tell you to stop".

No. I just want a one-year subscription, and if I like it I'll renew. But apparently I'm not allowed to do that any more, so I just don't subscribe and read the occasional free articles that come to me on Facebook. This strategy must work for the New York Times overall, but it costs them my money and I want to pay them.

use a prepaid card
