    Gyms typically want your checking information, rather than your card to avoid exactly that.

    So you just have to go to the counter and tell them to remove your payment information and when they don’t, (they’ll say they have but you’ll magically get another change months later) then report them to your bank for fraud.

    They’ll get a hold of you real fuckin fast.

    When they take your checking account details they’re required by law to remove them from your system when you ask.

      required by law

      What’s the penalty if they don’t? Because if it’s a fine, then they’ll just build the fine into the cost of membership.

        A bank account that you use to pay for stuff, the one that your card is linked to, as opposed to a savings or an investment account.

          I live in a country that hasn’t used cheques in a couple of decades. Being reminded of their existence and spelling it “check” was beyond my aging 40 year old brain.

            That’s interesting. Never heard of that term. Guess we both learned something today!

            It’s pretty cool how there’s so many people from around the world here, you can learn a lot that you’d never come across otherwise.
