If you want to cancel a subscription for whatever reason, worst comes to worst (dark pattern nonsense like trying to cancel an Adobe subscription) you can call your bank and request for a replacement card
I did this, a gym membership could “only be cancelled by the manager” I just went online and changed the credit card number on file. Moved away never looked back
However sometimes they allow cards that are being used for recurring subscriptions to keep going even if you’ve had the card replaced. I know from experience Chase does this
Tell them it was lost/stolen. Don’t dispute any existing charges, but for security reasons they should still block any new charges made against the old card.
My American Express card was compromised a few weeks ago and while they sent me a new card I was still able to use the old one at stores, use mobile payments, and recurring payments could process. The only thing I couldn’t do was use it online. Even after I received the new card, recurring transactions were able to occur.

Specifically ask the bank to revoke authorization codes.

It’s supposedly for convenience. More for the people charging me than me, but convenient nonetheless.

I learned this because I used to get drunk and lose my credit card.
The trick with Adobe is to use PayPal… you can then cancel the recurring payment yourself.
Sure, but then you need a PayPal account, and fuck PayPal.
