The Burner Shield: No more accidental charges
Subscription traps are a $1B industry. We're going to make it mathematically impossible for them to bill you.
The Toolkit 🛠️
What you need for this hack
Revolut Disposable Cards
N26 Virtual Controls
The Execution
1
Get a Revolut 'Disposable' Card
Go to your Revolut or N26 app. Choose ‘Create New Virtual Card’ and select ‘Disposable’.
2
The $1.00 Spending Limit
If you are using a standard virtual card, go into ‘Card Settings’ and set the monthly spending limit to exactly $1.00.
3
Register for the 'Free Trial'
Use your burner card to sign up for Netflix, Adobe, or any expensive software. They will verify the card and it will pass.
4
The Automated Shield
When the trial ends and the service tries to bill you $299, the transaction will be DECLINED for over-limit. You are now free from the subscription trap.
The Math
Original Price $299.00 / Year Error
Accidental Charge -$299.00
Final Edge Price $0.00 'Blocked'
