      The combination of passwords and credit cards with expiration dates = garbage collection for subscriptions.

      A really pro-customer credit card could notice you've been paying for something for a long time that you're not using, and offer to cancel it for you.

      There is *so* much potential energy stored in the credit card monopoly. I'm hoping one day Stripe will liberate it.

          There seems to be an opportunity to build a site to rank how easy to cancel subscriptions. The site can force vendors to play nice with consumers.

          Here in Brazil we have a site called @ReclameAQUI that assumes this job in a larger perspective, with all products and services vendors. Not the same but think with the same goals. We’ve been pretty happy since then.

          We launched exactly *that product* last week! A SaaS Card to help pay, renew, and cancel. @QuolumHQ

          A company make money from processing can’t do that. It will need to disrupt itself. @dapihq we are giving it 100% to break the payment monopoly!

          Truebill is also working on this, albeit from a different angle.
