Why you should know: the price hike of Xbox GamePass caused their unsubscribe page to crash. This could lead to someone putting it off and immediately forgetting, then getting charged for the next pass against their wishes. Cutting payment at the source will piss off Xbox and they’ll auto kick you off anyway

    Just a note that doing this may result in actions being taken against your accounts(s) - especially charge-backs or related actions. A charge back will almost always result in your account being permanently banned and they will ban you if you try to make new ones.

    Make sure you research the service you want to cancel and the options you’d like to take to cancel it. If it’s a service you make heavy use of then you need to exercise some caution.

      How would removing a recurring charge on the processor side result in a chargeback? A chargeback is when you call your processor/card company and tell them to reverse a charge, which results in the charging company also having to pay a fee on top of losing that revenue.

      If they can’t charge you in the first place, there is nothing to create a chargeback.
