For the rare business where it’s (unfortunately) standard practice e.g. gyms, I just setup a new (free) checking account with my existing bank.
Other than those rare, and “standarized” cases, they’d have to be critical to my ability to keep breathing for me to even consider using a check, or another payment method linked directly to bank, including a debit transaction that requires my PIN, or ever using my debit card online.
I meant it as a counterpoint, not something I’d actually do. Especially considering I don’t shop in such places in the first place. But yes, you’re obviously correct.
I will absolutely employ a 0 tolerance policy on forced ads.
If I have paid for a service to be ad free and you throw me an ad, I won’t pay for your service.
Hell, I’ll back-charge through my creditor and say I paid for a service that was not delivered.
Careful of backcharging large companies. They’ll remove your account from all their services. Looking at you Google.
They don’t delete anything, though. They just deny YOU access to it.
Not your computer, not your data. The cloud is just a buzzword for someone else’s computer. Always run local backups.
That product tying is reason #3821 we need to start enforcing anti-trust law again.
And that’s the exact reason that less and less people are taking credit cards and only taking debit and ACH.
not really. it’s that credit cards usually cost a lot more per transaction in fees to the merchant.
I’ve never seen a merchant that doesn’t take a credit card. wtf are you talking about
People, or businesses?

I’d look through the fine print if it says that they won’t serve ads. Cause I doubt that.
‘we reserve the right to change… (this, that, and everything else)’
The fine print didn’t say I won’t do a chargeback either. Two can play this game.
I’d try to get a refund first unless you never plan to shop on Amazon again.
