Avoid Automatic Renewal With DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card

Cubase doesn't auto-renew your subscription after the trial period expires. But, free trial offers like MasterClass, Pandora, Lightroom, etc., will put a charge on your credit card immediately after the trial period ends. DoNotPay can help you save your money and avoid using it on services you no longer require.

DoNotPay has introduced virtual credit cards (VCCs), a number sequence that serves as a payment method on online platforms. A VCC is usually for one-time use and is generated for that particular purchase or online merchant. To a retailer, it will appear as an actual card number with all the details required, but no data will be stored, and no further charges can be possible on it.

Free trials are not free when they demand your credit card information. To ensure you don't get stuck with services you don't like and irrevocable subscription deductions, sign up for a free trial card with DoNotPay. With a free VCC, you can take advantage of free trials risk-free since your banking/credit card information is protected, ensuring no merchant steals from you when the free trial expires.
