DDI annoyance: a solution to forced/unavoidable continuing billing

[Duncan Haldane]

I wouldn't mind auto-renewal if they could only put the price up a smallish percentage - say 10% - in one year.

My solution is to us a virtual credit card # from my credit card company. It expires in 2 weeks and no other vendor can charge to that # after the first vendor does.
Best way to buy stuff online IMO.

How do you get one of these? I never heard of this before.

In Spain you can ask from your bank a virtual debit card (basically a card number) and "load" it from your regular account. I strongly suggest keeping the card empty and loading with the amount you'll need to make your next purchase when you decide to do it. I never keep any remainder in the card.
