Spent 45 minutes canceling a $4.99 subscription last week and felt like on idiot

I spent 45 minutes last week trying to cancel a $4.99 subscription. I honestly didn't expect it to take that long.

I couldn't even find the cancellation page at first, and then someone in the chat kept trying to convince me to stay. I had to say no a few times before they finally let me cancel. It's $60 a year, so I guess it was worth doing.

I've had the same issue with food subscription boxes, especially when the next box is already on its way. I've put off canceling a few before and ended up paying for another month.

Recently, I've started looking into ways to send cancellation requests without having to deal with every company separately. It might save me some time since I still have a couple of boxes I keep meaning to cancel.

Have you ever kept paying for a subscription box just because canceling it was such a hassle?
