Which is why you should NEVER sign up for the autopay option through companies like this, they always have some fine print that allows this sort of thing...
A lot of “teachable moments” here but, if there is a choice between charging your checking account and charging your credit card, ALWAYS ALWAYS go with the credit card.
“Which is why you should NEVER sign up for the autopay option “
I NEVER do. It is nothing but their desire to keep you as a customer by automatically charging your accounts. I had AOPA do this, whereby my credit card was automatically charged their annual membership fee even though I had opted out. It pissed me off enough I canceled my membership with AOPA after a number of years with them. If they are that desperate for business to need to be such weasels then they are doing a lousy job and I don’t need their services.
