Oh 100%. One of the many ways corporations try to pull money out of your wallet when you’re not looking.
In these sorts of situations, I’ve sometimes made use of a temporary card using services like privacy.com. Lets you sign up for free trials that require cards without giving them any real card details. That way, if you happen to forget to remove the subscription (or if they are so draconian they make it nearly impossible to do so) the transaction fails to process when they try to charge you.
Sometimes even banks provide temporary/virtual card services for their members, too.
So, shady stuff.
