i tried to update my credit card so they won’t send me daily fucking emails that i “owe” them $30 (because a gym membership definitely needs to be a cOnTraCt, sure, sure), but the website didn’t work, so I tried calling their “automated” system, whereupon after entering my info to the robot, it gave up and connected me to a guy who i had to speak do and do it all over again.

then they made the poor guy literally ask at the end ‘are you satisfied with my service today’

    This is why I used Privacy for my gym membership. They tried to charge me during Covid when they were closed and I just turned off the card they were using.

    Also, check out https://port87.com

    It automatically sorts things based on subaddresses, so you can give the gym yourname-beefcakegym@port87.com, and you’ll get a label named beefcakegym where all their emails go. Then if they pester you, you can just block that address.

    Full disclosure: I built and run Port87.
