Apple Card auto update

The rotating numbers or changing numbers are used to prevent fraud. They are not intended for changing a legal contract between two parties. If you need to cancel a membership or subscription please contact the party you made agreement with.


Fraud is illegal, a gym membership is not illegal. Credit card companies work to prevent fraud. The fact that a fraud prevention feature doesn’t interfere with subscriptions and memberships is a positive feature. I have probably dozens of various types of subscriptions tied to a credit card. If my card is fraudulently used, it’s easy to change the number and maintain my current subscriptions and memberships. I don’t want to go and change my information in all those companies to maintain subscriptions.


The feature works excellently for it’s intended purpose.

every time my 3 digit security code changes or I change my card number. these numbers get automatically updated with whatever provider that has my credit card info. This effectively renders the ability to change security code and card number mute.


For example I want to stop la fitness from charging my credit card. I can no longer just change my card number or security code because those numbers are automatically updated on la fitness account system. Even worse what if this happens at a fraudulent website.

You like the feature. I don't. We are all different. Give me the option to opt out of the auto update feature. That would be the honest thing to do. I by accident signed up for something on the App Store. I thought it was the app but it was an add I accidentally clicked on. It was my mistake. I tried to cancel. They are not responding. I changed my credit card number, but I dont know if the auto update feature will update the numbers for the app/website. I don't feel safe in this case. I want to opt out.
