Can we talk about Netflix's old DVD subscription I stuck with way too long?

I kept my Netflix DVD plan until 2021, paying $10 a month for discs I barely watched. After 6 months of renting nothing, I finally cancelled it and realized I'd wasted about $60 on a service I forgot I even had. On one hand, the selection was huge and no streaming service had those older movies. On the other hand, who actually waits for mail in 2021 when you can stream instantly? Anyone else stick with a dead tech service longer than they should have because of nostalgia?

Did they ever actually send you those last few discs or just keep charging?

Take a hard look at your bank and credit card statements going back a few months. You'd be surprised how many merchants quietly keep billing after they stop shipping, hoping you won't notice. If you spot anything fishy, file a dispute with your card issuer immediately, they usually side with you on this kind of thing.
