Hallmark eCARDS Online Hallmark cards subscription Expiration date was supposed to 2014 - but still getting charged on credit card an annual fee Internet

Today I noticed on my credit card statement HALLMARK ECARDS charged $18.00.  I am thinking what??  I remember using this online greeting card service a few years back but certainly have not used it in a very long time.

Luckily I keep a password book and I was able to get into my account.

User Subscription details indicate:

Subscription ID

Subscription Date: June 17, 2013

Expiration Date: June 17, 2014

Auto-Bill: Yes

Price: $12.00

WELL!  Just because I paid for 1 year and it was due to expire June 17, 2014 - that did not mean that they would stop the AUTO BILL.  Turns out I have been paying $12.00 annually for this service and --- gues what?-- they have increased the yearly subscription in 2018 to $18!  They have kept my credit card information all of this time and have charged me annually!

I had to go into my account and look for a button - ***Cancel Auto-Bill****  I clicked that and now my Subscription details:

Expiration Date: June 19, 2019

Auto-Bill: No

Looks like I was successfully able to turn off the Auto Bill. 

I wanted to file this report to notify other Hallmark eCards subscribers - don't forget to login to your account and Cancel Auto-Bill - or you will indefinitely be charged!!  I feel this is a dishonest tactic and this company is likely making a lot of money off people who do not know  to go in and cancel auto bill on their account.
