What makes me feel frustrated is how even when your card expires, all merchants can still keep charging your card even though you didn't provide the new expiration date/info.

It's really great for merchants to keep charging I guess, and I'll admit it's annoying to have to put your card in every place when it expires, but it seemed to protect everyone against subscriptions building up indefinitely forever... am I wrong?

Nope, you're totally not wrong at all. There is a way to use a virtual card every time you want to subscribe to something and forget about it. Another way is to use something like my subscription tracker to track them.

There are many ways to solve this, and everyone has their own preferences. And I hope everyone doesn't get their card charged unexpectedly.
