TV Subscriptions

I guess that quite a few of us have tv subscriptions for netflix, Amazon,apple, Disney etc but do you have these coming out if your credit cards and you aren’t realising how much you are paying?

I decided to go with a post office credit card (costs $7.50) where you put in how much you need to pay each month on subscriptions, example I pay $22 each month for Netflix and I have to make sure that is available and if I need something from purchases on line I put that in as well.

This means I don’t have to use my bank credit card and so I know how much I have to pay every month, so the question is…. how much are you paying? Are you getting copped with bank charges which you have to pay?

Just an idea from yours truely and so check your bank charges and I hope I have helped you to save a few dollars!

:cool:
 
I pay all my bills by direct debit, I check my bank account each morning to see what has come in and what has gone out, then I record each transaction in an exercise book which I keep each year.
Same here, I always know exactly how much money I have and all my bills are always paid on time by direct debit.
I don't use a credit card so never incur any bank charges.

I don't waste my money on any of the TV streaming services. There's plenty to watch everywhere for free.
However, I've got a VPN to watch English programmes.
Anything else I've got to pay for monthly, mainly bills, are on direct debit straight from my bank. Do people have bank charges?

How do you go about getting a VPN? I was thinking of subscribing to Britbox because i enjoy English programmes, would this save me another subscription?
