But on November 18, with a few holiday movies of interest, I resubscribed, presuming that by making a second commitment I could cancel whenever. We were good with accepting that requirement, which we met. The ToS states: “A-List has an initial non-cancelable term of three (3) monthly membership periods (the ‘Initial Commitment’)”. We ended our membership about 90 days later. When A-List launched, on June 26, 2018, my wife and I joined.
But the ToS restriction shouldn’t apply to me, being a returning customer.Įverything comes down to the meaning of one word: Initial. He, then she, warned that cancellation would trigger immediate charge for the remaining two months. One, and then another, customer representative informed me that at signup, the terms of service explicitly states that commitment is for three months. Earlier this week, movie theater chain AMC dumped coal in my Christmas stocking when I attempted to cancel the $19.95-a-month, watch-three-movies-a-week Stubs A-List subscription.
