The Subscription Trap
A Consumer's Survival Guide
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The Subscription Trap is a practical, eye-opening guide that helps consumers escape the confusing and costly world of subscription-based services. Filled with real-world examples and clear explanations, this book reveals the sneaky tactics companies use to keep people paying, hidden cancellation buttons, endless loops, friction-filled pages, and “free trials” designed to quietly turn into long-term charges.
Consumer-protection advocate, Wendy teaches readers how to identify these traps, audit their subscriptions, cancel unwanted services with confidence, and make smarter decisions before clicking "Start Trial." The book includes step-by-step strategies, checklists, and tools that empower readers to take control of their digital spending.
Every purchase includes free access to Subscription Watch (tm), a companion app that helps track subscriptions, rate cancellation friction, and hold companies accountable.
Clear, actionable, and deeply relevant, The Subscription Trap is the essential guide for anyone who wants to save money, reduce digital clutter, and navigate the modern marketplace with confidence.
