    I got an email from OnStar the other day saying it contacted my bank and updated my card info because I had gotten an old card and hadn’t updated the info, I don’t pay for OnStar but the dealership MAKES you set it up even if you don’t use it.

    How the fuck are they allowed to contact my bank and get information like that? Weirded my TF out to say the least.

      They did that to me. I specifically gave them a card I knew was going to expire before the trial period was over and they got the new information anyway.

      If I remember correctly, it’s a “feature” the credit card companies have so your subscriptions don’t lapse.
