I wasted some more time today talking to AOL “support” only to completely give up and tell AOL to just cancel my account.

Pathetic.

Good riddance AOL.

I used to love AOL. But when I wanted to move and cancel my service they really made it a pain for me. I am glad they offer it free to landline now and now their email is free too. They were charging me about 4.95 per month for this for quite sometime. I think AOL should have gone a different route. I dont see how they even stay in business. I used to love AOL.

Change the last four didgits on your credit card. Then cancel. No need to worry about extra charges. One thing I like to do just before canceling any account.

I lived this nightmare. It took me a year to cancel my AOL. I too cancelled my credit card because they would stop billing it after MANY phone calls, letters and even certified letters. Even that wasn't enough I still got a bill threatening collection after I cancelled my Visa and ended up paying another $99 after the year that I paid for that I didn't use. If you haven't given them your credit card nimber already, DON'T DO IT!!! I didn’t listen to the call, but then again I didn’t have to. I lived this nightmare. It took me a year to cancel my AOL.
