Chargeback
Only if you plan to never do business with them ever again. I did that for a ps4 game on the PlayStation store that didn't work with no refunds, and Sony locked down my account until I paid them that money. Pretty sure they warned that next time they won't be so nice. Pretty fucked up.
Just about everywhere does that. People love throwing around the charge back option on the internet but it often fucked you over. Some companies use 3rd party payment processors so it can not only ban you from the company you charged back but also anything else using that processor.

I use privacy.com, free service, let's you create a virtual card for each subscription, then pause or cancel a card.
This way if I cancel Netflix I can also pause the card, if they try and bill be it'd be processed as a failed transaction.
Free teir only let's you make 6 cards / month but after a couple months you should be able to get everything moved over.
(Also cards are locked to the vendor so if the card gets compromised it can't be used anywhere else)
