Want to remove your credit card number in eHarmony? (Part 2)

UPDATE: The site system won’t let customers change credit card numbers in the middle of “3 part payment” subscriptions. Here are options and strategies.

Yesterday’s news item is a cause of fear and I had to do something to remove my credit card number from eHarmony’s servers — at least their main servers.

Of course my card number is already in eH’s computer data backups somewhere since the number has been there for seven weeks. There’s little I can do to remove my number from those backups.

I realised that the only way for the Account Settings screen to remove my number is if I replace it with another credit card number. So, I need a dead yet valid card number.

I searched the web and found this list on Graham King’s website:

Mastercard

5444074816731135
5513884568718262

VISA 16 digit

4929373628567514
4024007165383497

American Express

341415794734812
371200375462600

Discover

6011414731974520
6011179482312473

See other numbers in Graham King’s site.

Feel free to replace your number with these dead yet valid numbers. The stupid Account Settings page doesn’t check whether two or two million people gave the same card number. Hmph, I even set it to renew automatically — thus giving me brownie points when Customer Service sees it. Ha! I foiled your plans, Dr. Warren!

    Ok so I was involved in an incident couple days ago and a guy stole my purse. Needless to mention that my wallet was inside with my debit card. I called my bank to cancel my card and recieve another one. EHarmony still has my former debit card number, therefore they cannot charge me the remaining two months from the three month plan.
    I know it may be odd but if you call your bank to cancel your card and recieve a new one (usually within 5days) you will save the money EHarmony was about to get from you.
    Of course this advice is for those who are desperate in finding ways to cancel their subscription, and who are not confortable lying/do not want to deal with Customer Rep on the phone. Might not be the best advice of the site but it might help some of you (as long as your card is not attached to other monthly obligations you have with other companies)

    Sorry, Stephanie, eHarmony (and other companies) still can.

    Thank you! So much for helping me to get rid of my credit card details off the (at least log in pages) of the E Harmony Website. What a nightmare. I left so many emails for these people and no response. I have been asking to have my profile removed off the site for weeks… E Harmony is clearly dodgy as!
    Thanks
