Putting any sort of regular subscription onto a credit card is unwise. It grants a "continuous authority" for retailer to keep billing the account. Dying is no excuse and your bank cannot cancel it either. The only way out is to convince the retailer to drop it.
Paypal is much safer, you can go there and zap any subscription.
Update. UK and EU i law changed, a few years after I retired from working for banks. You can now force cancel a CA but many retailers and even bank staff may still claim otherwise.
