spce owners face surprise rate hikes of 500% — here's how to fight back
If you're one of the millions who signed up for a budget-friendly spce plan last year, brace your wallet. Starting next month, thousands of subscribers are reporting sudden bill jumps from $29 a month to over $175. The fine print? An "introductory promotional period" that auto-renews into a premium tier unless you call to cancel within a tiny, easy-to-miss window. Consumer advocates are outraged, calling it a deliberate trap. Your play: check your latest statement for the word “spce” in the terms, then call right now to demand the original rate or threaten to switch to a competitor—many are offering $50 credits just for mentioning the trick. Don’t get burned twice.
