A standard perk of credit cards is you can end recurring payments. Just file a dispute on the last charge and indicate you want to end the recurring charge. Sometimes the merchant is able to reverse the dispute, but most often times decisions go in consumer's favor (particularly when you provide proof that you took reasonable steps to try to cancel before disputing).
