I should be able to go into my bank or card service online. View a list of all my subscriptions. Click on a subscription (or select all). And cancel.

If there is a card that offers this let me know because I'll be switching immediately.

Not gonna lie, I actually have canceled many service because of this single reason. If I get the feeling they want to hide these options specifically to keep me in a subscription, I immediately feel the urge to cancel even more, and also it gives me the feeling that the service itself is obviously, objectively, not good enough that they can just be honest and offer a easy cancel option - because they fear that too many people would.

The issue is that many folks rely on and even manufacture financial illiteracy as part of their "business"

It's extremely easy to give people what they want: a quick way to cancel a subscription. It should be criminal to deliberately hide that action behind phone calls etc.
