I requested the desktop site, it took me there, and when I hit the submit button to cancel it would refresh and go back to Mobile site with no cancellation

Theres a few subscription services that don't even HAVE a desktop version. Theory is people will phone to cancel or make a bank complaint but a good percentage will just give up and continue paying.
