[pct-l] Warning to SPOT users who don't want to renew

[5418610024 at vzw.blackberry.net]

My bank issues a new card every year (actually I think it's every 11 months)  with new numbers, regardless of when it is supposed to expire. So those sites that think they are going to automatically renew notify me when the old card doesn't go through. 

Works for me.

I have a photo-sharing account with SmugMug, for which I pay a renewal
fee each year.   About a month before the renewal date, they send a
friendly reminder to check/update my credit-card info on-line, in case
the card number has changed.   Since credit cards expire, the number
they have on record may be out of date.

It seems like SPOT LLC could do something similar.   In fact, I wonder
what they do when they try to charge an expired card.  Anyone have that
experience?  Do they THEN send an email?

The SPOT web site and the company seems to be a little less
user-friendly than some.
