I mean, paying for Netflix with cash would definitely be a power move.
Utilities don't have special offers that I know of. Check or online is very country dependent though.
I'm having a little trouble thinking of a service that would have automatic reminders but not require an account to access the service... Hotel? Something with layaway? Maybe car payments. Tuition too. Those don't exactly seem like spurious account services though... Maybe the reminders are for pickup?
