Many sites have additional subscriptions that a customer must decline and cancel off before completing their purchase , it's a shady practice , for that I removed BB from my rotation of sites

A similar thing happened to me when I subscribed to Devils Film through a platform that included Roccosiffredi.com and some other website I don't remember.
What I plan from now on is, next time I subscribe to a new site, I'll do it with a prepaid card. I've never used one of those, but I like the idea of getting a card with a limited amount of money that is not directly linked to your account and you can use just once. That's the best way to deal with potential scammers and, unfortunately, it's not the first time we hear of shady practices in porn related websites. So yeah, that's my plan.

It's not as common as it used to be but cross-sales still exist on join pages. The more honest sites have the cross-sale button but it requires that the user activate it so if you aren't paying attention than you won't wind up with a membership to a site that you didn't want and at a price that you really didn't want.
What Bangbos does is a lot worse and quite insidious because if you join their main site and then decide to click on one of their many links to see what the site it's connected to looks like. You may wind up with a membership to that site even though you didn't actually want to join. In return cancelling the main membership will not also cancel the other memberships. The only good news I can see is that it appears that Epoch is their CC processor and they are the best CC processor on the net.
Not that it will help you with your situation but don't feel bad that you got taken for a sucker by BB because this has been a recurring issue for a couple of years now and plenty of other people are in the same boat as you. I recommend that in future you first visit porn review sites like The Best Porn, Porn User or Rabbits review prior to joining any site. If you had done that prior to joining BB than you would have seen that they are known for being somewhat dishonest when it comes to cross-selling. The other major advantage is that you can often get amazing deals on memberships.

Unfortunately Bang Bros is known for it's shady billing practices. That can happen when you join, when you're already a member at their main site or even by clicking on an email. I've been signed up for unwanted sites by merely clicking on a link on their main page. It's deceiving because it looks like a link to a scene you may have access to but by clicking it you've joined and there is a charge on your card. Do you just want to check out an additional site to see if you might be interested in it? Be careful because doing so will likely see you a member whether you want to be or not. I had an email from them offering a membership at a new site and it looked interesting so I clicked the link and they charged the credit card they have on file.
I like the porn that BB produces and would join again in a heartbeat if they weren't so shady. I friend of mine joined back in the fall and had to go so far as to cancel his credit card because there was no easy way to cancel the recurring charges.
I have no idea why the people that run BB think that fucking over your customers again and again is a good business model. I think they could be more successful by treating their customers fairly. Both me and my friend who got burned by them are two people who will never join again.
I wish you luck with your membership. Treat the main site like a minefield and be careful where you click.

Porn sites pull stunts like this and then wonder why so few people are willing to pay for porn. Hopefully you won't get burned again.

1st rule of thumb-ALWAYS pay for sites like these with a pre-paid card, no exceptions! You're just asking for trouble if you don't.

^You do realise that the only way your method will work is if your pre-paid card has only enough money on it to cover a single 20$-30$ membership. Otherwise you will be in the same boat as anybody else using a regular credit card.

What I do is use a virtual credit card. My citibank account allows me to generate a card with an account number that has is valid for a fixed dollar amount. The virtual card number can be used by only one merchant - so no addon charges. Very secure and removes concerns about fraud.

There are Countries that allow recharghable prepaid cards , they only pay if there's money otherwise they refuse payments , all of them , such fishy behaviour won't work , you just leave the card empty and buy another one. You just need to put money in every month.
Some of them or even some cards would only allow a payment thus any new subscription only when you authorize it through a special random number they send to your cellphone , you have to digit it in 5 to ten minutes or they assume it's not you making the payment and refuse to pay.
Or as said a virtual card , if you say it has to pay $ 30,00 it will only pay such amount , if they add some fishy subscriptions the card won't pay and they will lose even the first one

^&^^Thanks for clarifying that but ultimately the best solution is not to get a pre-paid credit card but simply not to join these dishonest sites. For all of you smart people buying these pre-paid cards. There are countless more of don't and who will fall prey to their bad business practice and that's why I think you black list sites like BB so that it hits them where it hurts the most...Their pocketbook.

I use those cards as an added precaution, but of course my first line of defense is to not join at all those sites
