Internations unethical billing -- has anyone else experienced this?

I signed up for an Albatross membership last year, which I used exactly zero times. I then noticed on my Amex bill, a few days ago, a charge for just under €60 for another year's membership. I wrote a cordial email to Internations explaining that I did not wish to renew, and requesting a refund. They wrote back that they would not issue this refund, since, one year ago, I was notified that the auto-renewal would occur. Zing! Unethical, and businesses are being censored worldwide for this type of devious practice. I've taken it up with my credit card company, but would also like to warn fellow expats / immigrants about this group's dishonesty. There are lots of other groups to join that don't do this -- I highly recommend choosing one of those instead!
