An “Insightful Drive” charge on your credit or debit card statement is a recurring subscription billing from Insightful Traits, LLC. To stop it, email the merchant to cancel and request a refund; if that doesn’t work, dispute the charge in writing with your card issuer within 60 days of the statement date.
Where the Charge Comes From
“Insightful Drive” is a merchant descriptor tied to Insightful Traits, LLC, a company registered in San Juan, Puerto Rico that runs insightfultraits.com. The company’s own terms say charges will appear as “Insightful Traits,” but card networks sometimes truncate or alter the name when it reaches your statement, which is how variants like “Insightful Drive” show up.1Insightful Traits. Terms and Conditions
The billing follows a negative-option model. After an initial order, customers who do not cancel within 14 days are charged up to $29.95, and the charge then recurs every 28 days.1Insightful Traits.
