What happens if you cancel GameFly with a game out?

I made a gamefly free trial and rented a game. I'm going to cancel after the free trial is done because I can't afford the service at the moment.

My debit card I used to make the account (required) expired the day after account creation. However, the checking account it was for is still active.

Would I be safe in keeping the game and just saying it was lost in the mail or something similar?

Edit: Might be worth mentioning I have already activated the new debit card for my account (which has the same numbers, but different exp. date and CVC.)

The answer to this question is, unfortunately, negative. Even GameFly’s support page advises to wait until your current billing period is about to end, so you can use the service to the maximum. If you cancel, say, in the middle of the billing cycle, the cancelation will be effective immediately, and no refunds or compensations will be issued. 

Can You Put Your GameFly Subscription on Hold?

GameFly doesn’t offer pauses of any kind as a viable option for its users. They offer two suggestions for situations when you might consider putting subscriptions on hold:

  • Vacations and long-term absences—You can always cancel your subscription and restart it once you come back with the same login information
  • Moving—You should change your shipping address or take any existing rentals with you to your new place and then update your location info on your account

Problems You May Encounter With Canceling GameFly Subscriptions

If you cancel your subscription with GameFly while you still have some rentals in your possession, you will need to return them as soon as possible. The rentals have to be received by GameFly within seven days from your cancelation. GameFly customer support will confirm by email the receipt of each rental. 

In case you fail to send back the rentals, GameFly will charge a replacement fee equal to a current retail price or replacement price, whichever is higher at the moment.

GameFly offers a 30-day free trial period, after which your provided form of payment gets charged $15.95 per month. This plan includes one game or movie out at a time. You can also opt for their discounted paid plans for new users:
