With that in mind, you can opt out of using your card's digits. If you do, there will be consequences. The warning pop up box will fill you in. Pay attention & read it carefully. I opted out. And my Roku did not update or preform dependily anymore. I started using a reloadable prepaid Debit card for my Roku account for ID purposes only. My paywall apps are initially signed up directly by me on my laptop (not on the Roku directly), contacted by me through their call centers or email directly, or pay fees/memberships to their accounts also directly.

My apps immediately updated & I experienced no more Role related issues. So I use my special Debit card for all my online activities from now on, not only for Roku identification.

And my own hard won Credit Cards for offline uses only. This works for me.

Note: Roku has some channels that allow users to try for a specified number of days. The moment the free trial days end, Roku converts the channel to a regular subscription, and you will have to pay for it on a recurring basis. You can avoid the payment if you unsubscribe before the end of the trial.
