Some companies make it hard to unsubscribe. I think they feel we'll give up since our time is worth more than a $50-100 subscription. They might be right, but it's the principle that makes us stick with it.

Yes. There was another mention of this on our local news about how you might 'think' you cancelled but they keep billing you until eternity. Only thing to do is claim the cards been stolen & get it cancelled.

As someone who pitches free trials (or test drives), I do my best to FULLY inform prospective clients about the services we do (and do not) provide. Transparency is essential to not just retain clients - but to maintain our integrity and unblemished reptuation. #SpeakTheTruth - Tim

Free trials that require a credit card are not really free, they could more accurately be called TRAPS.
I dont participate in them, and I am glad that you got out of this one.

That is why I never surrender my credit card number.
Trials need to be FREE which means no credit card.
Once they get a victim on auto billing they can profitably IGNORE their prey.
And of course the FREE TRIAL need not be connected to resources critical to ones business. Get my point?
I imagine Micky Mouse does a lot of free trials.

Yes, the more difficult you make it, the more likely people are to throw their hands up and keep paying. I'm starting to use disposable credit cards (visa cash cards or Blur privacy cards) for stuff like that. Load it with a couple bucks for their verification and then cancel the card if you don't like the service. They can't bill you and they'll be in touch with you to help you cancel.
