I totally agree with you. Not only would it be nice to have more offers that dont require cc's but also if the ones that dont nee cc's could provide a greater incentive and be worth more. Because although your not giving out your cc number, you are giving out your personal info and it still takes time non the less.

I completely agree, I never do the offers that CC's are required for.  I feel like there are not many other offers, so i would love to see more instantly credited free offers!

I know it is not that logical, cause this is a buisness and everyone needs to make money, but...

It is a freaking NIGHTMARE to try and cancel the 'trial' services that require your CC number. Those make me extreamly nervous and I do not trust them. (Been burned before.) And unfortunately, most of the offers on here require that!

It would be awesome to have more offers in your "no CC needed" section.
yeas, I agree. There are way to many scams out there that just can't be trusted.

Some people want the offers that are in here, though, so you can't eliminate all the credit card offers!  I'm not one of them, but what about the people who DO want to do them?  I think they should be made available, but people need to use common sense when signing up for things!!

I have done the cc offers. I cancel during the timeframe and never have a problem. If I do, I know my bank is there to protect me (or VISA rather), Also I use an online cc that I get through my bank. It's shop safe so it can only be used once over the internet. Call your bank. Mine is bank of america and most offer these cards. Gives you peace of mind.

Yeah, I agree. I made a purchase which is something I wanted and got credit for it. The only disadvantage to the free trials is that they automatically put pending into your credit card, and not just the fee they said, but some other extra fees that you might fail to read in the fine print. In the end, if ou do your homework and speak up about your credit card concerns the these offers, it might just be alright.

has anyone had any problems getting out of any "free trails"?
When calling to cancel, be FIRM. Yes it is their job to try and keep you or to keep you on for an extended trial period. Just be firm say NO. Don't ever worry about hurting their feelings. I tell them " I know it's your job to offer me that and to keep me as a customer but, my mind is already made up and I need to cancel" - that's it.
Be diligent about keeping all records of these offers: time,date, through which link, phone #'s, emails, and write yourself a big reminder of the cancel date.

I just obtained a prepaid credit card to use for some of the offers that require cc#.  I don't want to forget to cancel in time.  I had heard there is a $5.00 prepaid card available, but have not been able to find one.  The lowest I could find is $20.00.  I figure if I signup for several offers, it won't take long to max out the card....and then the card won't have any more funds to do any renewal fees.

Does this make sense?  Or am I confused?  Thanks

I agree. I hope this doesn't happen to me. I have not done this until now. If I am burned I will give out my cc number again.

I have been tempted to do a free trial offer or two but was really afraid to use my credit card over one of these sites.  I do have a credit card I use only for the internet (so I can cancel it if anything funky happens.) One of these days I will try one of these offers and see if all goes well.

I totally agree with this!
there needs to be more offers that dont require credit card!

You see, credit card and even social security number requirements are some of the problems a few of the sites giving out offers/jobs have. It's quite frustrating. What's even worse is that I don't have a credit card to use.
