Here's a thought...
« on: February 03, 2009, 08:10:45 pm »
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.

yeah...i usually steer clear of those offers too, bc i'm scared that either i'll forget to cancel on time, or  the cancellation will not go all the way through. i'm sure FC posts all the "no CC needed" offers they get. it'd be nice to have more available though.

The Columbia House deal aint too bad if you buy the 5 dvds for like $12 but in the year you need to buy 5 $20 movies from them for it to work.

But I agree, I steer clear from these but it's probably how FC makes it's money.

If I peruse through their terms and conditions and stay on top of schedule, then the "free trials" are easy to deal with.

I usually just stay organized with these. For some it can be a hassle but I have a clipboard full of paper and keep track of all the offers, URL, trial period, and phone number.  This way I don't have to rummage through my scrambled brain to rely on my memory.

These trials shouldnt be a problem if you read the terms and conditions very carefully before signing up. From my experience most of them tell you exactly how many days you have to cancel and what phone number or email to contact to cancel. What I do is keep a list of all the trials i sign up for on my desktop in a notepad file or whatever and list in the file exactly how to cancel and what date i need to do it by. Then just erase it off the file when its cancelled.

This keeps everything nice and organized and I have yet to run into any problems with being charged for anything.

You should only do offers that your interested in. Don`t do an offer just to later turn around and cancel. See for me when i do an offer its because i am interested in the product or service.

Completely agreed. But here's a thought for the trial offer ones: use a prepaid credit card gift card.
