Which is basically an admission that they’d like to charge you past the point of cancelation.

Well… Yeah. Otherwise they wouldn’t ask me for a credit card for a free trial of a service. It’s always been obvious that that’s their aim, refusing a single use credit card isn’t some big “gotcha” moment here. Free trials only exist anymore in order to steal money at the end of the trial period, counting on the user forgetting to cancel. This is a known quantity.

You could argue that the credit card could be used to prevent opening a new account as soon as the trial expires.

This is bullshit, but that’s what I would say if i needed to defend douchebag business practices.

That and they don’t want to spend money on someone who has no ability to pay in the first place.
