Not on free trials….as was said. It is typical if you actually already paid for a month and then cancel to have your subscription active till the end of the cycle.
I generally enjoy Apple's products, I'm very happy with the stuff I have at least. Corporations and companies aren't friends, and they don't deserve to be treated as such just because they make a product you enjoy.
This kind of practise is bullshit through and through. Hell I think signing me up for a subscription as part of having a free trial is BS. I should be able to have a free trial for however long that trial period is, and then get to decide whether or not I want a full subscription. Rescinding the trial because I don't want to subscribe is garbage.
I just canceled my Apple TV and I have access to it until the next billing cycle starts. But you have to actually have a billing cycle in order to have service up until the next one...
Pretty sure I saw it somewhere else as well. Don't remember where, but I think there was option to cancel subscription and cancell reccuring payment. Pretty sure this is so they can silently take awau the more fair option later.
I miss when Amazon prime would refund you the remainder of the month when you cancelled.... I have no interest in being a prime member and actively avoid buying anything from Amazon. But sometimes I need something I can't find locally ASAP and giving them a quarter or two to have prime for a day was a solid option.
Paying $15 a month for "free" shipping which is also included in the price point of the products sounds like a stupid practice too. Lots of people doing it though.
But, if you spend your credits on the audiobooks you want, you don't have to lose any. I did not lose the books in my library after using them and canceling my subscription and they still exist
Yeah this conversation made me just go “fuck it” and I impulse used the ten credits I have on a bunch of books so now I don’t have standing credits anymore. It’s better this way lol
Not sure what the distinguishing line is anymore, I thought it was Free Trials but I just canceled my TV+ free trial and it’s still active through the full period. (a couple days)
Or revolut, oxygen and any other bank that provides virtual/burner cards. Everyone should be using virtual or burners with any subscription service, not only does it protect you from a leak, it also let's you set a max amount and when the price goes up you won't pay it without approving it and increasing your max tx amount.
And also if you stop paying for 3 months, they completely delete your library. I switched to try Spotify, and when I returned, all my collections from iTunes of 10 years ago are gone forever.
Not this time, it's completely expected that if you cancel a free trial that you're not interested and don't want it. It is not at all the same as cancelling a subscription that will ride out until the end of the period.
I don't want to check this one but if you need a card on file to get your free subscription like basically everywhere else then this is an attempt to let you forget about the service and charge you at least once. Amazon prime's free trial might require 50 fucking clicks to cancel but it will at least ride out the month.
If you're automatically charged when the free trial ends then you should absolutely be allowed to cancel a free trial so that you're not charged and keep using it until the last day it was offered to you.
the idea was to sign up for the free trial, then cancel right away so that you don’t forget to cancel at the end of the trial. previously, in most cases, the trial would run it’s course and you could access it for the duration. Since companies rely on people forgetting to cancel (it’s the only reason anyone even has an apple TV subcription), they’re trying to make this simple life hack more difficult.
