i miss the days when cancelling a subscription would just stop it charging you but you keep the service until you would have to pay

    This is usually how FREE TRIALS work, though, and always has been.

      No it hasn’t. Cancelling pretty much always lets you continue until you were due to be billed.

        Plus the fact that if you forget to cancel you can contact them to refund. (If they are nice)

        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.

          You’re just wrong. I always cancel my subscription the second I start my free trials so I don’t forget later.

            I haven’t done a ton of free trials, but the maybe 5 I have, this is how I did it.

      Not when you have to put a credit card number on file. In my experience those trials almost always stay active until time has expired.

      This whole thread is full of Apple apologists.

        Agree.

        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.

      The idea is to make you keep it for as long as possible until you hit the first pay cycle.
