If you cancel the membership before two days you never get charged for the trial converting (the "premiere passport")
And that is the part I'm comparing to ALL free trials. Cause that's exactly what that is.
The cross sales weren't the part I was comparing to the water system I bought.  |
it says if you cancel the premier passport your membership to freegayhdwhatever remains active, which is the site they are initially selling.they are being signed up for 2 trials, both of which they have to separately cancel. the premier passport is a cross sale, one which they can't opt out of.
if you are talking about free trials in general, then sure your scenario could apply but it just doesn't fully apply in this case where customers are being sold sites they have never seen before in regard to the cross sells. i have no problem with free trials and get that they are used everywhere but you'd be hard pressed to find such aggressive upsells elsewhere.

edit:ok, so i read your reply above and yeah, it does sound like one of those limited 'nothing' sites. so the surfer thinks hes getting 'lifetime access' to something, which is really nothing. its all just a way to get the surfer signed up for something he thinks is totally free, when its not.
sites like this are just made to sell cross sales really and nothing more. this is obviously how they make the bulk of their money, content has little to nothing to do with it. its all a numbers game.
