Paying out webmasters "$30" on a "$3" trial has to be backed up by the surfer spending a lot more than $3. So you are assuming the site is so good he will continue his membership, because the site is too good to cancel or the surfer misses out on the cancellation.

So when he's signing up for the trial does it cleary say he will be billed for the FULL amount if he does not cancel 24 and how much he will be billed? Hiding it in the TOS is not ethical, IMHO.

The thing is, how long will Visa allow these trial memberships, becasue to me they are all based on tricking the surfer and hoping he will not cancel.
I agree 100% and it's the program owners problem, not affiliates. Program A offers $1 trial memberships which you can cancel. If I wanted to promote program A and tell surfers exactly what's offered I'd be terminated without pay? Bah, so why offer the shit in the first place?
