Is Free Trial Really FREE?
Most online dating websites and apps say or offer that they have free membership, some also offer free trial but require you to provide a valid credit card. Why do you need to provide a credit card if it’s free? We explained it below.
How Does Free Trial Dating Sites and Apps Work?
Free Trial offer sample:
Not only online dating sites use this marketing method but all other online services offer free trial like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify etc. From the word itself “Free” you can use it for free, “Trial” you will only be able to “try” it but not for unlimited time.
Free trial means you can use the dating website for the first few days or weeks, after the certain period of time (7 days, 14 days, 30 days) specified by the dating site your card will then be charged. However some dating sites allow you to cancel your account or subscription before the trial ends and so you won’t be charged for the certain membership fee.
We would like to emphasize though that every dating website has their own terms when it comes to membership trials, you should always read the offer terms carefully to avoid unnecessary charges.
