It's not about that. I'm the CEO. I'm sure it's somewhat my mistake because they wouldn't risk lawsuits for shady tactics. Probably a 0.8px text in gray somewhere on that page saying I'll get charged yearly and not monthly.
- praulv 9y agoDoesn't matter. I recently got suckered into their free premium trial as well which then resulted in monthly charges. I complained quite vocally about their tactics and got it refunded straight away. It is worth a shot. At the very least be willing to pay a minimum of a month's fees.

- delinka 9y ago"...they wouldn't risk lawsuits for shady tactics." This sounds like you don't do business often (with US corporations?) They're hoping more people like you just let it ride. That's how they're making money. Hit them where it hurts - have the bank perform a chargeback. Enough of that happens, and their rates to accept credit cards goes up.
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoI completely agree. This is their core business: they know very well what to do so that people don't cancel (keep quiet, not send a reminder), they know equally well the percentage of people who will get mad, they know how small the group is, and that the net benefit is well worth it. I don't think one chargeback changes anything, but if people are more aware (not just in case of LinkedIn, but in general), this could make this shady business strategy less profitable.
