Aren't there some credit cards that can create virtual numbers?
Just give them a virtual number and then disable it right after registering. Then have your free trial, and only if you decide to actually subscribe, change it to a credit card number that is active.
Businesses should not be unscrupulously trying to make money off people who forgot about the product during their free trial.
- derwiki 5y agoI use Privacy.com to make virtual cards for this purpose.
- rootusrootus 5y agoDoes privacy.com still require a debit card? That was what put me off the last time I investigated their service.

- ac29 5y agoYes, their business model is charging merchants at credit card rates (~3%), and billing you at debit card rates (~0.1%).
