So I sign up and cancel courses whenever they have free trials to check them out. You can get around this pattern because they categorize the 'reason' you have to give them when you cancel. If it's an objectionable reason they take you to an agent, if it's a financial reason they sometimes offer you a discount to stay on (50% off per month) or you can cancel, and if it's a non-objectionable reason like the course content not being what you want they let you cancel straight away. Edit: I use virtual cards to sign up under gmail+udacity1@gmail.com addresses to try multiple courses at a time so I have cancelled a lot.
