Will Apple Automatically Convert Your Free Trial to a Paid Subscription?
If you don't cancel your subscription to Apple Fitness+ before the free trial period ends, Apple will sign you up for a paid subscription and continue billing you monthly. If this happens, contacting customer service to get a refund will be difficult, so it's important to cancel your subscription promptly. To do this:
- Go to the setting app on your iPhone.
- Select your name.
- Select subscriptions.
- Choose the subscription you'd like to cancel.
- Tap the red "cancel subscription" button.
If you cancel in the middle of a billing cycle, you'll keep access to your subscription until your next billing date. This date will be listed on the cancellation screen.
How Can I Get Free Trial and Avoid Getting Charged on My Own?
It is easier to forget to cancel your free trial and end up paying for a subscription service you don't enjoy. Here are a few ways you can cancel a free trial and avoid getting charged:
| Cancel payment once you sign up for the free trial. | If you cancel a free trial after signing up, you will still use it for the entire trial period without getting charged. It is one of the best and easiest ways to ensure you don't get billed.
However, remember that not all free trials operate in the same manner. Some services will stop your trial immediately you unsubscribe, e.g., Hulu and Apple Music. |
| Set a reminder a few days before your trial period ends. | Don't wait until your free trial ends to cancel your subscription. That's because you may take forever to find instructions on how to unsubscribe, and this could push you past your deadline.
Another reason why you shouldn't wait till the last minute is that most services will still charge you if you cancel less than 24 hrs before your free trial period ends. |
| Go virtual. | If you signed up with a free virtual credit card and forgot to cancel your subscription before your trial period ended, you can never get charged.
DoNotPay’s Virtual Credit Card works by generating temporary credit cards that expire when you please. Some advantages of virtual credit cards include:
|
| Speak with Customer Support. | Do not disregard how powerful personal appeal can be. If you thought you canceled your subscription before your free trial ended or your request was unsuccessful, you can contact Customer Support to help you out. Just ensure you remain humble and courteous in your request. |
Use DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card to Prevent Automatic Renewal Charges
Signing up for a free trial always feels like a good deal, but it's easy to forget to cancel at the end of the free month and end up paying for a service you didn't want. DoNotPay's virtual credit cards allow you to avoid this problem by avoiding giving companies your credit card information. With the virtual credit card product, DoNotPay will generate random card details so you'll be able to sign up for the service. If the company tries to bill you, the payment won't go through because there's no actual credit card involved. Since you're only using this card information as a placeholder for free trials, this is safe.
