How to Avoid Getting Charged After an iStock Free Trial Ends

iStock is an online store for creative royalty-free stock content, such as photographs, drawings, vectors, films, and audio tracks, for a reasonable price. A 30-day free trial is available for iStock customers.

iStock free trial subscriptions can be:

• Good, in the sense that you are allowed to test a service for some time to determine whether or not you require it; and
• Bad, in the sense that when you sign up for a free trial, you are expected to cancel the subscription before the expiration date lest you suffer severe repercussions. If you don't terminate your membership before the trial ends, your credit card may be charged due to an auto-renewed subscription.

DoNotPay offers a free virtual credit which you can use to sign up for a free trial and never have to bother about charges being deducted from your credit card.

How to Register for iStock Free Trial

iStock is available on the App Store and Google Play. To access the free trial:

1. Visit the registration page.
2. Fill in the required fields, such as name and email address.
3. Create a password and verify your email address.

This will give you access to a 30-day free trial.

Does the iStock Free Trial Automatically Renew Into a Paid Subscription?

After a free trial, iStock automatically renews as a paid membership. You may cancel your membership account by calling iStock Customer Care at 866-478-6251.

If you forgot to terminate your free trial membership, you can seek a refund within 14 days of the trial expiry.

Avoid Automatic Renewal With DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card

Thanks to DoNotPay virtual credit cards, you no longer have to worry about unanticipated charges on your credit card accounts.

A virtual credit card assures that the trial is actually free by eradicating the potential of being charged. Since DoNotPay free virtual credit cards are not loaded, your free trial will automatically get canceled. Moreover, it is not connected to your personal banking information.
