Avoid Automatic Trade Ideas Renewals With DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card

While Trade Ideas does not offer a , many types of businesses do. In order to sign up for a free trial, though, many companies require personal credit card information. They do this because, when the free trial ends, the companies automatically convert the free trial to a paid subscription.

It is an unfortunate practice because many consumers forget to cancel the automatic renewal before the expiration of their free trial. That often results in them stuck with a service they do not want or need. It means that the free trial wasn't really free.

For those businesses that require a credit card in order to obtain the free trial of a product or service, DoNotPay created a free Virtual Credit Card. This is how this amazing feature works:

  1. DoNotPay's Virtual Credit Card feature generates a random number with accompanying credit card information.
  2. Consumers use this Virtual Credit Card to subscribe to any service.
  3. Once the free trial expires, the service cannot charge the consumer for an upgraded subscription because no money relates to the Virtual Credit Card number.
  4. The business then unsubscribes the account automatically.
