I agree with you--the same works for Paypal and any group membership that will bill you each month and the hassle to cancel a membership. The same goes for anything that only wants you to pay for postage but supposedly the item is free. They will continue to send the item and bill you for it.

There is zero reason that they need to have that information for a free trial, they're just hoping they can get away with charging you for at least a month or two. I don't trust companies that set things up that way.
