i miss the days when cancelling a subscription would just stop it charging you but you keep the service until you would have to pay
This is usually how FREE TRIALS work, though, and always has been.
No it hasn’t. Cancelling pretty much always lets you continue until you were due to be billed.
Not on free trials….as was said. It is typical if you actually already paid for a month and then cancel to have your subscription active till the end of the cycle.
You could not be more wrong if you tried.
You’re just wrong. I always cancel my subscription the second I start my free trials so I don’t forget later.
Not when you have to put a credit card number on file. In my experience those trials almost always stay active until time has expired.
This whole thread is full of Apple apologists.
I think this is apple being particularly shitty because most services don’t do that.
in fact, apple forces other services to not do that but have double standards for themselves
“Free trial”
That is how they work though 🙄
I just canceled my Apple TV and I have access to it until the next billing cycle starts. But you have to actually have a billing cycle in order to have service up until the next one…
I cancelled a service I was getting for free, and they stopped providing the service 😭
Yeah literally what is this post lol.
Who would have thought that cancelling something cancels it? Incredible find, mate.
the idea was to sign up for the free trial, then cancel right away so that you don’t forget to cancel at the end of the trial. previously, in most cases, the trial would run it’s course and you could access it for the duration. Since companies rely on people forgetting to cancel (it’s the only reason anyone even has an apple TV subcription), they’re trying to make this simple life hack more difficult.
So many idiots use apple.
