    I will subscribe and then unsubscribe right after. You can still watch for the month and then don’t have to worry about canceling before the month is up.

      And even better, some companies that offer subscriptions will send you a discount deal if you activate the trial sub and go a few days without upgrading.

        i only do the prepaid cards. i won’t ever give a bank account or card number to a streamer… means no ‘trials’, but also a bit more security and privacy. no definitive identification ‘on file’ for them to match with other databases, and no personal/payment info to get stolen in a ‘security breach’

        To be specific, got half off my annual grocery delivery this way. I’ve also read that it works for some TV subs.

        Another fun tip: Some companies have their chatbots programmed to offer additional deals for items already onsale, so next time you’re going to make a big purchase, be it a mattress, computer, or whatever, just open the chatbot and say: “Hello, I’m interested in x item. Are there any additional deals or sales going on?”
