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
It’s a free trial; you haven’t paid for any period of time.
I have “Apple One”, and under the “Cancel All Services” button, it says if I cancel now, they will remain active until the end of the current subscription period.

Your subscription still continues through the full period you’ve paid for.
Otherwise you’re owed a refund of what you paid, which looks like $0.
It’s a promo, take it or don’t.

The whole point of a free trial is to try the services without paying. If you sign up for a free trial, which these days requires a credit card, but are forced to continue the “subscription” until it ends, you could end up forgetting to cancel at the right time and end up being charged. No matter how you spin it, this is no good for the consumer and only helps corporate.

There would be no free trials offered if there was no chance of continuing as paid.
Do you want to ban free trials to protect the forgetful?

Kinda missing the point, but thanks for the unsolicited lecture on corporate policies.

Don’t play games with companies and then complain they’re playing games.
