I used to all the time without worries. I'd just get the freebies and cancel on time These days I'm getting awful wary about it though. There are so many underhanded tricks involved. Just got ripped off 40 bucks from ATT when I was sure I cancelled. FML.....

Not really free, but I prepaid 3 months of DirecTV Now for a free ATV4 when that promotion was going. I ended up getting $40 off of the regular price of the Apple TV 4 and essentially picked up 3 months of the streaming service for free.

I don't have DTV Now anymore, but I do still use my Apple TV.

Doing free trials for mlb playoffs.

Hope the championship series wrap up before the weekend, otherwise I gotta use a trial of Vue and Sony likes to ignore requests to cancel.

Also did my trial to watch the Astros. Be careful and read those little agreements, ppl.

Oh did you try for the promotion where you add it on for $5 a month? I guess if you already have AT&T service with unlimited there's some promotion for that deal. I just signed up for it online as a standalone service so this wasn't really tied to AT&T for me.

Basically ripped off. This isn't the first trick that got me either, but it should be the last.

How is you not canceling a rip off though? Its not really a trick. You get a free trial and billing will start automatically if you dont cancel. Most every service that requires a card does that...
