    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.

      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?”

      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’
