Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostI don't think that's quite the case, or at least, shouldn't be.
I signed up for the free trial [by accident] and immediately checked my settings.
The 'Payment History' bit showed the date my card would be debited [after the free month], but I forgot to cancel it.
Amazon are very big on their customer service and wary of bad publicity so if they made a mistake contact them. However if you made a mistake suck it up.

Originally posted by I just need to test it View PostIn my case I signed up to what I understood to be a thirty day free trial. I set up a reminder to cancel before the thirty days expired.
My account got debited immediately I signed up.
When I attempted to cancel amazon said, in a nutshell, "you can cancel but you are not due a refund. Or you can stick around for the rest of the year. Your call, dimwit".
Presumably ( because I can't be arsed to investigate further) I had signed up for 365 days of Amazon Prime at £79 plus a free thirty days.

Well maybe there was something in the T&Cs about it only bring free for the first time (this was my second). I dunno.
I'm not meaning to whine about it. Honest.

Didn't VistaPrint have some similar scam? Basically the offer of a 'free' £10 voucher off your next order but the small print signed you up for some other £10/month rubbish.

Enquiring minds wish to know.
Ben: Oh, what you will have done is, when it flashed up on your screen, ‘Do you want to watch Bangkok Chick-boys?’ you must have pressed the button that said ‘yes’.
Alan: Yeah, well, as I say, it’s very confusing.

Originally posted by I just need to test it View PostIn fact it's such a good deal my daughter (who lives in the same house) has blown 79 quid on it too. Darn it.
Amazon (AMZN) announced the annual membership will now cost $99 a year, up from $79. A student membership will cost $49 annually.

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostPlus contract terms are not legally binding if they're plain illegal, as for example giving away your first born.
I could think of a few parents who wouldn't mind, cost of education and all that...Last edited by Sysman; 30 September 2014, 17:43.
