If I have to give you my credit card information, you are not offering me a "free trial." You're offering a bonus week with the purchase of your program, and you should really just say that.
Sure I can allegedly "opt out at any time" but that's asking me to put an immense amount of trust in a stranger who's trying to get my cc info.
And I've been on the internet for far too long to give anyone that kind of benefit of the doubt.
When you offer me a fake free trial that is obviously designed to manipulate me into purchasing your service, I will assume you're doing that because your service isn't actually very good, and if I tried it, I wouldn't want it.
If I press your "free trial button" and it immediately prompts me for my cc info, this is an insult to my honor, and we are enemies now.
