Des Moines, Iowa (RI) — Iowans who sign up for a free trial of a streaming video service or an online video game may not realize that once the trial ends, they’ll be charged for that product every month — and those fees can quickly add up. Lisa Schiller, spokeswoman for the Better Business Bureau, says Iowans should be wary when a “free” trial requires you to pay something up front.
Some trials may last six months but others may run for just a matter of days before you’ll start incurring charges.
Be sure to read the fine print when you sign up for any sort of trial, and she suggests marking down the date when you need to cancel that trial before you have to pay.
