OK, so why do you need my credit card information if the trial is free?

Sharing your credit card information is a big step in any relationship. I mean, we barely know each other and we’re already discussing (gulp) financial transactions. We get it. You have to trust we won’t surprise bill you and we have to trust you aren’t a bot with 100 fake accounts. So, how about this: we promise to only use your credit card information to verify your identity and allow you to cancel anytime during your free trial if…y’know…you need to give us the ol’ ”it’s not you, it’s me” line. Deal?
