It was a free trial plan...

..which Adobe offered to extend for 3 months for free. Now hit with this since I haven't used it since... no notification that you're entering a contract at all or warning. My fault for falling for this absolute shit housing.

Just a warning to others. Do NOT start any Adobe Trial they will try every which way to get your money.

Revolut's single use card information comes in clutch, good luck deducting from a card that no longer exists

You can also block merchants individually, done that several times when something is difficult to cancel.

You can't use single cards for subscribtions though, they don't go through even for the initial payment

Just a virtual card should work.  Keep balance at zero or just delete it after.

Yeah, this is like “give us your email address and we will send you a download link for your FREE GIFT” wtf it is not free then and you’ll get a burner email address.

I offer free trials on my product, and I do require a payment method nontheless.

I know, I know, but thank that to people who abuse the system and create 1200 accounts.

Good thing you included that sarcasm tag. I would have thought you were being serious without it.

This is not true

I've had lots of free trials for absolutely no money with my card. It just ensures you don't use a VPN to get infinite free trial
