[quote name='Lapperscrapper']I have used a credit card for quite a few of the offer websites, like Stamps.com, 123Privacy, Bargain Motors, Efax, and a few others. I have never had to pay anything that I wasn't expecting. I have had to work pretty hard to cancel some stuff, and have been charged before the free trial was over, but was able to argue about it and get it credited back.
These sites do seem a little shady, and if you are really worried about identity theft or getting charged, you might not want to do any. If you do, be sure to read the wesite agreement, it will say when you will get charged, and what you have to do to cancel/get refunded (write down phone #s!).
If you are on the fence, I would use a credit card with good identity theft protection, and one that you can keep an eye on the account online. Citi and Chase cards are known for these things.
Just because I havent had problems doesn't mean that they should be considered completely safe, but I have done some of these years ago, and some last month, and havent had a big problem yet.[/QUOTE]
I have done alot of CC offers. I save every single cancelation confirmation e-mail. They usually come with confirmation codes/numbers. As long as you keep these, you should be good. If you DON'T get one, when you speak to the non-english customer service rep, always ask for a confirmation number of your cancelation. They will almost ALWAYS have one for you. Write it down and save it. I also have a text document on my PC with a list of offers & confirmation codes.
It IS safe to do the CC offers, you just have to know what your doing. Just use common sense really, and don't forget to call to cancel your trials because if you dont you can NOT complain that they charged you.
If anyone needs any gaminglagoon help, or help with CC offers I made a help guide over in my referral thread, you can go check it out (hey, even if you did sign up with the OP, just offering help here!). I also have the help guide in my blog thats in my sig.. so check that out.
Doin this for 2 months now, so I'm more then willing to help anyone out =)
