Quick tip of the day

Many people make the mistake of signing up for the free month trial period for streaming services, then forget to cancel before their cards get charged.

Some even forget to cancel the subscription for months until they look at their bank statement and realize they’ve been paying for a service they never use. Kinda like that gym membership we had to have at the start of the new year.

But with streaming services, you can cancel immediately after you sign up and still watch through the free trial period. We recommend doing this so you don’t forget and get stuck with unexpected bills.
