Bruhh , in end your free trial

Do they not honor the rest of free trial? I normally cancel immediately after signing up and they still give me the remaining free trial. Never had a service not do this for me. This is in the US by the way.

Me reading that: cancels immediately, never returns.

I remember living in a world where i was shocked when companies started asking for credit card details when activating a free trial.

I’m signing up for a free trial. I shouldn’t need to even give you my name. Just put a 30-day limit on the key i activate the software with. If i want to buy it, then i can decide that during the trial.

The fact that we are at a point where the anger is directed to the part AFTER i have given all my details and credit card info is so painful to see.

I remember being shocked when I saw for the first time a default subscription method was “recurring unless cancelled”. It seemed mad at the time lol…

ThoranTW , in eBay makes you wait a week to rate a sale as anything other than positive.

Still better than sellers only being able to leave positive feedback

it is not a free trial if you dont risk getting billed for the first month

Audacious ,

Also not a free trial if you have to give them your credit information beforehand. That’s the red flag that prevents me from proceeding with free trials.

Cows? NO!

Coconuts? YES!

Hydrogen? Maybe.

OK Google: how to use proper grammar for a question?

Setup eBill instead.

Take a photo of the QR code with your smartphone, or display the QR code on your phone, and scan the screen with your webcam. Problem solved.

that’s a workaround, not a solution

@th3dogcow@lemmy.world avatar

OPs bank has provided the solution. For whatever reason, they’re choosing not to use it. I think they’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

they only claimed it was mildly infuriating

@th3dogcow@lemmy.world avatar

That’s totally true. I do see where they have posted. I personally disagree that it is mildly infuriating though. We’re all allowed our own opinions. If I was working in tech support and had the OP call up, their actions would come across as mildly infuriating.

I just checked and UBS online banking does allow uploading of a screenshot. No need to use the webcam. So that’s a problem specific to your bank.

You could use OBS to setup a virtual webcam, which would then show your receipts.

anywho , in Modern online banking

Buy a regular standalone USB webcam, and point it at the computer screen with the code in some corner.

No printing required.

Accept that you will require some workaround since you do not wish to install the QR app.

Send them a feature request. Honestly. I don't think those annoyances will become less, unless enough people complain.

Switzerland tends to be the best for privacy and autonomy.
