I understand that a valid CC is a good gatekeeper from spammy accounts, but you're right. It is frustrating. I usually avoid those services unless they offer something no other competitor comes close to.

Here's the funny thing: thinking about it, I'm way more inclined to accept "30-days Full Refund no questions asked" than "Free trial but give me your card", even though the former is objectively more troublesome for all parties.
