How to sign up for free trials of AI without ever giving out your credit card details
Get Wise to managing software subscriptions with a virtual card
I stay up-to-date with all the latest AI platforms coming out with content creation tools. There are so many options now! So whenever I can, I take advantage of free trials. But that means the old credit card has a workout:
If you’re anything like me, you get busy and forget to cancel after 7-days. Sometimes I feel reluctant handing out my credit card details to every AI product on the planet. And once or twice, I’ve done everything right but still had to contact the company to get them to refund an overpayment.
Thankfully, I found a solution to all that stress. Now I use a virtual card.
Wise is safe, reliable, and available in over 170 countries. It uses HTTPS encryption and two-step login to protect your information. But the real gem is its option to open 3 “virtual cards” in your account. These are like legitimate “burner” debit cards, in that you can freeze them at anytime.
This ensures your primary credit card financial details aren’t shared. It also means you can sign up for a free trial of software without having to worry about overstaying a subscription. Use it to sign up, then instantly freeze.
You can also unfreeze just as instantly, if you choose to continue after the trial. Remember, you should still cancel any subscription you don’t want (don’t be ghost! 👻) but this adds another layer of security and reassurance that you won’t be charged for additional transactions without your knowledge.
Are there fees to create a Wise virtual debit card?
Wise virtual cards are free to all personal or business customers (excluding Japan and the US, but they still offer competitive rates). Unlike a prepaid card, you’re not charged load fees, service fees, or for inactivity. You just add money to your card through your bank, or use funds in your Wise account. You can use it right away, with low currency conversion fees. Exchange rates are always very reasonable, at the mid-market range.
Get Wise to your subscription spending habits
Consumers underestimate how much they spend on subscriptions by an average of $133. They guess it’s $86, but the reality is usually $219. 42% of people have forgotten recurring charges for services they no longer use! So it’s worth looking for ways to control your software subscription costs.
Don’t waste another dime. Get Wise instead, and you can try out that latest AI product you’ve been looking at with confidence. Take it for a test drive, knowing that you’re spending safely and managing subscriptions wisely.
