think about the limited offer list/ OOD on the final pages of allllll their sites.

With the crediting issues/manual credit problems people have been having, YFD doesn't look too promising anymore.

Where does it say that? Am I missing it?

It's describing a sampling of offers, not all of them, with the costs to keep those offers past the the trial period. With the exception of a few (like Netflix & Blockbuster, which have had this policy for a long time), I don't see any stipulation that you must keep an offer for any length of time. It just says to continue membership will cost $X after the trial period.

Now of course some have recently been told they must submit 3 months of CC statements to get manual credit, so perhaps they do have a change in terms somewhere that dictate a more strict cancellation policy, but I don't see evidence of that in [b634f9b0481]your[/b634f9b0481] post, which is a pretty standard offer sample list that many sites/networks publish.

When you get to the bottom offers, like Site Sell - it says you have to sign up for the $299/1 year offer - I've noticed that on some of the sites I'm working on as well - only not in the pop up box, just when you view the offer examples. I'm done with YF now too
