I know trial abusers do it, old trick. 3 day trial, kill it on day one, still have days to play.

Membership, and subscription abusers have been around forever.

IMO Anywhere from 40-60% of paysite customers these days are trial abusers ... As opposed to maybe 5 - 10% 2 years ago ..

I HAVE seen someone put up a 'WARNING' link near the 'CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP' link that went a page straight up saying, 'look we know some of you bastards will charge this back and claim you never logged in. we keep detailed records of your ip and timestamp all your accesses, so if you try and fraud us we will prove to your credit card company you are frauding them'

or something like that.

who knows, maybe it worked!

It does, it has a really noticable effect on chargebacks ... it is also good to point out to the subscriber that a chargeback will result in their card being added to a negative database which will prevent them from ever buying anything on the internet ever again .... (enough people believe it!)

Cherry, you might be onto something with the 'men don't like commitment' thing LOL
I haven't updated my women's paysites since March & they still have as many rebills as my men's paysites which are updated ... er ... occasionally ...
