To be fair, I am pleased to report I was refunded the $47 charge I mentioned in my original post. It took about a week, but at least it happened. The lesson here is to closely look at the terms of any "free trial" or "$1 trials". Trial periods have a funny tendency to go by very quickly. Have your egg timer set as you approach the end of your trial period so you aren't swept into a program and its cost without reaffirming your specific permission or knowledge. "I didn't read the terms and conditions" is not a good defense for getting your money back. If you're going to cancel out of the program, do it several business days before the trial period's end, so you don't get blindsided by weekend or processing time technicalities.
