Do you sign up for free trials?

I like to sign up for free trial offers and also trials where they let you try their product for like really cheap (like I just signed up to try Gevalia coffee, 3 packs for $3, free shipping, and if I don't like them I can keep them and the free travel mug and cancel). I like to get to keep any free things they offer, and I take full advantage of free trials even if I know I won't keep the service. I signed up for a Netflix trial and you get to watch as many movies as you want on your computer, plus have some delivered to your house. I can watch a LOT of movies and my family too, so two weeks will allow us to catch up any movies we wanted to see, plus I am at home so I can watch all the movies I want on my computer at no cost, and I will be canceling when two weeks is up. I sign up for a few other things too, plus I actually use a site where they PAY you to take the free trials. So even if you end up paying $2 for shipping for the product they pay you like $5 for example so you get your $2 back plus $3. Plus depending on what you're "trialing" you get the product too!
Just curious, anyone else do this?

Hey Its great to hear that someone else knows somthing about this free stuff. I have ran across several different ones and wasn't for sure if they worked or not. I always kept in the back of my mind that this was some sort of a scam. To pay shipping and the item for free sounds like my type of deal. I think you for sharing and easing my mind.

No problem, the trick is to just remember to cancel, and to also read the little small print to make sure you understand the terms, how long the trial really is, and if there are any obligations that go along, like I don't do book club stuff because you always have to buy a certain amount of books to fulfill the obligation that got you the discount.
