Don't Be Fooled: Amazon Prime Free Trial Requires Credit Card

New Members Must Provide Valid Credit Card to Sign Up

Beware of Fake Offers and Scams

Attention all Amazon shoppers! If you're thinking about signing up for a Prime free trial, be aware that you will need to provide a valid credit card. Yes, even if you just want to watch movies and TV shows. Amazon's website clearly states: "To sign up for a Prime free trial, your account must have a current, valid credit card." Any offers or promotions that claim otherwise are likely scams.

Scammers often create websites or social media posts that advertise "free" Prime trials without a credit card. They may even claim that you can get a refund after signing up. However, these offers are typically fraudulent. Amazon will not refund your money if you use a fake credit card or cancel your membership before the trial period ends.

So, if you're not comfortable providing a credit card, you may want to reconsider signing up for a Prime free trial. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy Amazon's products, such as shopping without Prime shipping or renting movies and TV shows individually.
