Our Verdict
Key aspect with this offer is that you can’t cancel within the first 45 days otherwise you won’t get the points. You need to cancel before the free trial ends otherwise you will be automatically billed at the monthly rate. So make sure you set yourself a reminder to cancel on day 46 if you’re not interested in the subscription and just want the points. They are betting on the fact that most people will forget, so don’t be a sucker. These offers come around on a semi frequent basis.
