Many sites don’t make it clear that you will still have access until the end of the trial. This also works for annual/ monthly subscriptions in my experience.

I set an event on my calendar with several alerts for the trial expiration date if it will not let me cancel immediately without losing my trial.

Alot of companies have gotten wise to this so the moment you cancel is the moment your lose your access. YMMV

Apple trials don’t work like this

This is a good way to lose your trial, don't listen to this generalized LPT without confirmation the trial will continue until its period ends

Doesn’t work for the HBO Max extension (or, I assume, the others offered) through Hulu. I did exactly this hoping to save myself having to remember to cancel my trial later, and the access ended immediately.

Is it Tuesday already, time for someone to repost the cancel subscription LPT again.
