>10 million subscribers!! Internally at AOL it's called 'Member Save'. Translation -- anybody who calls to cancel up to twice in a row gets the next month's service free each time. Then, after three months or so of paying, the whole thing can start over. Obviously, word of this is getting around. Also, in conjunction with targeting old cancelled trial and other customers, AOL has unblocked millions of credit card numbers used in prior signups. IOW, it's open season again on the 'trial' gambit. In fact now you can get three months free no prob. Sign up for trial. On 30th day cancel. Free month. On 60th day cancel. Another free month. Then switch to another credit card, and so on..........
