Evaluating "Free" Offers: A Consumer's Guide
Consumers often encounter tempting offers to try products or services for free or at reduced rates. These promotions, common for gym memberships, book clubs, magazine subscriptions, and travel services, promise the chance to test the waters before making a commitment. But are these deals as beneficial as they seem?
To help consumers make informed decisions, the National Consumers League offers valuable insights into evaluating trial offers and the companies behind them. Here's their advice:
Investigate the Company
Reliable companies should:
- Provide easy access to their contact information, including their name, address, and phone number.
- Clearly disclose their privacy policies, explaining what personal and financial information they collect, how it's used, and with whom it may be shared.
To ensure the trustworthiness of a company offering a trial, you can check for any complaints through the Better Business Bureau or state/local consumer protection agencies. These resources are available both in the phone book and online.
Scrutinize the Fine Print
Before agreeing to any trial offer, be sure to understand all the details. A trustworthy offer should:
- Clearly outline what is being offered, the cost, membership benefits and restrictions, payment options, and cancellation policy.
- Provide comprehensive information about the terms and limitations, including the trial period's duration and the steps required if you choose not to continue after the trial ends.
By following these guidelines, you can better assess the true value of "free" offers and make decisions that are right for you.
