Can You Get an Apple TV Plus Free Trial Without a Credit Card?
The answer is no, you cannot get an Apple TV Plus free trial without a credit card. In order to sign up for Apple TV Plus, you are required to provide a future form of payment that will get charged once the trial ends or if you purchase something.
But keep in mind that you can cancel at any time before the trial ends in order to avoid being charged if you decide you don't want the subscription.
Will the Apple TV Plus Free Trial Automatically Renew Into a Subscription?
Yes, the Apple TV Plus free trial automatically renews into a subscription, as does most live TV and streaming platforms. As we mentioned above, you are asked to attach a payment method to your account, and the point of asking for payment details upon enrolling for a free trial with a service is to seamlessly transition to a paid subscription after the testing period ends.
This means your Apple TV Plus account will automatically switch to a paid membership when your free trial period is over unless you cancel before that happens. The card you entered will be charged the standard subscription price. The date your free trial ends will become your monthly billing date from now on.

Your provided payment method will be charged the current price of the streaming service plan in the following manner:
- Subscribing on the Apple TV Plus platform - $9.99 per month.
- Purchasing an eligible Apple device - $9.99 per month.
- Apple One - $19.95 per month (Individual), $25.95 per month (Family), or $37.95 per month (Premier)
Keep in mind that for the Apple One service, the price refers to the Apple One subscription, which includes other services of your choice besides Apple TV Plus.
How to Cancel an Apple TV Plus Free Trial?
You can cancel Apple TV+ at any time in Settings at least one day before each renewal date. If you cancel during your free offer period, you and your family members will immediately lose access to Apple TV Plus and the remainder of your free trial.
Note: If you accidentally cancel, you can't reactivate this trial.
Here is how to cancel the Apple TV+ free trial:
