I've only done one offer that required my credit card.  It was for a trial to audible.  I just needed to remember to cancel prior to the trial ending so I wouldn't get charged.  I'm careful to do credit card offers because I've been charged for trials (i.e. magazine subscriptions) that I've never ordered.  These charges DID NOT come from any offers I've done on Fusion Cash, however, but because I've had problems in the past, I just stay away from all credit card offers.  If you catch an unauthorized charge, usually you can call the company to reverse the charges and your credit card company will also work with you.  It's just a pain and time consuming, and if you don't catch it, it can be expensive.

IM always cautious when I use my CC online, unless its paypal verified checkout or a secure site i've used before. & Fusion cash it cool and everything but hey people can do some crazy things online so i would just say USE WITH CAUTION!! Lol.

I personally don't do the credit card offers. I trust Fusion Cash but not quite confident in the advertisers. I am sure there are good ones, but I am just afraid of giving out too much info.

I used to, but I would forget to cancel and lost money.  The few times I did try to cancel after the trial period, it was a pain in the butt! :bootyshake: They kept offering me more time and wanted to know why I was cancelling. Another talked me into another free month, but by then, I had forgot to cancel again.  I think that's what they figure you'll do.
That's just my experience...maybe you're more organized.  :cat:

I would suggest doing it unless you really want what they have to offer.

Only if you need it.  Too many credit cards whether there is a balance or  not can affect your credit score.  But then you could always click on credit scores for extra points.
Have a wonderful day!

I personally don't like to do anything with the credit card offers, but if you remember to cancel it later on you should be fine

I tried the audible offer, too. It was pretty good but the site really was out of my price range. One thing to be careful of when doing sites that require your credit card number is the hidden cost. I signed up for a credit score review and ended up with charges on my card that I did not approve. So make sure you read every word of these sites so you don't get taken like I did.

I've never done any of the credit card offers. I'm way too paranoid and have had unauthorized charges to my cards before so I monitor them really closely. Anyways, I'm not sure if there is a risk, but I don't do them--I'm happy just doing the dailies and the forum and the occasional free/no cc offers.
