We are able to try out services we may not have known had existed for free. Some people will continue to use these services,such as Intuit web site design,or Pingo,as they are great legit companies,but others just try it for the trial period and decide its not for them and quit.Either way its fine and you will still be credited for signing up,because after all, it is the big advertisers that are paying the freebie Sites to encourage you to join up in the hope of you using and maybe staying with their service.
