I'm sure some folks here sign up with active.com when they register for races.

Well, after the confirmation, it'll ask if you want their one-year "advantage" membership for a 30 day free trial and then $59.95 per year afterwards.

I agreed and then emailed them to cancel about a week later. Got this email:

We are sorry to lose you as an ActiveAdvantage member!

Thank you for using activeadvantage.

Sincerely,

Your ActiveAdvantage Team

Well today, a $59.95 charge on my card! Lame. Anyway, be careful with this site. I took the free trial to look at some of their training plans, but from here on out I'd suggest just clicking no.

That sux. Hopefully you can dispute the charge and get it removed.

I had the same thing happen to me; fortunately my credit card expired and they didn't get the money.

BTW, i just watched more than 10 times of animated gif in your signature, it's curiously addictive

I assume you contacted your CC to dispute the charge? I expect they'll take care of it.

Thanks for the warning!
