It's free but a credit card\paypal is required.

It's cool because it includes dlcs, but it's too expensive imho.

not just card or paypal - you need CC or paypal payment 1 euro, which - probably - will be refunded
and you should check autosub and how to disable it

Any way of trying this without payment information?

I don't think there is. Unless they release some promo codes like Xbox Game Pass did through Alienware

Pretty sure it's one of those "subscribe for free and if you forget to cancel before the end of the month (which we hope you do), you'll be charged automatically" kind of free trial, hence the reason they ask you for payment information.

No, it's not true, they are not thieves. I had the same problem with Origin Access (1 Week free trial) but they refunded my money as soon as I contacted support.

Oh, they'll refund you if you request it, usually. Such services still expect you'll just forget about it, and once the time come you won't be bothered enough to request a refund. :P

Similar thing happened to me. I forgot to cancel Origin after free week. They automaticaly charged me. I cancelled and didn't bothered to ask for refund. Few days later they sent me refund and an email notification.

It is also used as the only sure way to know if the subscriber is 18+ or not, but most of the times is either "also" or "only" because of the reason you mentioned.
Just check what are the rules for the "cancel anytime", because sometimes companies makes canceling harder than subscribing, but I don't think Ubisoft is THAT evil.

I was referring to if you actually had to pay 1 Euro, as HAKIMODO implied.

So is 1 cent. Why a euro?

To check if your card works. Probably to be sure when the subscription fee goes off that you've entered a legit card. Sometimes companies pay that 1 Euro back into your account. PayPal and Microsoft does that when you add a new card.

Edit: PayPal pays you back, while MS does not.

PSA: to cancel you need to wait at least 30 minutes after you sub

edit: I guess I already own everything I wanted to play in Uplay, other than Farcry 5 and Origins. Meanwhile the M$ Gamepass has a lot more I am interested in.
It's is interesting because different pages from the sign in process list different prices: either 1e or 0e, 14.99e/month once the offer expires, or 1e a month (explaining it's 12e a year). I think this last one is plain wrong. If that is the case, it is a really good deal, but 15e a month for ubisoft games it's quite a stretch, in my opinion.

Can you cancel and keep the rest of the trial or does it end the trial?

Comment has been collapsed.

I am still waiting for the page to let me cancel, but as I understand, it works like Amazon Prime, or the Origin Vault... you cancel, to avoid getting charged later, and that's it. I will report once I finally cancel my sub.

The 1€ is insta-refunded, it's a way to check if your payment system is real

5 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

yes i understand,but it is needed , is a requirement,so is true that they make the 1 euro transaction also if refund it.
edit:
Btw in my case for my personal experience is NOT insta-refunded because is already 2 days i order the subscription for "Free" but until now they not give me back my 1 euro (and i doubt they will do before the next 15 days).

PayPal listed it as £1 but never even took the payment in order to refund it. I know this for a fact as there's currently no money in my account.

I have 1e retained on my account, and they even asked for the 2fa SMS, like if I was buying something. I guess they will refund it later, and it is just to prove the card you gave them is in good shape

I used paypal and it told me $1 CAD + $2.4 tax(WTF?!) = $3.4 on the paypal page, clicked pay and the next page ubi told me confirmed "$3.4 $0.00" No activity was shown when I checked paypal itself and nothing was deducted( I used balance). Either it hasn't shown up yet - which is likely - or it didn't deduct.

If you can and want to use their service, I do recommend Valiant Hearts and Child of Light to play. They are really good and relatively short, playing and finishing them is a good use of a free period (same as with testing games)

If you have and use a Uplay account, note that a lot of the + games have easy to complete challenges good for XP and U units. Play a few rounds of Uno and Monopoly then convert the U into a store discount or new gear for the games you already own.

oh, good idea, very good idea! Some of the Uplay games don't even give enough U units to buy their rewards for their own game.

Edit: First game I download Monopoly and it won't launch... .....sigh

I have the same problem with Monopoly. Apparently it's been around for a while. I'm hoping they get drowned in support tickets today and do something about it.

That worked for me too. Thanks! This is good because my exchange with Ubisoft support was going nowhere.

First response - Cut/Paste: update your drivers
Second response - Cut/Paste: Disable all your startups one at a time to see if they're the problem
Third response - Your graphics card (which is currently running Division 2) is rated slightly lower that Monopoly's minimum spec card in one category so it's your fault

I get that Ubisoft wants to compete with Steam any way they can but is "crappiest customer service" really the best choice?

for anyone wondering, they don't actually take the 1€, it is free, just don't forget to cancel by the end of the month if you dont want to be charged...well, its 1€ a month for now, so probably not the worst way to spend that ammount

The 1$/€ if for verification purpose, it will be refunded later and this for a new payment method (CC / Paypal) you are using for the first time with that shop (Uplay)
If you have a payment method (CC / Paypal) that you already used before to buy a game or dlc from Uplay then they won't need to deduct that 1$/€
