Because it requires a credit card and I don't have one -- I'll have to go out and buy a prepaid Mastercard or Visa before I can do a trial. Yes, I realize that I would have to continually update the credit card info every so many months, and I realize there's an extra fee charged once the prepaid credit card has been activated for seven months.
A hassle for me, but only worth it once I know what I'm getting. If I bought a $50 Vanilla Mastercard it would pay for 3 months' worth of Toronto Star, and only cost me (including the fees) the cost of one months' worth of newspapers.
