Hulu
As I suspected, since Hulu started their Hulu Plus subscription service, the available programming on regular Hulu, of interest to me, has dwindled considerably. Even their 1 week trial requires giving them a credit card #, which gives them the right to make continous debits each month on the card, which I do not care for at all.
They do not accept PayPal, as I would prefer, but I recall back a few years ago, that PayPal had a method of issuing a credit card # that was valid only for an individual purchase. I don't know if that would be any good for ongoing debits or not, but when I browsed the PayPal website, I couldn't find any mention of this now.
They do offer regular MasterCard, which I don't want, and also a PayPal debit card, which I don't understand, except that it appeared to be for use at ATMs, and it seemed that it only drew on a PayPal balance, rather than debiting my bank account as with other transactions (probably irrelevant, since they don't list PayPal in this fashion either).
I started to send an email to PayPal, for clarification, but they have so many hoops involved, that it seemed impossible to do very easily. Therefore, my post here...anyone understand this?
