Although we require a credit card or debit card for sign-up, for all new subscriptions, there is a $0 (USD) Spending Limit on your subscription so you do not accidentally exceed the monthly benefit shown above. If you use more in a month than the above amounts, you will exceed your $0 (USD) Spending Limit and your service will be disabled for that month.
