So, we bought the new AppleTV. I went to activate the service and it said "log into iTunes and add a payment method." So, I logged into iTunes and saw that I had a payment method, but it was out of date, so I added one.
Well, upon trying to activate the free year on my appletv, it said (again) add a payment method.
So, I called Apple.
They had me log into applied. Well, that place had a different payment method, so I tried to change it, and it said "Apple uses two factor authentication" at that point it would normally send a challenge to your logged in iPhone or tablet, but I have neither...so, (this is brilliant) it asked me for the security code for the payment method they had on file (which I no longer have, which is why I was trying to update said payment method).
So, basically, if you have no other apple device than an appletv, AND you lose your credit card, you cannot update the payment method and/or activate your service.
So, they ended up giving me a code for a free year. Which I could only activate by logging into someone else's tablet changing my payment method and then redeeming the code, so basically I still had to have another apple device to change my payment method.
Super frustrating you cannot turn off auto renew though. Looks like I am counting on you google calendar.

I have my trial that ends next year and I try to use it often but I find myself still using Netflix and Prime Video 99% of the time, I can't see myself paying for plus once my trial ends
I wish Apple would've tried to get rights to existing content or something. Disney+ feels like a much better deal because people know what they're getting. Apple TV+ is kind of a gamble in that way, which is probably why the trial ever existed.
