If you dont cancel then they charge you. Im not sure why it was asking for more details. You have to use credit card to get free month.

by cancelling you mean your account ?

Yes. You have to contact technical support, located in same area where you posted this comment. But dont select that option. Select bottom option.

so basically suppose I learn for one month and then due to some reason I wanna' skip for two months then should I pause my account or is there another way

I dont know. you have to ask them. I was thinking of doing the same thing...skip a month like to study & then come back.... You have to ask Treehouse. This is just a forum. Staff sometimes respond but it takes longer for a response here.

You can email help@teamtreehouse.com to get an official answer, but as far as I understand it, yes in theory you can pause your account, and at the next billing cycle, you won't be charged, but you also won't have access to any of the videos or courses. When you come back, you unpause your account, and you'll be charged that day, and that will start your next 30 day billing cycle. But you can confirm all of that with the treehouse staff through that email.
