Yes. Sign up for a month at a time. But to do this you have to be very careful when selecting what period your are signing up for. On their screens match highlights 12, 9, 6, and 3 months. Not highlighted, but at the bottom is one month. Do not select 12, 9, 6, 3.

To summarize when youi subscribe you are prepaying for the given period you selected and as attested to in many postings here match does not refund do refunds. Best option is to suscribe for a single month then cancel it. At that point you should/will get two emails. One for suscribing and one for canceling. KEEP THESE EMAILS. Note, since you prepaid for the given period your account is indeed active and you can email etc. You account will go inactive, i. E. can not email or see who has looked at your profile. I have done a month at a pop periodically and religious about cancelling. To the extend that I actually cancel twice so I get two emails from match that document they know I cancelled. I have not had any surprise subsequent billings. But I am sure not to sign up for more than a month.

They will never give you money back! They get your card number and they own it. If you search for a review for this site most are review sites Match runs. They are a scam! Don't give them a real credit card. Maybe try a pay as you go credit card? They cost me over $300 and I only approved $75. They WILL trick you!
