You and everyone else. I guess this is the new "thing"
I want a free membership

Instead of "I want" why not ask: "What can i give?"
Yeah, a twist on JFK's speech.

Hey thats right! Didnt even think about that. Nice catch.

To answer the OP's question, it has happened here, but it's rare. I wouldn't get my expectations up if I were you.

Under an old account i gave a few 1 month diamond memberships to people. Not one of them did anything with it.

I want to use the free trial, but I can't because you need to enter credit card information. I wish they'd make it easy to try out and you could just click a try out button, and not try and get you to accidentally pay them.
If that was done then people could make serial accounts and have free diamond for life. At least with a card, they will know if someone has used the trial before.

I already have a free membership, with some limitations,
and still ejoy that a lot.
Thank you chesscom .
But I see your quest or question , in my way .
May wisdoms diamond light and "its brother"
shine on your way .
Be well. You and all .

I know, but I still don't like how they do it. To get free money.
Anyway, what is the point of that? You'd never even get to keep the account. Or maybe you could just verify with you credit card, and they wouldn't charge you at all.
Most companies that do free trials do it exactly the same way. X number of days free and then charge if you don't cancel. The site also has a 30-day refund guarantee for those requesting it for the first time, so even if you forget, you can utilize that.
