No Credit Card Numbers For Trials

I’m getting a little tired of websites with subscription services wanting my credit card number for a free trial. The scam here (yes, I know many reputable sites do this but it’s still a scam) is that they will take your credit card number and at the end of the trial they will automatically start billing your card. The onus is on the consumer to cancel the service. The model I would like to see is that no credit card be needed for the trial and at the end of the trial the vendor send an email to let you know that your trial period has ended and upon logging into your account you will be asked to enter credit card information to continue using the services. Is that so hard?
