MORAL : FREE IS OFTEN TOO EXPENSIVE
They will initially claim this service to be free and then will ask for your debit card and CVV no. and will keep claiming that nothing will get deducted from your account without informing you and then you will get first deduction of Rs 50 and then after a month an yearly subscription of Rs 13800 will be made from back end automatically without any prior confirmation from the debit card holder or bank ... This is how LINKEDIN works ... I feel they are not confident enough to gain confidence of people buying their subscription voluntarily and so tricking it that way ... Now I am fighting the case with my bank for fraud and dealing with complaint mechanism to get back my money ... This is an yearly subscription and they are claiming nothing will be refunded even if you are ready to cancel it the very same day ...
I am unknowingly charged from today i.e., 4th May 2017 to 4th May 2018 and came to know of the same via my mobile alert for banking ... Today I had to block my ATM card just because of LINKEDIN ... With deep pain I request to all my connections to share it with maximum people so that nobody else will become next victim of "FREE" LINKEDIN premium membership ...

1yI have just received a $924.42 Canadian dollar credit card bill after having a free Premium LinkedIn membership for a month. Nobody told me of these costs, or asked me what Premium membership I even wanted. And it's for a whole year!!!!!!

2yI have the same issue, and the annoying part is that I have neither been able to unsubscribe nor remove my card details. My last option is to block my card...
