I stumbled upon this old thread, and even though it's been 5 years, I can totally understand your frustration with Hulu's ""free"" trial. It's never fun when you expect something to be free, only to end up getting charged, right? It's strange that you received multiple emails about being an eligible returning subscriber and qualifying for a free month, but the process didn't go as smoothly as expected. The lack of clear communication and the surprise charge can definitely leave you feeling disappointed. By the way, for all you folks in Saudi Arabia who might be wondering about watching Hulu, I found this awesome guide called ""How To Watch Hulu in Saudi Arabia in 2023."" It might come in handy if you're interested in accessing Hulu's content from the kingdom, even though this thread is a bit dated.
