I just received one. It says it is for a preview but they want my bank info. Has anybody tried it yet? What do you think about it?

I haven't received one yet, but I would be suspicious of any email that leads to somewhere requesting bank information. Make sure it is http://www.hulu.com and not a phishing site.

don't enter your bank details unless you want to see money disappear really fast... my idiot mother nearly fell for this when she received a HM Customs and Revenue Tax Rebate that required all her bank details and passwords on a site that didn't even have a Domain Name, just an IP Address... and i thought Hulu was free for you Americans?

I got the e-mail for an invite.

That is what it should look like. Then it sends you to this:

Edit: Wow those pictures came out smaller than they should have been, but you should be able to get an idea of what I mean, lol

By "preview," Hulu means that it is giving you the opportunity to see what it's like to pay for their service before anyone else. This is not a free trial; if you want to "preview" Hulu Plus, then you need to sign up with a credit card so they can charge you.

You'd think a "preview" would be free, wouldn't you? Any app. Lite is free, am I missing something?

When I follow the link and sign in this is what it shows me next, it asks for a credit card, not my bank info...

edit: got the uploading problem fixed, photobucket kept scaling down, imageshack is better, lol.

the app won't do any good unless you have the paid subscription/preview subscription

I got the email to but I don't know if I want to get into that service anymore, do you think there's a time limit as to when you can get subscribed to the service?

I too got an invite for the preview and signed up. Its great. I love getting full seasons of my favorite shows on both my iphone and iPad. For $10/month I highly recommend it. Quality of shows looks great on my iPhone, iPad, and desktop PC.
