Request: remove credit card registration when signing up for a Free Azure account.
I believe the reason for this is to prevent people from using fake/temp information for generating tenants/subscriptions, especially with the free credits ($200) for the first 30 days.
Haughom , there must be other ways to avoid this. To me, asking for a credit card for an alleged free trial account seems... a fake offer. I'm sorry, but this is the first impression I get.

absolutely,
verification by address, phone number, Email address.
the thing is that even prepaid cards don't work (I've tried), you need to have a bank account associated with your card.
for a free trial service, this requirement shouldn't be there.
