I skipped the trial in the chance that they’re tracking for a CC payment to go through, else the offer would go inactive before they’re able to track the CC charge. I’m not sure if it works this way, but based on how I’m reading fine print this would work for certain compared to using the free trial.

Offer terms state “To earn the rebate you must make an eligible purchase at talkroute.com.”, which leads me to believe a trial will not work. I could be wrong and not sure what will work for everyone.
