A network device receives a user's selection of a subscription to media content services that includes a designated trial period. The subscription includes access to both digital content and physical media content. The network device receives payment information, for the subscription, that includes a credit card number, a card security code, and a billing address. The network device grants, to a user account, a temporary entitlement for the digital content when the payment information is received and obtains verification of the payment information. The verification includes determining validity of the payment information and verifying that a minimum credit card balance is available on the credit card. The network device selects an updated trial period status from a group of options including terminating the temporary entitlement, extending the temporary entitlement for a first duration, extending the temporary entitlement for a second duration, and issuing credits for the physical media content. |
