moving the period around in an email address allows some sites to see it as a new user, but ignored by the email client.
so new.user@email.com and n.ewuser@email.com can both make accounts, and not even need to make a mask.
this probably works better for some domains than others, but I've had great success with it.
Just use a temp mail service? Depending on the account, of course
need to still be able to get in and cancel the service before the trial ends.
there's probably a lot of better ways to do it, but I only need a free trial for small stuff a few times a year, so I've never looked too far into it
Fair enough!
