Hey everyone. Just signed up for the .mac trial. Thing is that it expires the day before Christmas. I was planning on getting .mac as a Christmas gift! Just wondering if it's possible to use the alias that I've selected, when I get the activation code or will it not let me use it?

yes you can use your trial alias name
 
That's what I did. It just extends the current account into a regular account. Nothing changes that you've already set up on the trial version.
 
The thing is that will have expried on Christmas Eve.

No problem. I'm sure you can wait until the 25th or 26th, just then go to the renewal part and click "insert code from box," or whatever it says.

Also, might be different with trial, but with regular membership they keep your email alive 2 weeks after it ends, giving you time to renew. I always use up the 2 weeks each year, so that each year my membership renewal gets put back another 2 weeks. haha. Just don't have it set to auto renew. :)
