Elder Scrolls Online free month & iDeal/PaysafeCard subscription plan

[Jurre]

Hey guys,
I just bought The Elder Scrolls Online, because I was a HUGE fan of Skyrim.
Anyways, now I logged in on the site, entered my code etc and it asks me for my subscription plan. Since the game was dropping subscription months at 17 March, I figured I would just play during my free month of the game, and then stop playing for 8 days till 17 March, but this isn't the case I see.

It says this at the subscription plan: †All subscriptions are recurring except for purchases using iDeal, WebMoney, PaySafeCard, and Giropay. You may return to "Manage Subscriptions" at any time to change your subscription settings.

Does this mean I will lose 12,99 euro this month and fill that up in my free month so 1 month of game time total, or will it give me 2 months playtime of the free month and the 12,99 paid month?
I really think this is ridicilous from TESO, but I've heard more things. So, does this mean I HAVE to pay 12,99 ATLEAST to play the game or am I wrong?
Thanks alot!

you need to authorize a payment method, you can cancel your subscription right after and get unlimited access to those free 30 days and they won't charge you anything. It's been a rather controversial "feature" from the very beginning.

Since day one people have been asking this question. I must have answered it over fifty times.
