Paid Account Trial

Title:
Paid Account Trial

Area:
paid time

Summary:
Give users the option to have paid time for a certain length of time so see if they like it.

Description:
LJ had a feature where for free, you get two weeks of paid time. I think this would be useful for DW. By having this, users can preview what it's like to have paid accounts and therefore, if they like it, they would be more inclined to buy it. I would like to preview what it's like myself but am hesitant because I do not want to end up wasting money if I don't like it.

Could bugs and things be avoided if to do the trial DW went through the checkout system rather than doing it as a button-click process that doesn't seem to go through checkout (at least on the user side) the way LJ has it?

Since DW already keeps track of payment history would it be possible to allow one payment of $0.00? :|a Hrm... I was thinking it could somehow be done like the money orders, but I guess you guys have to manually approve the paid time after you receive the money for it...
