I found it to be bait and switch as well. I purchased the software in time to save money on the State return, but filed on April 13th (not even a Friday 13th) and after everything was ready then asked to make the payment. A better, more transparent approach, would have been a countdown feature showing how many days remaining before being charged. Even better, if there is a discount at time of purchase, that discount should apply during use regardless of date. I'm sure the legal phrases were disclosed to keep them from being sued, but it harms intuit's reputation to have a bait-and-switch policy executed like this. Customers will remember how they felt after experiencing this.
