Dale I don't know what you are doing but I just went to ancestry.com and it does come up with the free access information. In order to view some of the information you will be asked to register but they do not ask for your credit card number. If you registed before thru the Today Show free link then all you have to do is login with your user name and the password that you used at that time.
