Semrush gives you 10 tries without any card or anything
full backlink profile? when I signed up, it gave me a preview, like a few backlinks, and told me I need to pay to see full profile.

Semrush actively blocks standard retail gift cards like Vanilla to prevent trial abuse, so you cannot bypass the card requirement on their official site. Most people get around this by using virtual credit cards (VCCs) from platforms like Revolut, Wise, or PST.NET where you can set a strict $1 spending limit or freeze the card immediately after signup. Alternatively, you can look into affordable group buy SEO tools in the marketplace section to access Semrush without using a personal card at all.

Semrush heavily guards their trial system, so standard prepaid vanilla gift cards or basic virtual credit cards (VCCs) almost always get auto rejected because their payment processor flags them instantly.
Most people who regularly run trial accounts use premium VCC providers like Revolut, Wise, or privacy.com (if you're in the US) because those cards register as legitimate banks while letting you set a strict spending limit or burn the card right after signing up.
