Yes, you have to pay for using the service.

No, there is NOT a reasonable probability that your credit card information will be stolen. That would be terrible for their business and would likely put them out of business. I don’t know how many years I have had an account with both and my wife with one without ever having a problem. Absolute it could happen, just as it could happen with any online service (Amazon, Home Depot, Netflix, The Villages Box Office) but it is my experience that it is not common.
