I did create a twitch account that I didn't have before, I succesfully linked to my POE account, I only need to enable this twitch prime that is supposed to be "free".
Hence, I click on "start 30 days free trial", and I get redirected to a page where it only lets me sign up to a "amazon prime account included" banner.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. Twitch belongs to Amazon and is included in Amazon Prime. I.e. you are signing up for the Amazon Prime trial.

Asks for VISA card number...if it's "free" it shouldn't be asking that.

Why?

Amazon are a business. They're not giving away free stuff for no reason - they're hoping that when the trial ends you'll choose to remain subscribed to Amazon Prime. So they choose to limit the free trial to people who have credit cards, i.e. people who can pay for Amazon Prime.

I could understand some concern if it was a shady outfit nobody had ever heard of before, but Amazon are well-known. I doubt they're going to commit suicide by scamming a few gamers' credit cards. Particularly when they know so many people's credit card info already.
