These days I see a lot of offers for free domains when you pay for multiple years.
Yes, that seems to be the trend. Maybe the reason is well explained in this thread at HHO, by Gordon:

I decided to half the retail price of some of our domain names. This meant we were taking a loss on some of them.
The result was no increase in sales at all.
It seems that the only way to increase domain sales using price would be to charge $5 or less.
As some of you may know I tried giving away domain names for free last year and only managed to give away 150 in a month (there were no strings of any sort and I had budgeted to give away a few thousand).

People seem to respond best to an unfeasibly low price (i.e. sub Godaddy).
