It’s not possible. A credit card or PayPal are the only payment options.

People will sponsor you though so check out the Enter Your “Sponsor My Membership” Requests Here thread.

Please don’t let lack of a credit card or access to PayPal keep you from renewing your subscription.

Let your friends here on the board help you as need be for the situation.

Please see the relevant thread here at ATMB: [Help with my subscription](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=415370)
