What are our current payment options for SDMB membership? I’m considering dropping PayPal from my financial life, since SDMB is the only thing I’ve used it for for the past 6 or 7 years. Does the Reader accept credit cards?
We have always accepted credit cards.
PayPal has always done the processing of our credit cards. Originally this wasn’t obvious, but these days they set up the payment pages so that it can sometimes be difficult to figure out how to pay without setting up a PayPal account (and they keep changing things around so that I can’t tell you exactly how to do it). But somewhere in their maze of payment pages there is an option to pay with a credit card and you don’t need to use a PayPal account.
Some people have reported that the option doesn’t show up properly on some browsers, and that if you have this issue, switching to another browser will often get you around it.
Excellent. Thanks so much for the info!
