@prairiecelt I use PayPal to cover my pro account every month. You can get a PayPal card for like nothing over at a grocery store or Dollar general even. It's getting an attached to your account making sure that you're actually has funds in it to pay for pro that can be a bit of a wrangle.
@PaganMother @stueytheround PayPal would be my go-to and I'd rather pay a yr at a time, but when I've gone to the 'Go Pro' link, all I see is a CC option for monthly debits. I'll try again.
@prairiecelt @stueytheround If I remember right, There's a service that can give you a temporary card number attached to your PayPal account that you can use as a throw away to protect your private information. Just like a secondary backup.
@PaganMother @stueytheround @JGNWYRK this is what I see and would rather just pay for a year (by CC) There's no option for annual.... What am I missing?
@prairiecelt @stueytheround @JGNWYRK I don't think there's an annual option yet, let me get jester to look it over. @th3j35t3r Do we have animal payments available for coso yet?
@PaganMother
@prairiecelt I remember from another time when annual payment was raised, pointed out that it is not an option as $30 can be a significant amount if personal circumstances were to to change to a less favorable position
@Mauve_matelot @prairiecelt @stueytheround @JGNWYRK @th3j35t3r Yeah and that's understandable, but having that as an option to be chosen wouldn't be a bad idea for those in better circumstances.
@Mauve_matelot @PaganMother @prairiecelt @JGNWYRK
The main reason for no annual subscription option is that if you leave or are banned, say after six months, refunding the remainder is a pain in the butt!
/@th3j35t3r
@stueytheround @Mauve_matelot @prairiecelt @JGNWYRK Ahhh yeah that would be a hurdle to mess with.
@stueytheround @Mauve_matelot @PaganMother @JGNWYRK I get that - but perhaps with the option comes the 'no refund' rider... I'll figure it out one way or t'other!
@prairiecelt
Not sure but can tell you 1. J would only offer the most secure and reliable platform for financial transactions. 2. In 4 yrs not a single issue.
@damselfly59 Not worried about J AT ALL - just don't like monthly stuff going to a credit card - try not to use them at all anymore...
@prairiecelt wonder if a prepaid could be used or an annual payment?
@prairiecelt You cannot.
That being said several of us use https://privacy.com/ which is helpful for here , and SOOooo many other services that require a CC. #cosoHelp
@prairiecelt I use paypal to pay my sub. I don't know where the option is anymore as it's been five years, but perhaps as you go to checkout?
