Aloha! I am new here. I want to make this known: I want to let you know that this coming May, my free membership is to come to an end. I will not have any way to pay with a credit card to get premium or premier membership. I am going to be using my money to pay for a computer net connection source, which is the most important. When I registered with the Lush Stories forum message board, it gave me a Bronze temporary free membership. I am happy with that. I can still look at this Lush stories site without having a paid subscription. Can I still look at this site without being a paid member? I have never had a credit card and I think there is no way to use a gift card as a credit card.
It should be known that one can open a PayPal account at no cost.. It can then be used to pay for things using a bank account or a credit card to transfer payment to PayPal which then will pay for what you purchased. In addition you can receive money from sources paying you for a service, or an award if you happened to win one in a writing contest here. The payment would go to PayPal and then into your banking account.
In the past I paid for my membership here using PayPal. I also receive payments from my publisher for sales of my ebooks that go to PayPal which in turn pays me. All of this at no cost to me.
Thanks a lot for the free gift, Sensual Lady. The other person's post about using PayPal or anything similar is too involved and too complicated for me. I have never been exposed to such transactions, so it is out of my understanding.
