Will Existing members be given a 6 months free trial or is it 90 days?
Hi
On my profile, I see I am awarded bronze membership, but I am not sure if it is because I already sent 3 poems. Is it only for 6 months or is it given because of successfully published poems on site?
I have a bronze membership too but it says valid till 2034 :s
A post was made (in the old Q&A thread) about people not wishing to make a payment since the transaction would be highlighted on their subsequent statement as a payment in a different currency with likely conversion details.
I use a MBNA Visa credit card and certainly when I purchased a few golds a while back the entry on the statement was simply this:
28 Jul 14 30 Jul 14 PAYPAL BIGSOFTWARE £30.36
No mention of any currency conversion. I have no idea what other card providers do.
When the Gold membership first became available, for my personal security, I purchased a prepaid Visa card to use for my membership. It didn't work. Something with Lush's banking or the processor's banking would NOT accept prepaid credit cards. Consequently, I didn't purchase the Gold membership. Although I was gifted a membership by a friend and by Lush. I'd consider contributing to the site this time as well, but ONLY if I can do it via a prepaid credit card, as I cannot have any unknown charges appear on my "real" account.
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. Socrates For those that have some concerns about using credit cards or keeping things discreet, please consider setting up a Paypal account (which is free). You can link your bank account to your Paypal and use the "add money from bank account" feature to transfer $10 into your Paypal account. This will take about 5-6 days to clear. Then this money basically becomes a 'Paypal Balance'. You can then use this money to pay for various things online. The only transaction details you will be left with are emails from Paypal letting you know you've paid an online merchant etc.
If - for some reason - you are sharing a Paypal account with a significant other, make a new individual paypal account and use the "Transfer Money to a Friend or Family Member" option from the account linked to your bank account to 'pay yourself' and transfer $10 into the new account. All it will say is that you "Sent Money to Bob Smith" or whatever name you chose for the new paypal account. If questioned by your S.O., say you owe a friend $10 for a bet or whatever story you want to use. Then you can use the 'Bob Smith' account to pay Lush for your membership.
I have a quick question here ,,,, i paid to be a member yesterday and that I can tell it has not changed the "medal" is not on profile or such so how long does it take for this to happen ,, the form i filled out did NOT ask for user name or such?
Thanks

For those in the United States, there is an option to transfer plain cash to paypal through moneypak. I don't have any experience with that, but I've seen it recommended by PayPal forum moderators. Perhaps someone familiar with it could say if this is an option?
If you're having trouble with prepaid credit cards, check if the name and address stored with the card company are correct. These details may be missing or incorrect and make otherwise correct transactions fail (I experienced that once trying to use a gifted prepaid card in a local store, which would have been quite embarrasing if I hadn't had my regular card with me). Your best bet is usually a phone call to the issuing company.
I'm assuming I skimmed over this question/answer in the old thread, but if we have friends that are Free members, are they no longer able to contact us, or is there something in the profile settings that would allow for this?
What is bronze membership? I never entered any card details.
1. When I try to click through to the old thread, I get a 404 error. Has it been removed?
2. Where do I go to get a comparison of the various membership levels?
3. Where do I find the link to buy/pay for a membership?
I wont use pay pal or a credit card to pay for services that can't be known - how long will I have to take down images etc that are hosted here before you changed and started requiring a membership
