I seem to run aground every year, sorry. I close the credit card I used last year so need to change cards. I tried going thru Upgrade, then Subscribe, but that sends me to Paypal. I don't use Paypal anymore. How do I change cards? :banghead:
 
Hey Don, I will ask some folks to have a look at that, and tag them into this thread so they can reply. Sadly, the financial workings are not my forté at all or I'd help directly.
 
Thanks for asking, Don. You've been an awesome supporter of ScubaBoard over the years, both as a donor and ambassador! I really appreciate it, especially in this Covid inspired economic turndown. However, PayPal is the only way we accept credit cards at the moment. You can use Zelle (through your online bank to mine), or send a check to

If you haven't tried Zelle, it's a bank-sponsored method that is protected by your bank and costs nothing. Just use my phone number as my ID: 4075090947.

I'm pretty sure using Zelle to pay for scubaboard is a violation of their TOS since you have advertisements on your site. Also there may be a post or two here that could be considered discourteous. Also a violation.

In fairness, using Zelle for pretty much anything at all seems to be a violation of their TOS.

On the other hand, their only real recourse is to cancel the zelle account so I wouldn't worry about it.
13. Prohibited Payments. The following types of payments are prohibited through the Service, and we have the right but not the obligation to monitor for, block, cancel and/or reverse such payments:

Payments to or from persons or entities located in prohibited territories (including any territory outside of the United States); and

Payments that violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation; and

Except as required by applicable law, in no event shall we or our Service Providers be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of prohibited payments. We encourage you to provide notice to us by the methods described in Section 6 of the General Terms above of any violations of the General Terms or the Agreement generally.

Paypal has become too controlling of much of the world. My account with them got messed up, I have no idea why, and they won't discuss it. Zelle is fine with me. PM the info.

They keep pushing me to use it, so I am. :D
 
Again, don: Thanks for your continued and heartfelt generosity. If we had more members like you!
 
For those who wish to use Zelle, please let me know your user name when you do. With dive ops pulling out of advertising, I really rely on "Go Red" funds to keep ScubaBoard going. If you aren't Red, please consider pitching in. PayPal is easiest, but we can accommodate a few other ways. We need your patronage!
