Shack Donations – Rent is coming up

[RiverDog]

No worries, thanks for the bump Agent. Thanks to the folks pitching in, it is beyond appreciated. Like I've said before, if I wanted to monetize from this site there would be advertisements plastered all over the place. That's not the goal. But your help is not only encouraging to keep this place going, it helps me pay the hosting bills!

Sending some Shack love to you all!

I'll send you a PM. I need your mailing address. Since I post more often than any other member, it would be a disgrace if I didn't contribute something.

Paypal is the way to go if you use it (if you don't maybe you should).

Never have used it. I prefer to use my credit card, ie the bank's money, at least until the bill comes due. If credit cards aren't accepted, I'll use my bank's Bill Pay feature.

paypal is using either your bank or you credit card, your choice. I use it because once you program in your card or your bank you never have to type in all your information for online payments, it's just a few mouse click and done. I not only hate having to get my card out and type in a thousand characters to make a purchase but I don't feel secure giving my cc info to every site I want make a purchase from.

I appreciate your recommendations, but outside of having my CC number compromised a time or two, the last time being nearly 10 years ago, I've never lost a dime by an unauthorized purchase when using my CC. I'd rather take the rewards offered by my bank and simplify my budgeting by limiting my expenditures to one account. Additionally, I'm AOC's worst nightmare, making nearly all of my online purchases via Amazon, not so much out of brand loyalty but rather a record keeping thing if I need information regarding a purchase I made 10 years ago or so, so there's not many occasions requiring me to fetch my card from my wallet. It's worked well for us and I see no need to change it. I write perhaps 3-4 personal checks per year, all to individuals like Yoder.

I think you have a misunderstanding. Paypal, at least as I use it, is not an account, it's just a service that uses your account to pay fpr purchases. The money still comes out of your cc account and you still get whatever rewards you'd get for typing it all out for yourself. But whatever, I don't work for them, stay oldschool if you prefer. Sales pitch over.

It has nothing to do with being old school, I just don't have a need for it. But I do appreciate your explanation of the service.
