Mumsnet subscription

[triggerhappy]

I'm new to MN, and I had an email yesterday from asking if I could pay a yearly subscrition to the site, which confused me a bit

Is this a bog standard email that gets sent to everyone? If I can't afford to pay will I still be allowed to use the site?

Thanks for any help.

Pay if you can and ignore if you can't. It's not compulsory as the mn team want everyone to have access. All who can afford to pay should, though, even if it's a small contribution because they run on a shoestring apparently.

although you have just reminded to pay mine .. thanks

actually ... can't find the subscription page .. help

did MN think about the whole DD each month thingy cos DH would'nt notice a small amount comming out each month - £5.00 for example or something.

subs page is here

Thanks Roisin for the link.

We did think about direct debit Munz but on the whole wanted to avoid because we pay a transaction fee each time and so it makes more sense to encourage folks to pay in a lump sum. But you're right it would make it easier for folk to pay more, so we'll look into the mechanics again. Thanks for suggesting it.

Triggerhappy, Anorak is spot on - we don't make subscribing a condition of use. If you can't afford to contribute, please don't feel bad - it's not a problem.

Thanks ladies, panic over!

Will see what I can do. x

do mumsnet accetp paypal

could the transaction fee be a part of the subs so we pay it? (I wouldn't mind an extra 0.30 a month or something for the charges) it's the only thing thta's really stopping subs or I suppose I could do a card payment each month on paypal?

Justine , has the hiccup with the postal subscriptions been resolved yet ?

thanks for link

...surreptitious bump

would love monthly dd as I am hopeless with remembering anything Is it possible?

Yes postal subs fine now - new PO box and all, though they take a few weeks to process. We don't do paypal atm but guess we should look into that too do you think? Direct debit is being looked into as we speak. Thank you for suggestions, concern and surrepticious bumps .
