Hi all, my annual VIP memborship ran out, but for some reason both the segpay and ccbill links have been rejecting all my cards... did anyone else have this happen recently??

I just finished renewing my VIP. Worked out ok for me

My recurring membership was just randomly canceled, according to the billing agency for one of any number of reasons, after five years. Annoying at the very least. I hesitate to renew, wondering if it has to do with the recent hack problem.

Has anyone else had messages on this board show up as invalid with a request to contact support? For example, the note about Room Service in the Boston ads board has been for the most part unreadable for me because of this problem. It now works where this morning not so much.
I am also still enjoying slow or no response from the new and improved interface.
Assuming you have not been hacked, your problem with offering TER your money may be related to the operational mayhem that has afflicted the site for the last month or two.
Hopefully, they will right the ship soon.
I would certainly double check your account balances on the credit cards. Just because the website says rejected doesn't necessarily mean they forgot to charge your account.

my card rejected an attempt to pay for VIP membership. The answer i got from my bank..was that the billing is now being shown to be housed out of Cyprus..which is known for housing many financial scam operations. So..it will be dependant on how strong the security is with whatever card you are attempting. you CAN ask your bank/card company to allow it to go through...but me, personally, nope.

...whether it was for TER (known board) or not...it seemed to risky to charge, plus somewhat embarrassing to ask my banker (who knows me quite well) to "unblock and allow " any transaction from Cyprus.

Thing are not looking too good there lately.

Select the "pay by cash" option. VERY easy to do, quick trip to the bank and no paper trail at all. Been using this on a quarterly basis for a year with no hiccups.

Couldn't agree with you more. The Trust Cash method is quick and easy. No trail at all that can connect back to you. I love it and wish every online service where I didn't want to leave a trail would provide it.

Best bet that I do with online memberships is with a pre-paid Visa gift card. Goes through easy and for those that are in a position of "sensitivity" with the Hobby need to "cover their tracks" (i.e throw phone) totally untraceable. I've had experience on other sites that are shady and use the CC info to do small little charges....usually less than $10, but if you see those a few times a year.....multiplied by membership numbers.....it's a HUGE source of illegal revenue.

Best thing is that you do not throw out ANY personal information to get a gift card.... pick'em up at CVS, Walmart....wherever

Just my $.02 and has worked out very well for me.
