I used to have an old account with a ton of reviews, but I don’t seem to have access to it after a hiatus. Good to see this website is back for us in the US. So I’m thinking about buying membership, but how do you guys pay for it so you don’t end up leaving a money trail? Should I buy a gift card in cash and use that? Or is the credit card system for TER pretty secure?
You MIGHT be able to reclaim your old account if you can connect the dots (prove you are the old account holder):

People have been reporting recent problems with the TER CC processing system. Anonymous GC payments still seem to be working:

Thanks for the tip. Any risk that paying by CC would lead a trail back to me?
Posting here has a risk of leading back to you.
It's been close to 5 years now since I last paided for VIP but I used my CC and had not proble. TER was using a payment processor that seemed to provide some degree of separation from TER -- you don't see The Erotic Review on your card statement lol. Not sure what merchant category code was used for the payment but at least one time I renewed was when all the major processors (MC, V, Discover, AMEX) were cracking down on anything related to adult entertainment activities. No issues with the payment or with the issuer telling me they didn't want my business any longer.
I don't think TER can even see the payment information, just a hand off to the processor as if it's a blackbox and then gets a paid response back and know they will get paid.
