Trying to set up a monthly gift...
...unfortunately, the system won't allow me to set up $5 a month as an option, even in the custom amount field.
I know it's not exactly going to earn me a personal appearance by Mr. Randi, but I'd like to toss a few bucks the JREF's way, on an automated basis so I don't have to fiddle with it more than once. I'm pretty sure I'd set up the exact same arrangement before, but that was before I changed my credit card out. Any ideas? |

Many banks will let you set up an "automated bill pay" where they automatically cut a check and mail it each month; this is often an included feature with your checking account. If you have this, you might be able to set up your monthly donation to the JREF as a "bill".

I set mine up through my employer's annual charitable contribution campaign.
That means I'm giving $20/month when my employer's employee match is applied. Big spender, I am. |

I've tried to convince the forum staff here to do some sort of Supporting Membership like we have on Bullshido. I just wish they'd make it easier for me to give the JREF money... it's baffling.

The forum staff have absolutely no control over funding or donations. If you want to make a suggestion along those lines you need to talk to the JREF directly. The same applies to your problem in the OP - I don't know how often the JREF staff actually read the forum so you'd be best off contacting them directly to get help.

Probably best asked in this thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...d.php?t=217675 ? Or drop a PM to Brian Thompson?

Sounds good Darat, could you just move my post(s) over to that thread, and nuke this one?
