Best way to pay anonymously

Check with founder if he accepts prepaid visa cards. If he does, go buy one

Not complicated. Go to a local store and buy a prepaid Visa/Mastercard with cash and use that buy your membership.

Anyone know where on the site do you click on to extend/renew your membership?
I have always written numerous reviews to keep my membership but after 10+ years my VIP status is expiring soon.

Or will something appear once I lose VIP status?

"Or will something appear once I lose VIP status?" when you try to open a vip only area, you will be prompted to go vip

use bitcoin, or buy a prepaid card. Prepaid cards sometimes dont work for monthly memberships, so just buy $100 on and get a year of VIP

I second Whodey's recommendation of a Visa/Mastercard gift card, as an American Express gift card doesn't work well for this site.

Thanks all. Seems pretty straightforward.

On related topic. I would just do the dastardly thing of writing and submitting a few quick reviews in order to get VIP status, but I've read too many of those "I'm just writing this to boost my VIP status" reviews, in my two decades with TUSCL. Also I only attend two nearby clubs, concerning which I've said all that really needs to be said (for now, until something changes) so my review contributions would be thin at best. Back when there were more generous credits for submissions and I was reviewing more regularly, I was earning literally years of VIP status. But things are less generous now, and I attend less often, and I have less to say. I looked at my profile where I saw that my history goes back to 2004, but I was surprised that it didn't show some of the earliest reviews I remember, so, there must have been a previous user-name with even earlier submissions. Boy do I feel old.

Paying for a year help TUSCL - this website requires time to maintain and the server(s)/storage/bandwidth.
