Trying to renew membership, when I get to the "pay" page only PayPal shows,
I can't use PayPal and want to use a credit card.
How can I access that option?

Need help with renew membership problem (Original Post)

OP
On the PayPal page, look for the grey button at the bottom which says "Pay with Debit or Credit Card" -- it'll take you to a page where you can just enter those details, no PayPal account required.
Thanks!

I'm making a one time donation, as I do every year. After I enter the amount and click to the next/paypal page, this is what I see: (No grey button)
This is what I get:
What happens if you do "Checkout as Guest?"
I used my Opera browser to sign on to DU, went thru the $$ page, but ended up with same problem.
So I went thru as "guest" which led me to Paypal, entered my email, can't do anything then without a Paypal sign in and I can't sign in to Paypal because they have locked my account because I can't give them a cellphone number.
I'll send a check.
Oh...have to print a form, I see.
Ok..plan b.....can we pay for some one else's Star membership still?

I'm afraid I'm not able to reproduce the problem -- sorry about that.
If you send a check you don't have to print the whole form, just make sure your username is on the check or somewhere in the envelope.
You can't pay for someone else's membership at this time -- that's a bonus we'll bring back during the next summer fund drive.

'cause FFox and Opera do the same thing....
It may take a bit of time, but the mail will have to work for now. Thanks for trying.
