How to pay for membership without using Paypal?

One Time Payment>Enter $ Amount>Continue sends me here:

I don’t see any options for other forms of payment. The ‘Checkout As Guest” button is for Paypal, also. I just want to use my debit card.

I’ll try again later and hopefully that will happen for me, too.
What type of device were you using? I’m on an iPad.

To be clear, ALL credit/debit card transactions with DU are processed through PayPal's system. However, you should not have to have a PayPal account to make a one time payment.

Checking out as a guest should (in theory) allow you to make the purchase without creating or logging into a PayPal account. Does it ask you to sign in or create a PayPal account when you hit that button?

The first 2 times I tapped that button it directed me to the Paypal log-in, again.

Third time’s the charm! This time, there was a “Continue As Guest” option available, and it let me enter my card info, so now I am reupped for the year.
Thanks!
