Becoming a Donor or renewing status
For those who wish to become a donor or renew your status there are two options available. Donations can be made by cash in the mail or CC through our secure third party vendor. For your protection we only get a message that confirms a payment was made no personal information.
Cash may be sent along with the username to:

If choosing the CC payment option you will receive an email from the processor Flint. Please then forward that along with your GBN username to publisher@grainbeltnews.com
There is a small transaction fee that our CC vendor charges of $2.95 for standard, $3.95 for Advanced and $4.95 for Sustaining so please remember that if buying a PP card for the exact amount.
$30 donation is 30+2.95=32.95
$50 donation is 50+3.95=53.95
$100 donation is 100+4.95=104.95

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
Received another CC payment today with no association to a GBN account and no receipt was forwarded to the email You will not receive credit until you do this as we have no way of knowing who you are.
Also, when sending a cash payment please include the username inside the envelope and assure you have filled out the envelope properly. We received a postage due a few weeks ago that when we went to pay the postage the PO could not find the piece of mail. I assume it was returned to sender if you put an actual address on it.

Using a VISA gift card worked just excellent...
I had my doubts about prior to using it, but I'm quite pleased how seamlessly it worked...
I just bought the card an hour and a half ago, and it was set to be used...

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
Please review before making your donation. There has been an addition to your donation options and some reminders on the process you MUST follow.

Cash may be sent along with the username to:
Nobody Home Ent
PO Box 3011
Davenport, IA 52808
If choosing the CC payment option you must enter the email address that is also associated with your GBN account, this is how we match the donor to username. You will also receive an email from the processor Flint, please then forward that along with your GBN username to publisher@grainbeltnews.com and maxwell@grainbeltnews.com to assure the quickest processing. We have received a few lately used a different email and/or did not forward the receipt so we have no way to apply to the member.
There is a small transaction fee that our CC vendor charges of $2.95 for standard, $3.95 for Advanced and $4.95 for Sustaining so please remember that if buying a PP card for the exact amount.
$30 donation is 30+2.95=32.95
$50 donation is 50+3.95=53.95
$100 donation is 100+4.95=104.95
You may also use the Cash App to send any amount from $30 and up with your debit card http://cash.me/$NobodyHomeEnt
Updates to your status will occur with 24 hours of receiving the donation although many times it is done much quicker usually with an hour or less.
Thank you in advance for supporting GBN and being a part of our community.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
A correct email is required for both yourself and us to apply any donation. If it is not the same as on your GBN account or just typed incorrectly we have no way to match to your account. If you enter it incorrect you will also not receive a receipt to forward to Publisher@grainbeltnews.com and maxwell@grainbeltnews.commaxwell wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 5:10 pmPlease make sure you use the same email that you do on the site.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
Donations are always welcome. They help keep the boat afloat.
Being involved is the best way to become trusted and verified on GBN. Introducing yourself in Greetings to New Members, finding topics of interest and participating and/or creating a new one of your own, all help.
Being a donor creates another layer of access to information. Just using the free sections has the least number of resources available to people.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
It is never to soon to advance your status on the site by becoming a donor. Once you have done so you will remain a donor member for the next 12 months. This will also give you expanded access and privileges.
Within the donor section you can find more information in regards to becoming a verified member.

You wouldn't want to. Paypal will shut down any account if they think it is being used for anything illegal.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
I've had Paypal literally try to steal nearly $1000 from me saying I broke their rules. It took me 6 months to get it back, via a complaint to the FCC and Commerce department for what was nothing but an attempt at a theft by them.
I have a very nearly unused Paypal account for a very specific purpose completely unrelated to this site. And it will stay that way, since I'm not going through their rigamarole a 2nd time.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
The credit card processing fees have been dropped.
I have found a much easier, and much less intrusive, means of accepting them. You just use your username, and email account used here at GBN, when setting it up.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
And today - the reason I do NOT accept Paypal on here rears its head ONCE AGAIN.
These assclowns have frozen $200 of my money "pending review" for a SCHOLARLY ARTICLE I wrote nearly 20 years ago that has been sitting in limbo with a publisher unti TODAY.
So I started the day, feeling yippee skippee. And now, when I want to RETRIEVE MY MONEY, pissed off with Paypal, once again.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
I am so puzzled by the behavior of some people. This resource is inexpensive. In fact, downright cheap. We only need 15 of those new people to act on that after they've been wandering around here for a few days.
Last night, one of the existing members agreed we deserve more support, and kept us from going into limbo this morning.
They have chose to remain anonymous, and without any sort of credit for their generosity. And I thank them.

Sorry, I did what I was supposed to. I got a money order and sent to the address. Presumably it worked the past 5 years but not this year. If it ever shows up, perhaps I'll return. Otherwise, I'll try again next year.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
Hmm interesting, so I know a member here who also sent in a money order over several months ago and he said it never was received. You guys never got it and it was never cashed. He eventually just sent a credit card payment. But I think something is fishy about the money order.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
The mail has been HIGHLY unreliable for the last 3 months, and more than one person have sent things that took weeks to arrive, and a few never at all.Yuna wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 6:38 pmHmm interesting, so I know a member here who also sent in a money order over several months ago and he said it never was received.

I know of who you speak and I thanked him for his extra effort.
In one case, his "check is in the mail" excuse for why it was sent late (and never received) I found highly suspicious since he had let his membership lapse 3 years in a row. My email exchange with him was, to put it bluntly - pissed off.
And if you make it payable to Grain Belt News as a money order - you mailed scrap paper unless you want us to return it to you by mail. WE CAN'T CASH IT if it isn't made payable properly - OR YOU CAN JUST LEAVE THE PAYEE BLANK so we can fill it out and deposit it.
IF YOU SEND A MONEY ORDER and we never cash it - GO REDEEM YOUR RECEIPT as Lost In The Mail and have it reissued, or just get a refund. We are NOT in control of how it gets handled in the mail, and getting testy with us about it does no good. IF WE DON'T CASH IT but we did receive it - see above.
Our CC processing allows you to be anonymous. Vanilla Visa and Amex Prepaid have both been tested and work. We don't ASK for your real information. We don't WANT it unless you're a total douchebag then try to say it was a fraudulent transaction.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
First I apologize for sending a message when I first had a question and hit a snag instead of doing my research here.
However I do have 3 questions to clarify things as I’m somewhat a novice with these issues:
1) Can I use a prepaid Visa gift card with either the credit card processor link in this thread and with the CashApp? I clicked on the link for CashApp and it looks like I have to install the app in order to use it, so I’m thinking the CC option may leave less of a trail?
2) If I make my donation in the month prior to my renewal month, does my renewal month stay the same or does it get reset to the month I made the donation? Same question for verified status.
3) Based on the post of Jan 23, 2020 that says “the credit card fees have been dropped” I assume (and you know what happens when you assume something) that we now can send the even amount of the donation we want to make?
Thanks

2. Yes
3. That is correct. The new processor's fees are low enough I'm willing to eat them.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
Thanks for the quick reply and answers, although question #2 was more of an either/or question than a yes/no. I think I understand and given dates it really doesn’t matter. I also assume you won’t refuse a payment if it includes something extra to help with fees.Publisher wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 9:15 am1.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
Time to refresh this.
1. We dont sell or give away your data. Unlike Twitter, Facebook, Amazon or Skip The Games.
2. We demand civil behavior, definitely unlike Twitter.
3. We don't track your online activities like Twitter or Facebook.
Our objective is information exchange and trust development. Running this site isnt free, or cheap since we arent engaged in snopping into your online activities for a profit.
Please consider at least a basic $30 donation to keep us afloat. That gives you a year of access to:
Private Messaging
Another deeper layer of information
Profile viewing and searching
The other levels of donation are basically a tip for the work two of us engage in daily. See the Big Green Button for options.

Re: Becoming a Donor or renewing status
Done.
I'm weird, I should warn you. But I'm fun weird...not like that creepy lotion meme on FB weird, but kind of...ummm...
...how do you get teflon to stick to a pan when nothing sticks to teflon? Who's the guy that came up with idea of rectal exams? What dumbass decided writing research papers was a good way to learn as opposed to something that should be banned by the Geneva Convention as cruel and inhumane? And who the hell decided that the American Psychological Association has the right to dictate how to cite research in said papers...don't they have better things to do like deal with the worlwide mental health crisis as opposed to tell a grad student that they should put periods and semicolons into the reference citations?
