I've emailed them about it already. I did renew via paypal, but emailed them about not being happy about being unable to use a card accepted everywhere else in the store for it. "DAZ's Visa/MasterCard processing company won't let them sell an annual membership through them." So does that mean there is a middleman when it comes to card processing? I'm not sure how merchant accounts work, but as far as I am aware there is no processing company involved who dictates rules to you since that's done with the bank you're at. So I take it to mean there is no merchant account. Also - the monthly one is also an annual subscription, only you pay it in installments. The same rules apply other than paying a higher lump sum up front. You pay $29 instead of $69 up front, but the fact remains that you have to commit yourself for a year. The whole thing just seems very silly to me.
