I don't know how it is in New Zealand, but in the US, you can get pre-paid credit cards from grocery stores and drug stores.  You can get a credit card with $50 in it, say.  You can use it for purchases, but it will work only up to that $50 limit.  Once it is out of money, there are no additional bills or money that you are obligated for.

Spyrox, if you do get a subscription, I invite you to try out the special events "This Day in WWII" (next one runs on Dec. 7th) and scenarios, which are historical events.  We'd be very happy to have you fly with us in them.

Some examples of past scenarios are here:

I'm from NZ too, and I'm struggling to understand your angst.

Pay or do not pay, there is no possibly pay.

exactly what I was thinking :aok  I think some you can add money to also, so if you wanted to join pay the subscription and say next month you cant, you just dont have to add money to the card.  I used to use one like this years ago before I got a credit card

Okay, I'm just considering subscribing normally, and perhaps emailing hitech to only charge me for the one month? Not sure if they would like this, but if all goes well, I may continue into the next month. (I will see how I enjoy the game again before sending the email). Hopefully I'll be flying later on in the day. :)

In the past, HTC would give you an extra month if you prepaid 6 months in advance.
Not to thread jack, but are there any official pre-pay options for savings?

Spyrox, I invite you to join us in a little over a week for a Pearl Harbor event.  (It will not have the US only in AA positions -- is more of a "what if" the US hadn't disregarded radar reports.)  It runs in Special Events II arena on December 7 at 8:30 pm Eastern US time (which is 2:30 pm on December 8 for New Zealand).

Spyrox, if you give me a date and time, I can assist you in the Training Arena.

A few minutes with a Trainer can be extremely valuableas the masses in the Main Arena won't review the dogfight in slow motion, but will end the fight as fast as they can.

Actually getting one kill for only eight deaths ain't that bad for the beginning. Seriously.  :aok

Not even going to read this . You want to play you got to pay . You will find that in many ways of life . We got people in our squad that pays and don't even play . Don't be cheap if you like something .

Might a little late here but unless something has changed you can prepay via check with out giving HTC a credit card.  I played this way for many years back when I started out and was a poor college student.

Would be very happy to do this, I will most likely be available anywhere from mid day tomorrow for at least 12 hours, you will probably be in Bed right now.

Flench, this is why you should read before you post in a thread.

The whole thing was, yes I want to play, and yes I'm willing to pay, which I have done so now, I just was a bit on edge about it automatically billing me every month.
