Premium Membership

Suggestions and site feedback

You have done a great job with the Spandex Party website, and I enjoy it immensely. I only wish that we could go back to using a credit card in order to obtain a Premium Membership. It is really so much easier. It could be a recurring membership until you cancel it, and you would not have to transfer money every month which is somewhat of a pain. Thanks again for your hard work on this website and wish you continued success. HotandHorny65

I agree. I would like to get back to premium membership, however the cost and inconvenience of an international bank transfer is not acceptable. Please work on getting a reliable credit card vendor in place. Thanks!

As an interim measure, since you're only taking bank deposits, can you provide additional information for us to use to do bank or wire transfers? For example, one of my resources requires me to input your complete mailing address, another requires your e-mail address. I therefore am unable to send money even though I want to.

Hey all, and thanks for opening this thread! I agree with you. Depending on the country, credit card payments are much more convenient—and to be fully transparent, it also adds a layer of security with charge-backs for the end-user. no question about that. I've been in talks and battling with credit card companies and payment processors for several months (!) now. Since the big regulation revamp 3 years ago¹ the requirement for adult products and websites have drastically changed. It's not about the horrendous fees, I'd be fine with whatever. But one of the requirements from their side is making all users on from our community identify and verify their identity via passport or 3rd party identification services. This is not acceptable and will never happen. I love this community. full stop. And that's why I spent months of getting it back on track and plan on getting it even further! ¹) Maybe you remember when big porn removed Mastercard and Visa payment methods or when PornHub deleted 80% (eighty percent) of all their porn. It does have it good parts for instance it battles revenge porn really effectively. But every other well behaving adult site suffers from this. On the other side, costs need to be covered to keep the Spandex Party going. I know that many aren't comfortable or happy with bank deposits. I'm also researching and talking with alternate earning possibilities that doesn't involve exposing or selling our user data to others; so we get closer to cover the costs. E.g. I don't want to plaster the site with irrelevant ads that only annoys us in the end. I could see collaborations with big gear companies and give special discounts for Spandex Party users and let them know (Wrestling suits, Cycling gear, Amoresy, Thongs)—I personally would love to hear unobtrusively about these offers. I apologise for the wall of text here but let me try to wrap this up: The longer my back and forths with the credit card companies and payment processors take, the less hopeful I'm become. But I keep fighting for it and layed down how much we can comply with these regulations. If there is any development in this area, I'll let you know immediately. And as always I love to listen to your feedback on here, PM or support@spandexparty.com. Cheers!

In this case, due to the onerous nature of wiring or sending funds, would you be open to longer terms (annual plan)?

This could be a very good idea for some of us.

Seconded. It costs significantly more than 10€ in fees to wire from most US accounts. Amazing how intentionally hobbled the system is here.

Maybe a three month or six month pay would work for us.

Even if bank deposits are the only way to go for now, can you provide us additional information we need to be able to make the payments? Even transfer services like Wise require the recipient's e-mail address.

What about anonymous payment in some crypto currency?

Hey man, I'm right now in talks with more alternative payment options. Crypto is one of them. Plus they don't have the same ridiculous requirements¹ as credit cards. ¹) by ridiculous requirements I mean the fact that they require every user on adult sites to provide identification and verification documents in form of their government ID card or passport along with clear face shots. After the credit card companies did a big policy revamp 3 years ago (remember when Pornhub had to delete 80% of their entire porns?—that's because of this). It has good parts, e.g. revenge porn and children safety. But yeah, it's a two sided sword.

Never mind, I forgot to check your "Contact" web page, oops. :P Payment sent, but it appears it won't arrive immediately because it's the weekend now, @spandexpartyadmin. :)

Thank you for this insight! Banking, especially internationally, is a complex topic and I'm no finance expert at all. If you could send me a screenshot of the form that is not compatible with the bank details I provided, please send them to support@spandexparty.com (without any sensitive informations) and I'll try to cover them.

I'm with you here and have heard many other users ask for longer plans as well. For more context: I wanted to start off with a 1 month plan first to see if everything is not exploding apart.

You need to make it easier for us to pay for a premium membership. the way it is now i will never upgrade, just saying give us a simple payment option transaction like via paypal or simple credit card transaction. and watch the premium membership explode as we all want premium benefits, just make it more simple for the non techy types please.

I feel the same way ok-i-give as a credit card would be so much easier.
