Payment Methods – Important
Our electronic payment processor is PayPal. The simplest way to make payment for your subscription or renewal is to use your PayPal account. If you do not have one, you can go to https://paypal.com and create a PayPal account and attach a payment method to it, either a credit card or a bank account. Recent changes to how PayPal processes payments have removed our option to provide guest access to PayPal for payments.
If you do not have a PayPal account and prefer not to open one, you can still fill out the subscription page and click register at the bottom of the form. GGS will receive notice of your registration and will reach out with an email containing a separate payment link.
Renew your Membership
- Memberships cannot be renewed until the expiration date. Members will receive an email on the expiration date with a link to renew and will have 30 days from then to renew. Another reminder will be sent 15 days after expiration. Access to the website will remain throughout the 30 days.
- After receiving the email, click the renew link and log in.
- In the Members Area, select ‘Subscriptions’ to renew your membership. Click ‘Renew’ in the Actions column.
- If you do not see your plan listed or a “Renew” option, your subscription may have expired. There will be an option on that page to return to this page in that case. Then scroll down and select a new plan.
- If you wish to choose a different subscription plan, please click on “remove” to delete your current plan, then come back to this page and scroll down to select your new plan.
