3. At times, a big contribution gets one a gift membership to give, IIRC, but I don't know when.

I have asked the admins to allow this any old time, but it must be a lot of extra effort to do it outside of the big fund drive.

There are small fund-raisers all year long that bag you a membership renewal, and I do that a lot.

Payment has been by PayPal or snail mail but there's a new Stripe option, says EarlG.

I hate PayPal, but I use it as a guest without an account, and I also use ApplePay so that PayPal does not see my credit card number, only some one-time nonsense code that is safe from hackers and embezzlers.

Enjoy the ride. It's very nice without ads and there are other perks.
