As of today, we’ve canceled credit card donations. The processing service was becoming prohibitively expensive, and most donors used Paypal, Venmo, or mail. That is unchanged. Their transmission fees are much smaller.
Credit card donors will receive an e-mail notifying them of the cancellation. I hope those whose credit card donations are canceled will consider re-subscribing or donating through Paypal, Venmo, or the mail: Jon Katz, Blog Support, P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
We need your support. Thanks.
For details, you can go to the Support The Blog site on the blog. I appreciate your support, and this money can be much better used than going to credit card transmission companies. The cost was becoming more significant than the donations. – jon
I understand and support your decision to discontinue receiving blog support via credit card. I do not use Paypal or Venmo, so I will switch to a yearly check in the mail, with the intention of remembering when the time comes in April 2025.
Thank you for your thoughtful, entertaining, life-giving commentary and photographs.
Thanks Deborah
