How are direct card payments different to just paying with a card?
How are card payments different from just paying with a card?
A direct card payment is the simpler way to pay, such a payment will directly purchase your chosen pack (you can change this pack at any time). With direct card payments, you will also get a 10% discount off any of our new range of packs each time you buy this way.
Paying with a card or a recurring card payment means a chosen amount will be taken from your card and added to your available credit each month. This credit can then be used to buy packs or add-ons. No pack discount is given for recurring card payments.
Both of these payment methods can be changed or cancelled at any time and they are not Direct Debits.
