How does membership work? can they bill me on a month to month basis or do they take the whole amount all at once when u sign up?

It's up to you. Anual is cheaper than monthly.

By a huge amount. It is 40% cheaper.

thanks but that didnt answer the question. I know its cheaper and I save a lot but what if I still want to pay month to month service?

I said it was up to you.

For what purpose exactly?

Put it on your credit card, and only pay 1/12th of the balance (plus the accumulated interest) each month. You'll probably still come out ahead of the 40% price difference.

I guess the above shouldn't be taken too literally. It would be very inefficient.

Wow why is it so hard to get a yes or no answer? lol thanks for all comments but I think I'll just try to contact the site admn.

They are answering you.  You can either pay month-to-month (at the monthly rate) or pay for a full year at once (with a significant discount over the monthly rate).  TheGrobe gave you a way to pay month-to-month with the yearly discount - put it on a separate credit card and pay the credit card an extra amount equal to the monthly cost (plus interest).

Most specifically, if you were to get a diamond membership today.  You could either pay $14 today and pay $14 every month on the 5th (automatically) until you cancel.  Or you could pay $99 today and then not pay again until next Feb. 5th.

If that doesn't answer your question, then perhaps you're not asking it in the right way for us to understand what exactly you mean.
