Free membership + upgrading account

1-I did not undestand how do I apply my 10 trial membership days. Anyway, can I do it without putting information like credit cards and other stuff? Because I dont have an international credit card. Actually, I dont see a point in asking them, since in teory, by paypal, I can have a membership without giving them.  

---------     IF POSSIBLE, I ACCEPT TO HAVE MY TRIAL  START TODAY--------

 

2-While I was reading about upgrading, there was a sentence that I did not undestard completely:

"You can change plans any time without losing your membership credit! Simply choose your new plan and your existing membership credit will be applied to your new membership plan."

So, for example, if I upgrade now to gold and I did not like it very much, and, in the same day, I upgrade to platinum and Diamond in the same order. What would be my case, and what is going to happend if I do in other order? Basically I did not undestand how the credits works

Yes, if you have Paypal, you can sign up with Paypal

and you won't need a credit card. You can also use Bitcoin.

However, I am pretty sure that they would charge you the day you sign up if you use Paypal

or Bitcoin and then would have to issue you a refund it you decide not to stay.

As far as how much credit you would get if you switched from Gold to Platinum and then to

Diamond in one day, I am not exactly sure.  I am a Platinum member and have been since

last September, which is 8 months or so. I paid $49 and my account info says I would have

$15.44 of credit if I upgrade, which is something like 31% of what I paid.

That seems pretty fair.

In my opinion the best and easiest is a yearly membership paying with paypal DIRECTLY to chess.com email. I did it that way so it was easier 'cause I could pay directly in my own currency, EURO, and didn't need to adapt into US DOLLAR. You should contact chess.com staff telling you want to pay that way, wait for an anwer and go ahead.

I like the training materials, but especially, 'HOLIDAY TIME' so I can sometimes stop matches for more than a month when I'm busy.

I didn't know there was this payment method with paypal, 'Paying to another paypal user's email'!
