That aside, we're pleased to announce that you can now subscribe to reddit gold via Google Checkout! In fact, as of today we're declaring it to be our preferred method of payment. There are two caveats:
- Google Checkout only officially supports non-recurring payments. In other words, you'll have to manually re-pay every time your subscription runs out. They'll be removing this limitation in the coming months, but for now it's still in beta, and we're reluctant to mix "monetary transaction" with "possibly buggy."
- There's a stupid "I agree to let reddit send me spam" checkbox that Google will show you right before you complete the transaction, and the default is "Yes!" There doesn't appear to be a way for us to change this, but we will as soon as we can and we promise not to send you any spam, even if you forget to uncheck the box.
As always, the details and signup links are at /help/gold.Thanks for supporting reddit!
