It's that time of year for me, so searched round to find the non-UK (not being ripped off) way to pay.

This time I used Cachebox to buy a 12 Month Premium Membership for just £19.99

Not sure why GS feel just because you are outside the USA, you have to pay a Premium at £24.99 for the same thing

GS claim it's VAT related...

Did read somewhere (can't remember where) that renewing via iPhone app/Apple Store is also cheaper, as Apple is registered in Holland. (Where, interestingly, the Dutch also have VAT)

They need a new calculator then, current VAT rate is 20%

What is it they say in the USA - you (not you of course B&R) do the Math

Not much point saving £1.37 if you have to pay for postage and wait?

I can't see either. Did you have to pay postage walktall?

Last year I used this place highlighted by Pir8sOld&New..
www.worldcaching.com/premium-membership-gift-card-12-month-p-1020/
Didn't have to pay postage on that one, they just emailed me a code. None in stock currently though

Will keep an eye on it.

Odd talking about p&p, as this was the page I ordered from. Without going through it, there must have been an option for digital delivery.

Anyway, sounds like you all have managed to get it via digital delivery

I thought my membership ended at end of October but it is actually end of November. So I haven't tried it yet.
