english premium account help please

ok bit of a strange one but are there any English people out there that have a premium account and how much is it p/m as all i seem to find is the charges in US$ and not £ sterling sorry if this isn't in the correct place but i have been looking for ages to no avail and i have been considering upgrading my account from basic to premium ty for any help!

Use an online cash converter to work it out. You will also need it when buying L$

I'm english and have a premium account. We pay in US$ and not in sterling. The exchange rate varies, of course, but you should be able to find out how much it is roughly by doing what Windsweptgold suggested.

Just fill in your payment details (credit card) and LL will take the right amount.

Also don't forget VAT will be added and that your credit/debit card company will probably also charge a small currency conversion fee which may vary from company to company.

If you decide to pay quarterly or annually you can reduce LL's overall monthly charge and cut out a few conversions.

I'm in UK and pay quarterly ($US 25.8 which in January was charged at £18.32 on my card, so approximately £6 per month for me atm.

ty for your replies i have now just set up payment with paypal ,so would i be able to pay my account with that or would i need to set up another way to pay? sorry to keep asking so many questions! and in reply to windswept i was using paypal to get my lindens previously through a third party but have now used my paypal direct through linden labs!

As long as LL is linked to your Paypal, and Paypal has your bank info, you won't have to do anything else. Let Paypal worry about the exchange rates and else... LL will submit a charge to Paypal and Paypal will take the correct amount of L from your bank acct. depending on that day's exchange rate.

so in theory i can just upgrade my account with linden knowing my paypal details and leave it at that then, is that right? i have previously used my paypal to get lindens but with a 3rd party so paypal has my bank details and i have registered my paypal to LL now about 30 mins ago

Yep, that's it.

cool i may have a premium account in a couple of days then ty for your help everyone

There is little advantage to having a premium account

really, why? from my understanding you get full help and support and also a weekly stipend of L$300 and a registration bonus of L$1000 is this correct?

the only real reason to be motivated to spend your money on premium membership is so you can own mainland and not have to rent from someone else.

yes, right now we still get a stipend of L$300/weekly, which is really only financially beneficial if you sign on for the full year in advance. i am not certain they are still giving away the sign up bonus when you upgrade.

hmm may not be as beneficial as i once thought! ok thanks for all your help i will take some time and digest the idea thanks again everyone!!

If you don't want land on mainland you can donate that tier to a group (which gets you way more kudos than you'd expect) or sell it to someone like Elanthius for a bit more cash.

You also need to be premium to get real tech support from Linden Labs. And while a lot of people bitch about the support being useless I haven't found that myself. Your mileage may vary.
