Subscriptions & Tips Now Available For Supporting Our Work
We've heard you loud and clear. If you want to voluntarily support the R with a monthly tenner, you can now upgrade your membership to do so. Articles will always be free to read no matter what. If you fancy going further you can dip in for $50 or send any amount of $ tip you like.
This website is set up so efficiently it doesn't need money like other publications do (we're not the Guardian or Wikipedia, thankfully). What has become apparent since the launch and immense popularity of the work we're producing is the same feedback request: let us chip in and support what you're doing. One incredibly generous and lovely fellow insisted on giving a writer at the R a full £200 in cash at the pub to say "thank you."
Articles will always be free. There is no charge for reading what we write, and no charge for being a free subscriber who comments and gets newsletters. Subscribing for a dollar amount each month is entirely voluntary.
Even if you're at work at MI5 in Thames House reading this (morning, chaps).
How To Upgrade To A Monthly Subscription
If you're not yet subscribed, select one of the priced subscription options when you register. There's no amazing perks yet, simply because we're still working out whether we want to go down that route yet – but all suggestions are welcome.
If you're already a free subscriber, just log in, click "account," and upgrade your plan.
Click "View plans" once you're logged in.
How To Tip A Custom Amount
When you scroll down to the bottom of the page (after the long list of articles), you'll see a footer menu which looks like so:
The last option, labelled "Tip $" is what you want. Click that, and it will take you to a simple credit card checkout page where you can send whatever you like. There's no lower or upper limit, but just remember to tell the missus or the hubby before you feel generous after a few drinks – it doesn't come with a guarantee of us calling them to say sorry the next day.
