How to buy your points and status
You can get to the points shop via the main navigation bar by clicking "Buy Points". You'll also find the option to buy points underneath any content you can't see because you don't have the necessary status.
Step 1: Choose the right package
In the points shop you can choose between packages, each of which give you a different amount of points every month.
The packages are named so you can easily tell which package gives you which status (at the minimum). With the Silver package, for example, you'll get Silver status at the very least, every month.
What's more, you can choose how long your package runs for, either 3 or 12 months. The price shown is for the complete package for all the months combined.
Step 2: Confirm the order
As soon as you've decided on a package, click the "Buy now" button. A window will open with the Terms & Conditions, which you'll need to accept.
You should also activate automatic renewal for the package. This means that after the 3 or 12 month period is up, the package will be automatically renewed and you won't lose your status.
Click the button "Continue".
Step 3: Pay via credit card, bank transfer, Moneybookers...
You can pay in the shop via credit card, bank transfer, your Moneybookers account and a few other methods.
Our shop uses Moneybookers as a "payment provider" to complete the transaction. Moneybookers makes the different payment methods available and ensures the purchase goes through securely and quickly.
However, that doesn't mean you need a Moneybookers account. You can also pay via credit card, bank transfer and other methods. Moneybookers simply ensures the payment is processed correctly.
After you've chosen your package with us you'll be taken to the Moneybookers website. You can log into your Moneybookers account and pay or pay using a different method, as mentioned.
Step 4: Get your first points directly
After completing the payment you'll be forwarded to our page again. You should also have received your first points by then and be able to call up the content for your new status.
Note: the package begins routinely on the first day of the next month. You'll also receive the status you've earned for the current month. If you purchase a 3-month Gold package on 2nd January, you have Gold status for February, March and April. You'll also receive points directly and keep Gold status for the remainder of January.
Asynchronous payment: if you've chosen an "asynchronous" payment method (such as bank transfer), you'll receive a "Payment pending" message. In this case, you need to complete the bank transfer before you can continue. You can read more about what this message means in the FAQs at the bottom of this page.
How to upgrade your status
An upgrade gives you more for less money
If your active points package isn't enough, you can simply upgrade to a higher points package and even save money in the process. You can find out just how much you'll save by going to the points shop via the "Buy Points" button on the main navigation bar.
How the upgrade works
In principle, an upgrade works like a normal purchase. Find the package you want to upgrade to and click "Buy now". The same window appears as earlier with the order confirmation and you'll be directed to Moneybookers to process the payment.
As soon as the payment is completed, your old points package will be cancelled and you'll receive points directly from your new package.
The same rule applies here: the package begins routinely on the first day of the next month. You'll also receive the status you've earned for the current month. If you purchase a 3-month Gold package on 2nd January, you have Gold status for February, March and April. You'll also receive points directly and keep Gold status for the remainder of January.

"Payment pending" – what does this mean?
In many cases you'll get the message "Payment successful" as soon as you've paid via Moneybookers and you'll be able to access the new videos and articles etc. straight away.
However, sometimes you'll also receive the message "Payment pending". This could be for one of the following reasons:
- You haven't paid at Moneybookers, this could be because you closed the site. In this case, either complete the payment or simply wait a short while.
- You paid via bank transfer. In this case you need to complete the transfer first.
- Moneybookers may be carrying out a security check. This generally happens if large amounts are being transferred or if you've activated the "Renew automatically" function on your points package. In this case, Moneybookers checks your account and the payment for your own security. You should receive further details via e-mail from Moneybookers in this instance.
- You've activated automatic renewal for your points package but paid via bank transfer. When the package is renewed, you'll automatically return to this status, as you'll first need to make another transfer.
