Hi - Please tell me how to buy a membership for someone else?
 
Hi Susan,

I just PM'd Greg when I did this and let him know who it was for. Then I went through the normal procedures with PayPal and made the payment. I got a confirmation from him when it was complete that that person's membership was paid.
 
Go to the top of this page and click on User CP. Then go to Paid Subscriptions at the side and click on that. There will be a place that you can click on for donations or to donate to another member. Click on that. You will need to go ahead and set this person up (pick their screen name and all that), then email Greg and tell him so he can activate them. Remember, their email can not be an AOL account. I had trouble getting a new girl signed up on here and that was why.
 
why can't it be an aol account? What's the deal with that?
 
I have no idea, that is just what Greg told me. I paid for my recruit, but every time she tried to sign up it wouldn't let her. I emailed Greg and told him and gave him her info. He said AOL accounts were not allowed.
 
i had the same problem with my aol account. I had to use my yahoo account, which i created when i was still working with autism teachers and kiddos, so it's a weird email address for a tpc.

For whatever reason AOL has blocked all incoming email from chefsuccess.
 
Well, maybe if they lose enough business over it they will reconsider. I wonder what else they block. Seems like it would be to their benefit to let the customer have the choice of what they want.
 
Gee, glad I am no longer on AOL!
