I wouldn't mind paying a subscription of, say, 5 or 10 US dollars or a
dollar a
month or whatever, this list is well worth it. But I don't have a credit
card
and a bank draft would cost me NZ$20. I don't really mind that (especially
if I
could pay a couple of years at a go), but I can't speak for other people who
might find getting a bank draft much more expensive.
