I’m new at this and now that I have a couple of recommendations, I’m looking to get P411 verified, but not sure how to pay for it. Since they will already have a lot of my personal data, do I just bit the bullet and use my CC or what? (Not really worried on SO seeing it, but not sure I like the idea of connecting my real life with my hobby one)
I actually tried to use a gift card to get premium access here, but could not get it to go thru.
So what do the more experience hobbyist recommend or if this has been answered somewhere can you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks

I don't quite understand your reticence, if it's not a SO security countermeasure to use an alternate payment method I'm not sure what the big deal is. P411 is based in Canada, been around forever and is very reputable, this stuff is legal there, and the site doesn't violate any laws anyway in the US or otherwise. Up to you obviously but I wouldn't worry about it.
Either way, good luck and welcome to the Dark Side
