Premium Access - ?

I've been a member and contributor here for over 5 years, with premium access for most of that time by some combination of reviews and paid access. Since the return of ECCIE, I seem to have very limited options to regain this access.

The Illinois/Chicago forums are not yet back, so there is no logical place or way for me to submit a provider review, and there is no current means of paying by credit card. Other returning sites have been able to resume credit card payments, so I like to believe that this should have been resolved by now. I have no knowledge or desire to pursue the bitcoin payment system, and don't like the thought of sending a check in the mail. Am I missing something here? There is also the minor question of the long term continuation of the site and subsequent loss of money, like I have already experienced with the demise of several other sites.


I do wonder about the system of prioritizing the work to restore the various State and City boards, since many of those already restored seem to have significantly fewer potential benefactors than Illinois/Chicago. Nothing against those other areas, of course, but can something be done here? Thanks!

Post an encounter report in a geographic area other than Chicago and make a note in the physical description that it should be moved to Chicago as soon as that site comes back online. This per the instructions of a super moderator in my area. See https://eccie.net/showthread.php?t=2372165 you'll get your premium access pack. I did this with a provider I saw in CT https://www.audreyyork.com/schedule/ who, BTW, will be visiting Chicago next month. If she's your type, I highly recommend.

This thread will give you several options on how to get PA until an alternate to CC billing is either fixed or replaced with another option. Good luck
