For family members or those concerned about card statements
How it appears on your credit card statement is not explained in the official MyFans help. If you're concerned, it's best to buy a small item once and then check the card company's statement for details.
- Prepaid BitCash lets you pay without using your card statement (note it cannot be used for the first-month discount plan).
- Invoice emails for atone and postpaid are sent from each service, not MyFans.
Areas prone to stumbling blocks in payment
- As a general rule, plan renewals are paid with the card you used when you joined. Even if you delete your card, your plan will not be canceled.
- For credit card payments exceeding a certain amount, the first-month discount will not be applied.
- When paying in overseas currencies, the exchange rate is set by the card company, and there may be additional overseas processing fees.
