Already a member?

Follow the three steps below. Nothing is charged automatically — if you do nothing, your membership simply ends when the paid period runs out.

To check your expiry date first, run /status in the community — only you can see the reply.

Three steps

  1. You'll get a reminder by direct message before expiry
    The official bot messages you 14 days and again 3 days before your membership expires — never an @mention in a public channel. Renewing is optional; ignore it if you'd rather not continue.
  2. Handle it in the payment-proof channel
    Pay as described in that reminder, then post your payment receipt in the channel (the screenshot must clearly show method · date · amount · transaction ID). The payment methods currently available are the ones named in the reminder message.
  3. An admin reviews it and your membership continues uninterrupted
    You'll be messaged with the new expiry date once approved; /status shows your remaining days at any time.

Self-service payment on the website is being prepared. When it goes live this page will change to a one-step payment flow and we'll announce it in the community. Until then the three steps above are the only correct way to renew, and the current process will keep working.

A few things worth knowing about payment

  • Amount: $180 per 3-month period, tax not included (applicable taxes vary by country/region).
  • No auto-renewal: nothing is charged when your period ends; renewing always requires your own confirmation (Terms of Service, clause 4).
  • What appears on your card statement: card payments show as LIGHTHOUSE CLUB. That entry is this community's membership fee, not an unknown merchant.
  • Merchant of record and full merchant details: see Terms of Service, clause 16.
  • Refunds: full refund within 7 days of first activation (once per member; not applicable to renewals). A renewal paid in advance can be refunded before the new period starts, not after. Full rules in clause 5 of the Terms of Service.

Beware of impersonation

  • Payment links are only ever sent to you by the official bot inside the community — never from a personal account.
  • We will never ask you privately for a transfer, a verification code, card numbers or a wallet seed phrase.
  • If you receive an unexpected "renewal due" message, check your own expiry date with /status first, or verify with us through the contact form.
