Membership Auto Renewal is super easy. It can be set up as a monthly or annual withdrawal. This can be by checking account or a credit card. We are recommending using a checking account because this has no expiration date like a credit card does, unless you are better at remembering than I am to update every auto payment I have when my credit card expiration date changes.
