Star Sonata Payment Options
There are three methods of payment available for a Star Sonata membership.
Money/Credit Cards
First, you may use money/credit to pay for your membership, using either Paypal, a Credit Card, or a Prepaid Gift Card. There are restrictions on the type of Gift Card that may be used, however, and the Gift Card payment method is still under development.
Referral and Space Points
In your account information, there is a section on referrals. If an account created through your referral link subscribes for the first time, you will receive 1 space point. For every 2 space points, you can choose to extend your own subscription by 1 month.
In-Game Credits
This method is allowed, but the rules clearly state that you are not allowed to talk about this, or announce it in any public chats. All chat, trade chat and galaxy chat are public chats, so you can try to contact people through PMs and ask if they have any information on people that do subscriptions. The following three threads are links to the Star Sonata Forum which gives a lot of information on subscriptions and safely subscribing.
