Help chapter Trusted members

Help topic What is a trusted member?

When a member buys our Essentials service, they give their name, address and credit card details to our card processor, who cross reference these with the details known by their credit card issuer.

Passing these checks raises our confidence that the member is genuine, and is serious about their membership. It also shows they have no objection to our details appearing on their credit card statements and that their credit card is in good order.

Please note these very important points about our "trusted member" label:

  • just because a member does not have the "trusted member" label, does not mean that they are not trustworthy. It simply means that we have not been given the opportunity to collect their real name and address details.
  • the "trusted member" label should never be taken as proof of identity or integrity. Our normal advice applies to all trusted members.
  • we will never, ever give away the name and address details of any member to any other member, so please do not ask.
  • Our privacy policy applies.

Help topic How do I become a trusted member?

To become a "trusted member" you must purchase our Essentials service using your credit card. This enables our card processor to collect your name and address details and cross-reference them with your credit card issuer. This is all done online at the time of purchase. There is nothing further for you to do.

Your name and address, are strictly confidential and we cannot pass them to anybody else, such as another member. Our privacy policy applies.
