Boo Hoo - my post #741 asked about alternative methods of payment. None available and yet I would love to contribute my $$$ and get the stickers. Is there any hope in the near/far future - nearer is better ;> ) Pretty please. I don't do PP.

Sorry Leigh, Pay Pal is the only method we have at this time. The process for stickers is spread over a couple different locations. So having a secure bank or deposit source like Pay Pal (on the internet) makes this type of transaction possible.

The process is not likely to change any time soon.

I am not sure what your objection to PP is. I use it all the time. Its secure and guaranteed. I recently by accident bought from a Co in Thailand and found out later IT was a Scam. Because of PP I was able to retrieve my payment.

You can follow the instructions as if you are using PayPal and you will see the option to use a credit card on about the third page you get to.

Hello, this is the best money we spent. This forum is invaluable for airstreamers.
Wonderful people , great advice and we get all this for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have donated and sticker or not we are so happy to have this viable forum.

How about having an address where one can send a check. We have used paypal and then or card was stolen. I believe it was for an ebay transaction. NOt sure what is safe but you are legally not repsonsible if someone racks up money on your credit card and it is not you. You should monitor the card activity 1x a week to be sure and then if suspicious just call the credit card com with mastercard or Am ex. you are not responsible. by the way the person who stole our card even sent us junk that we ddi not order.

Getting Away this is the only forum I know of and it is the best.
I will keep my mouth closed regarding the 55 dollars we pay for WBCII . when you call them they are worthless and I say let's just have Aistream forums. but that is just my opinion and we all have one. I l ove this forum the people invaluable and i am happy to pay to keep it alive.

I guess one day I will see them - I thought they would be here but I guess not. Oh Well

I dropped off the latest set of decals at the post office today. The mailing covers contributions made from August 22nd through October 17th. Hopefully most of you will get the mailing prior to Friday. Those of you in Canada may get yours a little later since I've never gotten a handle on how long mail takes to get to those of you in the great north country.

mwells4654 · 10-26-2009, 06:13 AM

Thanks - I will be very glad to see mine.

GettinAway · 10-27-2009, 04:32 AM

OK, now I will have the sticker for the back window..
How do you get the big numbers for the front?

pinktrailer · 10-27-2009, 05:55 AM

I went through this process a couple of months ago, and nothing happened. What did I do wrong?

Do you have any of your Paypal receipts showing the contribution? I went back through my reports to May and your name wasn't on my decal lists that I mail from. If you can give us the date you made your contribution, Andy can check his side of the order process.

If you mean the red numbers, you need to be a member of the WBCCI. There is a local St. Louis Unit if you are interested. Greater St Louis, Missouri Unit WBCCI
We also have a forum member who has created blue numbers which some have used in place of the red numbers. Each Forum member gets a sequential number when they register on Airforums. Here's a thread on that topic.

Thanks Jack,
I do NOT want to open up a can of worms regarding the different numbers, but is one more oriented towards the vintage AS and towards the later models?
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

Nope. The WBCCI group for all intents is a social group, whose roots were tied to traveling in organized groups. Each local unit has their own identity although there are some formal subgroups within WBCCI. For example the VAC (vintage airstreams) caters to owners who have Airstreams that are 25 or more years old. To join VAC you must also belong to WBCCI. I was part of the local St. Louis WBCCI group until I had a falling out regarding the need for change in the local organization.

Airforums has no organizational structure. We are a privately owned web forum with no officialdom other than those of us who are moderators or administrators that take care of the day to day management of this site. Many of us organize rallies and other social events, but technically these are gatherings of like minded individuals. Anyone can do a rally. In WBCCI it follows some strict rules that dictate who may attended and how things get run.

Folks like Devoman came up with the idea of doing a numbering system similar to WBCCI for Airforums members. Since the forum software automatically assigns you a number when you register, he thought it would be neat to put that number on trailers, so in essance we have the blue numbers. Personally I don't want to put numbers on the aluminum due to the fact that it creates a ghosting effect over time. You will see many older airstreams around without the red numbers, but carrying the ghost of where the numbers used to sit.
