A: Currently, Facebook accepts all major Credit cards and PayPal as a mode of payment for VIP Membership.

A: You will not be charged anything extra upon migration. You will be charged the same VIP Membership fee on your next scheduled renewal date.
Q: Will my monthly payment schedule remain the same?

Q: Why is Facebook initiating a free VIP Membership trial for me? Does it mean I get a free trial till my next membership renewal date?
A: You have already paid Zynga for your monthly VIP membership, and you are entitled to continue receiving your VIP membership benefits until your next renewal date. Upon migration, Facebook will initiate a free trial for you until your next renewal date. This will ensure that you are not charged before your next payment is due and your payment schedule will remain the same.
For Example: If your VIP Membership renewal date is July 25th 2012 and you migrate to Facebook payments flow on July 15th 2012, you still have 10 days of active VIP membership on your account. To ensure you are not charged extra by Facebook, this period will be treated as a free trial by Facebook and you will be charged by Facebook only on July 25th, your next VIP membership payment date.
Q: If I have purchased from Facebook before, do I need to enter my payment details again during the migration?
A: If your payment details are already saved with Facebook, you do not need to enter them again.
Q: Why do I see the VIP membership priced in a different currency on Facebook?
A: If you’ve set a preferred currency other than USD in Facebook account settings, Facebook will automatically convert the current price of the membership ($29.97) into your preferred currency. All monthly payments will also be made in the same currency and the conversion will be based on the current Foreign Exchange rate at the time of the payment.
