Become a Fivemile Hill member
Below is some information about how membership and payment work. The button to start the membership is at the bottom of the page.
Why a membership fee?
The annual membership fee of $40 makes it possible to offer an ad-free, tranquil, and trustworthy experience.
We respect your privacy. We don't track what you do. We collect the minimum information to manage memberships and don't share or resell any personal data.
All content is created by us (Tom & Aurélie), without any external funding. We write every word and take every photo ourselves. We don't use AI.
We donate 10% of our revenue to non-profit organizations who support nature and wildlife conservation.
How does payment work?
Fivemile Hill uses Stripe, one of the largest online payment processor, to securely process payments on this website. Stripe has been in business for 15 years (which is a long time for an online payment processor), is used by large companies, and has an excellent security track record with a very high volume of transactions.
The payment link below redirects to a checkout portal hosted by Stripe. At Fivemile Hill, we do not store any payment information on our systems.
Your member billing account is also managed by Stripe. This is where you can download invoices, payment receipts, and cancel your membership at anytime.
Your membership will renew automatically each year, unless you cancel. Stripe will send you a reminder email before your membership is about to renew.
