Star membership renewal - UPDATE -

I know we've gone through this before. I want to renew my star membership but I don't want to pay through pay pal. I click on the "pay with debit or credit card" tab and the form still comes up as pay pal and I have to check that I agree with their terms of service. I don't want pay pal. Is there an easier way to pay for my renew without having to go through pay pal? 🤔

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

ETA: I figured out the problem. I had to uncheck the box for the pay pal protection plan. Once I did, I could continue as guest. This information may be useful to others or even to me when I want to renew next year. Therefore, I won't delete it.

I unchecked the pay pal protection box and I didn't have any problems after that. I will save the link you sent me for future renewals.
