Free membership

Serious question. Is there a way to gain free membership? I am Syrian, and with all the disadvantages of being Syrian there is the following, I can't buy anything online. we are a third-world country where buying online was not invented yet. PayPal is banned. we don't have a visa or a master card or any way of paying for any product online. So, I can't pay for a chess.com membership even though I really want to. I do love chess, it is my hobby, and I want to be a better chess player. I really want to be able to access the lessons on this great platform and analyze my games so I can get better at what I enjoy. I would really love to pay for a membership but due to my geographical location(Syria) I can't. So, I was wondering if there is anyway for me to gain any kind of membership (even the golden one) in any other way. Thanks for your time and many thanks for any helpful tips you offer.

I didn't know that was a thing honestly. But even though it is a very long shot

I don't think anyone would buy a membership for a complete stranger (which is me in this case) that they know nothing about.

I would get you one if I wasnt broke lol

Thanks man. It's ok, I don't think I'll ever get it anyway.

Guys! I just woke up to this!! Somebody gave me a free membership as a gift for a month! I can't believe it! I don't know who did it, but I just can't believe it! Please, whoever did this, talk to me, and tell me if there is any way possible to repay you for such kindness! You literally just made my whole year, man! I promise I won't waste that month. I just still can't believe the email that I woke up to. I love this community, man! ❤️

Maybe try download a VPN to pretend you're in a different country to make a PayPal account?

Also could you make a bank account in another country that doesn't require proof of address, ID etc then link a paypal account to that?

I actually got mine and it was gifted to me, when you join certain clubs that will gift a membership if you win a tournament for their club than they will give you one sometimes.

Please give me a diamond pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese

I want to be the top player of my city. So, I want chess.com membership for lessons. Im 10 and can almost beat li in advanced. It would be a pleasure.

I need it

Yours obediently,

can somebody donate me a membership?

Maybe you can try to join some clubs. Some clubs make tournaments where they give membership as prize for winning

Btw I recommend you to play more rapid instead of bullet. Also you can just use the free ways instead of membership. Instead of buying for lessons, you can search up some the title of what they're teaching in google/YouTube. There's also a lot of lessons in YouTube. You can check GothamChess's old videos, remote chess academy, etc. Instead of game reviewing every game, you can open the game you have reviewed and just move as you're playing. I mean you can try to play with yourself as best as you can then the engine will tell you about that move

I would like a gold membership because I want to play all bots. I am currently playing with the Miguel bot but I cannot move my pieces because my membership had ended.

Membership sounds cool but… way difficult to get one
😕

Offer a coaching service to a beginner in exchange for him buying you a membership
