What if you went into a store and decided to pay with cheque but they decided to charge you 20% more, would you still buy it?
See, we had a $29.95 recurring vs $34.95 non-reccuring option in the past and half the new members took the $35 bucks option, even if it's pretty easy to cancel the recurring subscription.

Why? Mostly because this industry like to screw customers, but for the same reason, I would say people will still pay 16.6% more if you give them a 'secure' way of paying the membership.
