I'm over my article limit with the Economist. If only there was a way I could pay for a subscription without a bank account.

Seriously, it would be nice if someone invented a way to make microtransactions on the internet a reality!

And btw they're currently having a BAT giveaway on the Desktop version.

I currently have my 15 giveaway BATs in it (3.37 USD), and it is supposed to give them to site I use?

I'd give some of them to open some paywalls, but not to the economist if they continue to write such vacuus articles.

Maybe give them to open the paywall, then be able to relinquish that payment after having consumed it and it was of low quality.

Could you purchase one of those pre-paid debit cards?
