Brian,

That is called a business opportunity when not get in touch with them and offer them the service, you can go further, just like we are not remunerated to post on forums, offer to do it at no charge.

I find it weird that you cannot fill an online membership form and pay via Mpesa, VISA, etc. After all, this is CSK. Should they not be embracing technology?
