I agree this is an interesting addition. It's a way to gather small donations from your subscribers, and anyway to do that is good. Once they've already decided they will pay $1 (or whatever) for a month it's always a good time to ask them if they are willing to pay an extra $1 just to say thanks.
It would also be nice if you could assign ranks to payment levels. So if they pay 5 they get one rank, if they pay 10 they get another... without having to create, as you said, dozens or hundreds of subscription types.
Now, it just so happens that I want to add a feature to the subscription system also. I want trail memberships. Basically, a free membership for x number of days that can be purchased only once by any given member. If re-occuring then it will bill them the next time around. Pretty standard tactic.
So, I've decided to code this. I need to think through the features a bit (suggestions are welcome), but I should be putting it together and offering it here on the org sometime in the next few days.
