How would you like the feature to work?

Currently, billing only has 2 options available:

Land, premium, and other recurring fees
Buying L$ in Second Life Viewer

I would like to see one of those split up as two Land, premium, and other reoccurring fees. I would like to see the other reoccurring fees as a separate entity. Some people may want to use a different payment method for their land than their other reoccurring fees (I am one of them and I speak for those who would like the same features but have not spoken up).

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

This feature is important as land fees themselves cost a lot. Add premium subscription on top of that, that makes it that much harder. One is expected to use their Credit Cards. Sometimes Credit Cards have a low credit limit that adding a premium on top of that would make it go over and cause it to decline. Likewise, the same thing with debit cards. some banks allow it but if it goes over, there is a nifty 30-50 overdraft fee - depending on the bank each time. I surmise separating those two options where one is more in control over what bank they want to have the land fees taken out of and what bank their other charges come out of. If one opts to use both with the same card, no biggie. If they choose to separate the two, they could select one for the one thing and the other for the remainder.
