Has anyone ever tried this method of getting subscriptions to your sites?

It would seem like it could be something additional to offer surfers who may be maxed out on their credit cards, sending cash, bankers draft or checks through the mail and once the funds clear, actually create a username/password for them.

Do you think this could work given the current state of the economy and how many people are maxing out their credit cards to pay essential bills like their electricty, internet, phone, etc?
