If you pay with BTC, prepaid gift card (paid for in cash) etc.. then there are no payment records from you to the VPN. The benefit of this is that the VPN provider doesn't know who you are because you are accessing the VPN through tor. Yet the VPN provides you a stable IP that won't be CAPTCHA'd like most normal tor exit nodes are. Edit: This is good if you are trying to maintain an Internet profile (i.e. Facebook, twitter etc.) that isn't tied to your true identity.

But you are losing out on some anonymity here. The VPN provider may not know who you are but you are consistently making access with the same user ID and from the same IP. Your activity can be correlated to that account and that IP. If that's not your aim (like you say - being signed in to the same facebook account all day suffers you the same problem) then this isn't an issue. But this isn't what a lot of tor users want tor for.
