Providers, how many of you take credit cards. Those that dont, is there some reason that you dont

cash only. no paper trail and no scams. I wonder about the guys always trying to use gift cards and vanilla visa type cards. Like why can they get that and not cash and why do they always try to use gift cards all the time. suspicious. Originally Posted by sue_nami

If your married and using a joint account pulling $200+ plus cash a few times a month might send up a red flag with the SO who checks the account often wondering why you pulled that large amount of cash when most day to day transaction are done directly with your credit/debit card. Purchasing a giftcard can be a little easier to believe by saying its a birthday gift, thank you gift, something for a work party/ giveaway etc.

I accept credit cards/paypal...never had any problems with it

Yes, from about 5 clients in 4 years. They are all regulars and we have an incredibly high level of mutual trust. Originally Posted by YummyMarie

Also there is no shortage of stories and alerts about about yesterdays trustworthy hookers who became untrustworthy real fast when a desperate situation befalls them. Desperate situations are a part of life in the hobby.

And should America go cashless (which is not out of the realm of possibilities) then what? Providers would have to take Visa or MC.

Just wave the chip in your hand over her snatch.... Ding, paid for......

I like chips

I only pay with Apple pay or Google wallet

I have no problem with cash personally but I know others, like myself, that regularly give gift cards to clients and affiliates that work on jobs for me so buying them does not raise an eyebrow. Pulling cash would however.

I think there are a lot that want to scam a whore using a gift card and it's not hard to do. Think about it.

a) Load a gift card with $400. Select one that works with PayPal
b) Send yourself a PayPal Money Request for $300
c) Go see your chosen $250 - $300 whore. at end of session go to bathroom to clean up and ...
c) Accept the Money Request and start the payment process loading the card info into the payment system and clicking to the point of being ready to complete the transaction
D) present card to the whore and say "Hey! I know I owe you $250 and cash is the norm but my boss gave me a $400 gift card. Would you like it instead?" Let greed take over...
E) Whore calls to check the balance. As she smiles and hangup press the Confirm button and presto, the money is back in your PayPal account.

No. I don't think this shit up.... There was a time when I ran some booths at trade shows that sold some product.... It was a scam I had someone working for me fall for. They thought they would take the $400 card for a $200 item, go to an atm to get the $200 to put in the register and pocket teh extra $200. They ended up out $200 and a job....

No matter how many points are made for ways to do it with the different types of CC's or Paypal. You are out of your mind to pay or accept CC's for a sex transaction. Too many possible problems - guy gets busted by wife and her attorney will be able to out provider or provider gets busted then LE will have access to her merchant account. BTW even prepaid or gift cards can be tracked via cameras at Walmart or wherever when you pay for card. Even when you load card via phone or computer. Everything can be tracked these days.

Plus providers to be sure guy will not dispute transaction she needs RW info. You guys ready to supply that????

Cash is best and smartest way.

Scamming a hooker is a pretty dumb move when she has your RW info. Granted there is one guy constantly in alerts who's been pretty successful at doing just that.

The thought of riskiness on both sides seems like it would be a prime reason for providers not to go that way.

Thank you all for the input.

The Dumbest Things People Ever Tried To Pay For By Credit Card

The examples in the link are extreme - not the type of cc use that happens here.

Every text, email and pm here is saved on a Server somewhere and if LE wants it, they can get it.
Oh, and I pretty much do outcall only - any girl I see has my RW info regardless of how I pay.

Again, no matter how hard one tries to be discreet, the hobby is a risky activity and nobody is immune from unfavorable consequences.

April, one of the reasons I'd use a cc is if my hobby budget is used up and there's a HOT 19 year old in town that I'd love to see, ijs...

p.s. paying an Escort for her time and/or a body rub is not illegal - using a cc for legal services is not an issue - paying cash doesn't make a session any less risky.
