Credit Card Payment

Exactly!! One can call after they fked the provider, cancel transaction and have gotten a free session!! Originally Posted by shorty

I think providers only do that with trusted hobbyists. Yes some of us do trust each other. Originally Posted by Mr.Chan

It would have to be a gift card/anonymous card to be safe. Originally Posted by Rockydoc

All I get afterwards is a dated electronic receipt with their signature, a transaction number and the last 4 digits of the card.

I've taken CC's as payment on many occasions, without incident.

And while I won't specify exactly what my billing shows up as...let's just say it's something that's classified as general retail and can easily be justified as a repeat transaction without alarming a SO.

Well I guess you change your transaction cover to Gingers All You Can Eat Buffet!

I take them. Either as deposits or payment.

Rather this than carry around thousands in cash or blank money orders.

edit: These usually involve extended or special dates and often travel/special arrangements/"extra" supplies one use/custom stuff etc.
I've said this before but there are three things for certain in life. Death, taxes and me not ever hobbying via a credit card.
