Paying for sessions via Credit Card...What do you think?

I decided to keep the option of paying via cc available...Have only used it once, a nice guy really wanted a session and his bank card was not an option (for some reason he was not able to get cash from an atm, card lost or messed up...something) anyways, he paid with his American Express card, the money was immediately on my account and I immediately transferred it to a prepaid debit card with no problems. It worked out ok this time, he got his session...I got paid. Both parties happy. He was not worried about a paper trail because he was not in a relationship. So, I guess it is an ok thing in some situations.

I accept CC but only with regular clients who do not mind me getting their signature on a receipt so they cant do a charge back. Most guys who pay with CC for me are bachelors, widows, their wives don't give a fuck or he gets his credit card statements sent to his office. I deal with paypal and another cc processor I don't use it alot but it helps with deposits since I don't have time to wait for a money order to come in the mail.

I don't give new clients the option for paying to the full session in CC because I could see how that could be a headache in the future.

A friend in the retail business got a chargeback from Amex on a charge that was over a year old - the fucker said the product didn't last!? Time will tell if you've given a freebie!

I pay for EVERYTHING BUT providers with Amex!
