I accept deposits via ,its great...
Also Western Union is good , if the provider is the cardholder. sending $ to the card is anonymous via the prepaid services form for credit cards.the fee is also lower rather than wire transfer.
I will only use western union for deposits. Mainly because if she can't come through or has an emergency which will prevent the meet, I want my money back in the fastest way possible. And I don't want to go through the hassle of buying and canceling temporary credit cards........
Usually I assume the ladies get one of their homegirls to pick up the money for them, but most ladies who required them just used their real name to pick it up. It requires some level of trust that is above most thresholds though, and I wouldn't suggest everyone do it, but it works for me.
I only use them for overnights or if I am being asked to fly to see someone in another city. If any provider is that crazy to trust a guy she has never met to actually pay her flight expenses after she gets there...well, I feel sorry for her lol.
I have never had to give out my real name for anything. Green Dot and postal money orders are very discreet, and that's all I have ever used. I book my own accommodations.
All I will say is no deposit, no guarantee of anything. Many of us are tired of being told bs excuses of why guys had to cancel...bs or not, we are out of money we could have made with someone else. I don't book again with anyone who cancels on me for any reason...just my policy. They can pay a fee to cover expenses that will be deducted from the date when it takes place, or see someone else and cancel on them.
You can bet your azz if they even spend a hundred bucks, they will make that next date lol! Pretty sad actually.
Mine is not a deposit, its a retainer fee. You're retaining my service, its non refundable. Unless I cancel. This for over nights, out of town, travel type dates. Locals no need.
I dont take half, say total is $2500, Id take a $500 retainer fee to secure our time together.
Green dot is by far my preferred way of sending money--for a deposit or most anything else.
I have no problem with a deposit if I'm asking a lady to put out a significant amount of money up front, but then I only would do that with someone I already know/trust. If I don't already trust them I'm not about to invest a large sum in seeing them.
Most the time if I'm going to fly her somewhere I already know her name so it's not been an issue. I'll send her the deposit or I'll make the flight arrangements in her name.
Keep in mind that GDot is only used in the US. Sure, you can use the gdot site in other areas, but that pretty much destroys the whole anonymity thing.
I do require deposits for travel, just enough for the round trip flight and one night's accommodations if my date gets held up somewhere. Since Gdot cards are registered to a ssn (at least I think they are now?), I find it easier to use cash cards.
