The Elves now accepting VISA?

The last time I tried to get an escort to accept a credit card, she punched me in the face for swiping it in her crack. All kidding aside, though, what are the thoughts of the more experienced members of the hobby. Is this a good idea, or something that can lead to a bad papertrail?
And American Express, Master Card and Discover.

I am sure they are trying to make it easier and more convenient for the guys, but there is no way in hell am I going to give my credit card number out for a date.

Unless you put the funds on a prepaid card and shred the card after using it.

Absolutely skylar, even if you purchase a hobby phone with a crdeit card or debit card, you are easily found out. Purchase your hobby items with cash. Casmeras will not be able to determine who is who, but the computers never lie. I can inquire how a certain phone number was purchased, even a hobby phone, and once i have that I have everything on you.

No way in hell I would pay for this with anything else than cash, just me. You guys do what makes you feel best. Then again I have never even had a provider over to my house, cuz I know once she has my real address she has everything on me.

Not me but "Diners club" might be more appropriate for some of you guys.

Has a provider (or manager/assistant) ever seen the license plate on your vehicle?

Have you ever been followed, unknowingly, from an incall location?

Have you ever been recorded by a hotel hall camera, entering incall rooms?

Have you ever slipped and left an identifying addressed envelope laying in open site?

I certainly agree with the "cash" security plans... especially with hobby phones... and of course with play fee payments... but if someome really wants to fuck with you... cash security ain't all that...

We should all keep discretion high in our thoughts... and keep stupidity ALARP.... but 'ya gotta realize we are playing a risky game, here!!

Interesting idea. Looks like I'll be accumulating travel points a lot quicker now. This kinda brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "what's in your wallet".

Mr. giz you make some good points and I have been very leary in the past when a lady asks me to park in a certain spot. I try to park on other side of hotel and walk around, to protect which vehicle is mine. I do not want her seeing my license plate. But some prolly have, lol. I agree if they want our info they will get it, but I do not have to make it easy, lol.

How does accepting credit cards really make it any easier? I always figured just put the donation in a sealed addressed stamped envelope to a charity organization. That way if I walk into a sting LE couldn't open the envelope and wouldn't find any cash or cards on me in a search. Is free sex illegal?
I'd be concerned about giving my card number out and getting ripped off. Now Riki the Elf can stalk me anytime.
