Credit Cards

[AmericanDad]

I notice that a number of ladies in Toronto and now moreso in Vancouver are accepting credit cards for sessions (V/MC/Amex).

Are any Winnipeg ladies looking into this? I'm guessing someone like Oshean could (as she does run a pay/member website).

Any consideration ladies???

Talk about convienent.

With the cash advance ability on every major credit card, there's no need for the ladies to take them. It creates a papertrail for Rev Canada, a link for PI's to track cheating husbands to thier door, and myriad other negatives. But it does get you your airmiles...

I can see the Toronto agency's/outcalls taking Visa, though. It would allow them to nail your card before they send out a gal, especially if they like the bait and switch technique. It would take an industrial size set of balls to dispute the charge with the credit card company afterwards. "They promised me "Blondes, Blondes, Blondes" and sent over a semi-toothless overweight native girl!" (not putting down overweight native girls, one of my fav's happens to be one, but this actually happened to a friend of mine withan agency outcall. He was too horny to complain, but had he prepaid with a credit card, that would be the conversation with Visa).

I would never use a Visa for such a transaction. Its a Cash business, is now, and has been forever. If the governemnt ever gets off its ass and makes it a legitimate business, hell, my Visa would probably melt or catch on fire.

Credit cards are a really bad idea for any pooner with an SO. They leave a paper trail, as others have noted. The other issue, from the pooner's point of view, is that they would be revealing their real name to the ladies, and not many would want to do that.

Some agencies in other cities operate as totally legitimate businesses and actually pay taxes, so accepting credit cards is not an issue for them. If anything, it probably helps them. However, I doubt that many, if any, indies declare their escorting income, so I can't see them wanting to leave a paper trail.

Guys, I'm single - it's not like my wife looks at the Visa statement.

I think there is a major paranoia about "getting busted" in this city. Not worried about a "paper trail" ...

For ladies that actually have "adult entertainer" as a legitimate business with Rev Canada it would not be a problem. As mentioned, ladies that do this as an actual business would not have an issue. Remember, it's not illegal to be an escort or an adult entertainer.

So, my original question to the ladies stands - are any considering accepting credit cards?

 

[ladyluck]

Sure why not

I'd be willing to take credit cards but have a clue how to go about processing using one,Mind you I do have clients that just take a cash advance with their card.What would happen as well if their credit card was declined,,that would also be like giving a freebie. I'm sure you would have to do the transaction the old fashioned way,wouldn't you have to have something to swipe it to make sure it doesn't get declined. With an agency they are set up for that, Hey I should advertise taking credit cards and take them and keep them,,j/k LOL,,,,Holly

 

[ohyeah]

ok i wouldn't usually put my 2 cents in but this is kind of ridiculous.

we guys should really be using only disposable cash for this kind of stuff. if you have to wait till the end of the month to pay, you probably should just wait.

second, the girls aren't going to want to be paid by CC. as any small business owner knows, whatever you get paid in cash is your own concern. stephen harper is not getting his hands on any of it. i am actually happier to know that an indie is keeping all 200 bucks herself than to have some of it go to fund some bureaucrat's wet dream.

Oh Yeah!!

Nothing says lovin like cold hard cash, lol!!!

i had the luck of seeing a PSE in Edmonton a few months ago.

She offered credit card service and I thought ahhhhh what the hell.

Sure enough she shows up at my room with one of those portable credit card machines that pizza companies use......I had to pay gst when using the card.

I would never give a SP my credit card to swipe into her computer or anthing else unless I knew her really well. The lady could get big bucks for selling your card info to others or use it over and over herself. While this may not happen in your case and everything is legit imagine explaining to the cops and the credit card company how you gave an escort your card to swipe.

The sale and purchase of sex is illegal isn't it?

 

[JustAGuy]

Let's imagine that Revenue Canada goes after the escort and decides to apply pressure on all her former customers-maybe they'll interview your boss to ask about your employment income, and then just casually mention that they are interested in you because you are a customer of a prostitute they are investigating.

One of my two bosses, who was into this hobby a full decade before me, would give me an "atta boy!" and maybe a raise to cover the expense. The boss on my other job would probably be so mortified he'd keel over dead on the spot. Hmmmmmmmmmmm .... you've given me an idea here.

So let me get this straight:

1. You DO trust a 16 year old kid that pumps your gas / serves your dinner with your credit card.
2. You DO trust an SP with your genitals and general health / safety.
3. You DO NOT trust an SP with your credit card.

Odd.

Couldn't agree with your post more,,It is in most cases is it not discretion assured from sp's? Not that I'm considrering the cc thing at all,,Holly

 

[charlieb]

You also have to remember...

that even if you trust the SP. Should SHE ever get busted, they can go through her credit card records to pull your name. These records can stay there indefinitely. Who knows how laws will change in the future. Better safe than sorry.

1. Not even close to comparable. Sure he can steal your id but it isn't nearly as embarrassing to report him is it?

2. I take personal responsibility for my discretion and I apply my own level of considered safe conduct. Yes I also trust the lady, particularly when I get to know her or alternativly if she is reviewed and has been around for a while also.

3. Most of the ladies that I class as regulars I would trust with my credit card and more but that was not the picture given in the original post that was the root of my comment. That one was practically a first encounter.
