debit?

[zorobaby 4121]

i always wondered... do some sp's/ma's accept debit? i saw a movie yesterday (cant think of the title) and the escort the guy saw had a portable debit machine and i just thought it was funny, got me wondering though... do some girls take debit/credit?

 

(btw, first post, let me know what you think)

[whiteman 14028]

Independents don't, but some MP's do. I don't know if anyone actually makes use of these things though.

[roamingguy 300292]

I don't know, but I think most (if not all) ladies prefer cash.

Cash is king, makes things easier .

Why complicate what should be simple

I think there was more or less consensus on an earlier thread that it would make sense to take a few minutes and stop at a debit machine on the way to the rendezvous. Then there's no hassle or question by giving her the cash.

Also most SPs and their visitors do not want to have a record that can be traced for such encounters. Debit machines are almost everywhere... :)

Some gentlemen like to take advantage of interact email money transfers especially when it involves a fairly large amount... Obviously, the transfers are made prior to a scheduled rendez-vous and sent to a discrete email address.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't want the name of a MP showing up in my monthly statement.

 

I know some MPs do take debit for the door charge, they may even give out insurance receipts for the massage. But I don't think any MP owner/manager would, in his/her right mind, leave a paper trail by letting a customer put additional funds in his/her business account to be withdrawn and given directly as a tip to a MA.

I've also done the interac money transfer on a few occasions. IMT in advance & cash are the only two things I'll accept. I have no motivation to invest in a debit machine as I don't see how that would help me or the people I see,

Totally understandable. For me, being single, if someone found out I'm seeing beautiful woman, so what LOL

But I like keeping it simple, both for me and the lady, and I think most ladies like it that way too

And it is not that simple to set up, fwiw, and usually involves some kind of monthly fees and certainly transaction fees. You need a biz account, which needs an incorporated business, and lets face it not every sp is going to the trouble to set all of this up in order to take debit (or CCs) when clients are always encouraged to use cash, and there is an ATM on every corner it seems.

Actually, it's not that complicated. All you need is an eMail address to send the funds to and a prearranged security code between the sender and the recipient. The rest is done by the recipient. The recipient must have an account with one of the big 5 banks or the "caisses" in QC. 1.50$ flat fee per transaction. But don't expect instant transfer. There is an approx. 30 minute delay from the time the sender does his end of the deal until it shows up in the recipient's eMail where she can deposit in her account.

 

It's a lot easier to find a nearby ATM.

And don't forget some banks show the eMail recipient in the monthly statement. Imagine seeing a 200$ Interac transfer going to SexxxyUknowWho"at"somewhere.com on your statement!

[Paradise Spa 24019]

We take debit at Paradise at front reception. We also have bank machines at both Angel's & Paradise and I can only speak for our businesses but on the ATM transaction slip there is no business name,no address, just a serial number for discretion reasons :) So I would think it would be the same for other agencies who ensure discretion.

[zorobaby 4121]

lol, seems i have sparked quite the thread lol.i understand that for indy sps and for agn sps it would be harder to carry debit lol since it costs 1000$ just for the machine, but i thought some mas would have them.i have a business and i know when i set mine up you didnt need to have any information on the receipt or even on what shows up on your monthly statement, my store comes up with a serial number like paradise does. i was just to lazy to set it all up proper lol

I once was involved in selling wireless technology associated with a major Canadian carrier and one of the technologies they were just rolling out at the time was the ability to consumate Mastercard and Visa transactions over the phone. The idea was that contractors and such could process payments at the job site. It does not require a lot of imagination to see how that could fit into this discussion. In fact, that was the first thing I thought of when I first encountered it.

 

As previously noted, the user has to have a business account and there are processing fees involved.

 

The $1.50 transfers mentioned are effectively peer-to-peer transactions.

 

I agree with the general response that it is far simpler for the guest to stop by one of those magic machines that dispenses money. Simpler for all concerned. Not to mention that it makes paper trails disappear.

Sorry, I was talking specifically about debit machines transactions, rather than the email transfer process. That is simple and actually used quite often. The other, as I describe.

[Katherine of Halifax 113932]

I have accepted my donation once this year by personal cheque. Granted this might not be for everyone, but I have a very solid and trusting relationship with this gentleman so of course it was not a problem.

I'd much rather consummate the transaction in person... :D

[Nicolette Vaughn 294340]

Although convenient, what a mood killer that would be.lol.

 

I've had clients send me email money transfers but to actually get a debit machine like Fortunateone said would mean registering for a business license and everything else that comes with it. It's not a necessity in our business when there are cash machines everywhere and this is one business where you would not want to leave a papertrail.

[goodtimes 423]

Is this day and age I would think the SP's/MP's could easily accept email transfer. For me, it would be preferred plus the service provider would be guaranteed that the client would show up.

[Telywho 100]

I would think that for most people, discretion is a top priority. Not for all, but certainly for most. Thus, cash. Even if there is a cash machine on the premises that leaves a discrete print out (as Paradise mentions in an earlier post), one never knows when it will lead to questions. Thus for maximum discretion, pay with cash.

[dominoeffect 1077]

I think Debit is a great way to accept donations... just my two cents.

Like most of you I use the ATM. I found it really uncomfortable walking around with all that cash on me. Now I withdraw smaller amounts over the course of a week. I do not like credit cards so I would be interested in "debit transactions" if it was available. Since I tend to stick with just one SP (Long term). I would also consider paying by cheque.

What about an interac money transfer before the session?

Megan, I am not familiar with "interac money transfers". This would interest me if it is not too complicated to set up. It would also depend how the transaction is recorded. (For discretionary purposes).
