Is there a better site thean p411 ?

It doesn't seem to be as popular here in the Carolinas, but it has been the only verification I've needed for years in most metropolitan areas.  I'm dropping P411, too, since it just adds a layer to the process without the info that other sites like this one provide.

I'm already on p411 and TER. Would I gain anything from also being a member of date-check?

No.
I have both DC & P411 and when I did, I used P411 99% of the time.  Although the calendar feature on DC was very handy, I liked almost everything else better on P411, plus they seem to do a better job of weeding out the providers that have retired or no longer active.  
Unless you head to Chicago, having P411 OR DC will serve you just fine.  If I frequented Chicago, I'd consider RS2K

On p411 I am able to learn more about the gentlemen from their profile

When people write me and give me their p411 info it is so user friendly. Their profile and or picture is there, along with the ladies that have OK them or verified them. If I feel I need more info on this person, then  all I have to do is send one of the ladies a private message without asking the gent. To me it is quicker, more user friendly, which saves so much time in the screening process. And I feel it is safer. Kelle

If gentlemen send your their P411 info via a source other than P411, how do you know it's really them?

I generally find a girl I want to meet via some means, then see if they are on P411. If I find them on P411, I will send a request that way

and have NO issues getting dates.  I haven't had to even give references lately, I just tell the ladies who need info to google my email address, which will lead them back here  

TER is my verification !!

Has anyone determined whether the discounts that some girls offer on P411 is itself worth the price of signing up?

for anyone who asks and is a member.

Any lady offering discounts on P411, well those can be had without being a member, just ask if you can meet their reference requirement

Some girls put an ad up on TER, but many do not. If I'm not a member of p411 am I going to miss finding out about all the girls coming to town?

Same here, but I haven't used the calendar feature. I just have them to make it easy for providers. I haven't had issues in seeing the providers that I wanted to see. Let's face it, touring providers may get 500 emails when they post an ad on TER. I want to make sure I get into the YES pile.
