P411 also has similar option - although its not advertised.  

All you need is one (P411 or DC) if you are on East Coast. R2SK is good for Mid west -especially Chicago.

I am thinking one is all I need.. I think RS2000  was a  one time fee..

I like the P411 system for favorites.. but TER certainly has the best review system..the others aren't remotely close..

I certainly feel that there is a need to be involved with a verification system for provider safety as well as mine..

the lifetime membership on DC for about $129 is the best deal.  P411's edge, IMHO, is that the providers can indicate if they are newbie friendly.  Although that is great for newbs, it's not much help to vets other than potentially lighter screening.  I have both with plenty of references and okays on both, along with my whitelist referrals here.  RS2K is big, as mentioned, in the midwest but not so much elsewhere.  DC and P411 are, I think more widely recognized.

Like I tell the newbies, you can look anywhere, but do the research, and this site is the best for doing that.  I scout both verification sites, have lots of favorites on them as well as here.

Color scheme. Whoever did the graphic design and layout should be out out of their misery. I've logged on twice. Yuck.

at least IMO. You seem to be good sir with what you currently have. But I will agree with some others here, I personally won't 'click' nor stay on any site that is OVER inundated with crap on the it that is just unnecessary and hard to navigate. Loses my business immediately. You don't know what you're looking at or who you are talking to. Ridiculous. Seems like a scam site honestly. Next......

For me, I find using P411 as my primary source for screening plus other valid 'recent' references from providers to work just fine if the gentleman 'is' established. If someone is totally 'new' without anything, I take many other avenues for screening. I don't use TER at all for screening personally. I guess just remember, each lady here uses a different way of screening and verifying so it really just depends on who you are wanting to see.

I am a date check member. I signed up 3 years ago and paid the lifetime membership fee because it sounded like a deal. However, I have never used date-check to find a provider. I don't like the site. P411 is way more user friendly. P411 is also up to date. Date-check has profiles for ladies who retired years ago. If I wasn't a lifetime member I would quit. If I was in your position of being asked for renewal, I would just let it expire.

I found DC to be less user friendly than P411 and left it go when it expired.

One potentially useful DC feature

Is the calendar accessible through "Control Panel".

If you identify providers that tour through your area and flag them into your "Gallery" and if they enter their tour schedule, then when you view your calendar, their availability in your area shows up. I have found this to be a time saver over searching each web site, but because it is dependent upon multiple user entry, it is not real reliable. It is a good quick view of who may be in the area. With the exception of the few long range planners, my calendar does usually not get very populated more than ten days out, though.

I am still undecided about whether to keep DC, though. I am in first quarterly renewal past free trial and it may be last renewal for reasons others have stated.

because the providers that I have seen over the years do give options on how to be verified by them.

I chose to have the provider do the verification. It's quicker and less time consuming than going through the motions of verification sites.  

Why should I pay someone else to verify me when providers don't charge me for verification?

If a provider clearly demands (in ads and/or website) that hobbyist be verified by an outside company, I'd skip them.
