I understand that every woman has a different preference and comfort level with incall vs outcall.  I fully understand that some might not feel safe doing outcalls and some hate that hassles that comes with NYC traffic, opportunity cost in the extra time it takes to get back and forth and that they might otherwise be booking appointments at an incall, etc.  

My question/comment is that when a woman who is both incall and outcall, and charges a premium for outcall, yet does not have incalls booked or always available - wouldn't it seem logical to then offer outcall on those days without the premium?  If a provider is not having to pay for an incall yet has an opportunity for some revenue if a client can host, why then still charge the extra outcall rate?  

And are you going to grill her about her schedule that day so you can justify asking for an outcall minus the surcharge?

Never ever understood the general position of a premium for outcall over incall (unless she is hosting her incall some place that does not cost her incremental expense and even that is only mildly justifiable).  I always thought the women who charge less for outcall had the more sane business explanation.  

My question was genuinely with the purpose of hoping I might hear some pieces of information from the provider side that I had not considered.  It wasn't merely trying to stir the pot, unlike your response.  And, to answer your question honestly, this has happened to me on more than one occasion where the provider did NOT have a definitive schedule posted and I was otherwise unaware of whether she was providing incall or outcall on a particular day.  I would have seen them for an incall appointment IF one was available.  
I just found it odd that multiple women have the same idea about this, that even if they don't have an incall available on the day I was requesting they still command a significant premium in donation for outcall.  

I find many outcall request to be after a certain time that I prefer and rather in bed watching Netflix. So if I’m going to leave my home (which is always a drive for me) then I at least want a minimum amount of time booked or I am really not that motivated to leave. You want what you want when you want on your terms.... most any other service will be extra to come to you. Like Uber eats ☺️

Some ladies charge a premium for outcall for a number of reasons . First an out call takes longer than an Incall.
If she stayed at her place and you booked one hour she is using one hour of her time to see you. If your out call location is not in her building then for her to return to her in call location so she may be able to see another person who could contact her before , durning or after your appointment it's simply more than an hour.  

Second , some people are simply more comfortable in their own space . If someone prefers to be in their apartment for example they Might make it more attractive to come to them.  

Third, some may have to park a car or take a cab to this other location making it more expensive for them to provide the service. Some of us girls do not use hotels and have an apartment that costs X number of dollars a month regardless of use and leaving there taking a cab or using a parking garage is more expensive , period.

Now for the common theme, your alias is gradeinflation, your question is about donation inflation . I'm sensing a theme of you feeling things should be cheaper , not inflated or grading should be lower somehow.  
A provider clearly can charge whatever she wants , guys can absolutely pay what they are comfortable with and choose girls who are at the price point they are looking for . But wanting people to change their comfort zone is not productive.  
Why? Because if you get someone to do something for less you can probably expect their performance to be as well because they have literally been reduced both monetarily as well as emotionally and it will seep out into your session. I  do feel a sense of pessimism in your chosen alias though .

I appreciate your detailed response, genuinely.  To the comment regarding your impression of an alias being a signal that I am treading into other territory with complaints about rates, etc.....  I fully understand it is a free market and have never had a problem with a woman finding her sweetspot.  Definitely not a hater.  The gradeinflation alias has more to do with some reviewers who think "once in a lifetime" applies to 15 women they have seen.  It simply isn't possible.  

Why would any man in their right mind want to go a hooker's incall spot where her bed has been used by hundreds of other men.

Again ESCORTING is a service SERVICE lets me say it again SERVICE industry, maybe you "ladies" should start acting like it

to my booking. Also it takes time to get there and then to return. Did it make sense? xo

I absolutely concur with everything this wise and worldly woman wrote. Appreciate us providers for who we are, what we offer, and our price point... if not find another lady. It’s always more work, time, and energy to service an outcall. Period.

I only have one set of rates listed. If the trip is going to add to my expense I explain in advance that there will be an extra charge. My threshold of cost for any one session is 10%. So basically, the most I will pay to do one session without any extra charge is $40 if I'm in NYC and $30 while I'm on tour. Any session costing more than that for whatever reason will begin to incur additional charges. Sticking to this formula has worked for me.
