I would never give cc information or pay a depost. (Very few exceptions, ie deposit for travel, for someone I already met, but never by cc info , and never to someone I never met) My first reply to you was going to be, "You have 6 reviews! How is it that you don't have references?" But then I looked at your reviews and I see why.

Think about joining P411 or one of the other verification sites. Then look for ladies who are on those sites who will use that info for screening and not require deposits.

in the bargain section.  I'm really new to this, but this seems to be a business where you generally get what you pay for.  And the more bargain hunting you do, the more problems you can POTENTIALLY run into.  I've read a lot of reviews from some of the lower cost providers and a lot of their clients (and the providers) take too many chances IMO.  One of your reviews mentions another person possibly in the bathroom during a session.  If that were me, my penis would have had to catch the next cab because my ass would have been out of there!  It just seems there is a lot more carelessness at the lower price points.  Everyone has their own boundaries, of course, and I'm a big "to each their own" kinda guy.  It's just an observation from a newbie.  

As for me, I don't think I'll ever do anything in this hobby that requires anything other than cash.  No matter what (I don't see myself flying in a lady from another city....lol).  Good luck.

Sorry sport, but that is just not a good idea!!!  Join a verification site.   You many have to give the site some personal info, but that's better than giving an unknown provider your CC info.

This hobby has enough scams when you meet face to face.  I know some would disagree but I'd be unwilling to over night, fly a gal to me, take her on vacation...  which requires her to close off her schedule for a large chunk of hours and incurr out of pocket expenses to fulfill your requests...  unless I'd met her successfully for shorter time entertainment.  But these exceptions are occasions where prepaying her expenses would be justified & expected by her.  
If a gal has a significant amount of your money & has performed no service yet...  she may suddenly become hard to reach or find her schedule otherwise full.  If you can afford to lose the deposit, then it's your money.  
Additionally, there's great risk in letting your CC information loose to a random stranger.  If you really needed to transfer cash, I'd look at prepaid cards & such that can not go beyond the preloaded amount.  At least that limits your losses.  
Ask anybody who's had their credit card or banking information compromised...   I had my wallet go missing for a period of days & while (in retrospect) I think it was safe (only because of where it turned up), by then I'd had all my accounts changed.

You would be much better off giving your references than your credit card info!  Even the ladies I know who take deposits do not ask for your credit card, preferring anonymous GreenDot Visa cards or the like.

Do not do it.

Thanks for your replies. I am not going to do that anyway...wanted to know others opinion.
Thank you very much.

unless it was an overnight visit, I don't really know many providers who require a deposit in advance. Well I don't know any that do, but that may be because of my area. I think that regardless of area there should be an abundance of providers who don't require that info, but you have to be open minded enough to move on to the next one.

always trust your gut in this industry.
