Is raising rates common?  I have seen the same provider multiple times and she keeps asking for more each time.  The last time I did not pay the extra and she still provided the same service but it kinda kills the mood.  She is incredibly beautiful and good at what she does but not sure I want to go back again.

No, that's not common at all.  Does she have a website or an ad with published rates?  It sounds like she is trying to take advantage of you.  Don't get me wrong, all providers raise their rates on occasion but trying to do it on every visit is not a good business practice.

So, does she do this after you are at the location or does she let you know the rate will be higher before you leave home?

If she asks for more after you arrive, I'd consider it an upsell and post the appropriate review.

If she lets you know before you arrive, consider it her new rate and then decide to see her or not based on that donation.

Once you meet with her there should be no monetary discussions unless you want to extend your time together.

Sounds like its time to move on to someone else.

A lot of ladies grandfather the a regular at the rate when he first saw her.

If she is asking more each time, that gets old really quick. I would tell her that is all you can afford to pay. It is then up to her to decide if she wants to keep you as a happy client.

This is a massage service, she charges different rates depending on what she takes off so this happens during the session.  I guess it would be considered an upsell and should move on but it's hard to find someone with a body like hers.... It will be fun trying

What you describe is NOT common. If you've seen her several times and you get treated like you describe she doesn't appreciate your business or respect you. There are plenty of other "incredibly beautiful and good at what she does" providers, it's time you find another one.  Good luck

I've seen this one provider regularly in the past. When it was good, I've seen her three or four times a week. It would made sense for her to give me a discount, since I was spending a shit load of money on her monthly.

All of a sudden, she wanted an upcharge on her rate. I thought to myself, that doesn't even make sense. Since I saw her regularly, you would think that I should deserve a discount, and not an upcharge. Just like you, felt kinda strange, and moved on. Primarily, she was becoming too emotionally attached, and drama was unfolding.

Anyways, some regulars will do that. Don't ask me why, they just do. For my case however, she thought I had money, and a couple of extra dollars here and there wouldn't hurt. I don't mind paying it, but it just felt weird, kinda felt like I was being taken advantage of. After hobbying for a while, I have experience a couple of these instances. And, I move on.

But, overall, the rates in general seem to be consistent. And, in some cases, have actually lowered in prices. I've seen some providers that usually charge $500 hr, now they lowered it to $400. I've even seen some that was $400 hr, down to $350 hr. And, in some cases, they will give discounts, generally like $25 or $50 for those that have whitelist, and other incentives.

....many years ago, my gift was "X". an hour.  I have since raised my gift amount, but I would never even think of telling loyal friends to give the new amount.  A few do know that my gift has increased through the years, and will usually leave a bit extra in the envelope.

That witch is working you bigtime.

Agree same here

Just ask what her rate for being total nude is.  Once she tells you, it shouldn't change.  Make your decision. Is it worth it to you?

If she's going a little further each time, she's playing you.  Move on.

her rate was $, about 1/2 the base rate for FS providers in my area.  After we got to know each other she told me that extras were available & she expected a tip.  She never stated a rate for the extras which include FS.  I chose to tip enough bringing the rate up to $$, which is what I would pay any other FS provider.  
I think if she is stepping up the service, she should get a proper rate for that service.  If the rate keeps changing, it is not to your benifit.  You need to look for the going rate & see if her services/rates fall within it.

Absolutely agree with this.  The package of totally nude & X services should be a constant.   If the rate is excessive, don't go back.  If the rate & service is to your liking, say you are only paying "same as last time".
