I was thinking of joining one of these two sites. It seems that both are recommended and used. I was looking on the websites to join and noticed the lifetime membership at date-check. Does p411 have a lifetime membership too? I might join date-check primarily because of that difference. Why would I want to pay an annual fee instead of a one-time payment? What are your thoughts?

I don't see anything on P411 about lifetime membership.

I seem to see more ladies asking for P411. I think they give off a more reliable vibe. That could easily just be the aesthetics of their site though.  Date check is a little flashier.

I belong to and have OK's on both, as well as white list here. You can't have too many options fer screening.  Never know which one a lady your interested in might want.

They both use info that a girl can verify from a physical ID when you arrive with which to generate your handle.  P411 chooses it for you. I think DC lets you choose, if I remember correctly.

I prefer P411 as a screening tool, because it's all around easier to use. However, if I know someone is on both, I'll give them okay's on both, just to make it easier for them.

It's a great site , all the ladies I've met there were legit . The lady that runs it keeps everything on the up & up.

However, they run specials every so often, I just renewed there and got 3 years for the price of 2.  If you're gonna join DC, the lifetime membership is the way to go.  Like a previous poster, I have both, plus whitelist refs here.  I agree, you can't have too many references or ok's.

In my opinion, that is not a reason to choose date-check. I belong to both, and I have the lifetime membership for date-check. However, if I was doing it again, I would just join P411. P411 is a much better service in my opinion. There may be regional variations in what is preferred (for example RS2K is popular in Chicago), but in general I think P411 is better and if you check out this link from one of the previous times the question was asked, you will see many (including providers) agreed with me, along with the reasons.

i have a P411 membership and a provider game me an invite for date-check

i like P411 much better for the following reasons:

the interface is cleaner and much easier to use....date-check seems like it was designed by people in different rooms who never spoke to each other

ad boards are regional in P411 instead of the mess in date-check

private messaging with providers is an option

on date-check, anyone whose page you look at knows you looked at them




P411 is way preferred, imho

For all of these reasons, I prefer P411!

P411 is more 'User-friendly".     I welcome both as screening opltions, provided there are references to go along with the membership, so as far as THAT goes, either is fine with me.    If membership fees are the deciding factor , you should have success with date check if you just want to use it to be "screened" by a potential date.    If I were a GUY, I'd join p411.   It's just seems easier to use.  And it's very well managed I will add.  

My personal experience with both sitres:

I joined BOTH sites in August of 2011:
I have given 142 "provider okays" to gentlemen on p411
I have given a reference for 13 gentlemen on Date-check.

That's a a pretty signifigant difference I'd say!

Date-check has profiles up for ladies that retired years ago! P411 will inactivate a lady's account if she doesn't check in at least every 60 days. So you can be relatively sure that a P411 lady is currently active.
There are many other reasons that p411 is better, mentioned in the link I provided earlier.

date-check is fine too.  I do like the fact that I can private message someone on p411.

another GREAT benefit for the Client is

Ladies on P411 are supposed to respond to a clients message or appointment request wtihin 4 days.   So if you contact someone on there and they dont get back to you within 4 days, by all means,  send an email to customer support to let them know.  

One way p411 can check on this......FOR EXAMPLE:  If p411 send ME an email regarding something, and I dont respond within 4 days they will AUTOMATICALLY suspend my account.  They assume that if I am not responding to THEIR emails then I'm not responding to the Clients.
How awesome is THAT for the CLIENT!!!   I'm not sure if they let you as the client know about that when you sign up or not.   I've mentioned that to a few clients from there and they were not aware of that.

that the providers can indicate on their profiles that they are newbie friendly, can't do that on DC.,

Helped me out in the begging so yah it was worth it for me and the PM system is nice too

Dear Kendall:
Although p411 does give you a number of okays on a potential visitor, would you still follow up with a couple of providers if you needed to know more specifics on a gentleman?

And may I just say  Rawr!  
And I love your smile.

Let's see... flights to Raleigh, Flights to Rapid City, AHH, there it is: Flight To Reno!

under "Services Information" section.

It would depend I guess.  Sometimes I do, but I make sure its ok with the gentleman first.  I would ask him to give me to that I can contact.  But if I see a guys profile from several well reviewed and well known and respected ladies, then I usually am fine with that.

Sincerely..

*Kendall*

~  Awe thank you sweetie for the compliment and for welcoming me to the review world here on TER.  It would be great to see you sometimes.  Keep in touch.  

ps.  Chicago may be my home soon, I love it here!

Sincerely..

theyre useless after about a year.

I was told by a provider very recently that P411 allows providers to make comments in addition to just the "OK".  The comments are viewable by other providers but not clients.  If true, I would think this could be useful to providers.

P411 seems like the better choice, I just really dislike the annual payment instead of a lifetime membership, especially if I'm not going to be highly active in the hobby. Thanks for all of your input.
