I've dealt with this for big companies but this business strategy confuses me.

I don't think this is a widespread issue, most likely an isolated incident. Probably, looking for some new clients that have more "hard" to offer than just "hard cold cash".  

Usually, we cut off grandfathering because enough new clients are paying more.  Which means you'll then need to pay the current rate.  Maybe just resubmit your screening info, and tell her you want to be a new client

"You are no longer grandfathered in at my old rate" = "You've become too much of a pain in the ass to keep as a regular."

...there are high maintenance guys.

Most gals forget that when raising their rates often times it fails to stick.

Yeah, that's hooker math for you.

If a lady raises her rates and continues to get more business then she can handle, she probably should eliminate the grandfathered rates but the smart ones probably don't do it for everyone. I have a few clients (non hobby related) that have special rates. They give me consistent business and its worth doing the work for a bit less. Nothing beats reliable income.  

A guy could get a whole new identity, new email, new computer and service provider, new job and references, then set up a date at the grandfathered rate.

When the gal opens the door and sees the former client all he has to do is say:  "My God, you mean you know my long lost identical twin brother?"

Let say her Regular going rate is 300 = R
Let = G be the Grandfather rate at $200
Let N be the new client rate = $175
Let F = time of sex for break ove Set 10
Let say it takes 3 guy before she gets a new repeat who hook.
Let T = cost of a body repair from a abuser Set at 50K
Let c be the odd of abuse with a regular set at 1%
Let E be the odd of abuse with a new guy set at 2%
Let M1 and M2 BE TOTAL MONEYmade
For staying the same F*G-T*C=M1
Or 10*200-50000*0.01=1500
For getting New clients  
N*(F-7)+R*(F-3)-T*C=M2
Or 175*3+300*7-50000*0.02= 1625

I raise, you all pay the same. Despite what SJG has to say, my rates do stick, and I've almost tripled mine in a year's time. Lost one client over it. So be it. He's a cool dude and I can respect the fact that I crossed over his personal threshold. We still chat nicely on boards.

This past year, my ComCast bill went up by 30%.   Yet there are special offers for new customers at less than what I paid prior to my rate increase.  
 No amount of negotiation or threats to switch to another provider got me any results, so it's doubtful that strategy would work for you.

The "majority" of you are quite the opposite of uneducated. What do you define as educated? A high school diploma or GED. For those of you that are "educated" why don't you get a job in your chosen field? Oh wait, there aren't a lot of jobs for liberal arts majors. Actually you are smart. You realized you should be doing what your best at.......taking money from men to please them.

If you old ugly but you were clean and treated the provider nicely and respectful she would continue to see you.  
If contrary you were sweaty , rough, ugly, fat, disrespectful or/and pushy then that is the reason she don't want nothing o do with you anymore
