That makes sense. Thanks.

I have noticed a trend of providers not wanting cash for their time but instead wanting gift cards or other forms of non-currency payments. Why? Has anyone else noticed that? What is going on?

When your pussy is worth gold and you're charing $1,000 an hour and a monger brings it to you in $20s. easier to carry a stack of cards than a bunch of bills.

Those who don't want cash. Cashapp, gift cards are a scam. Don't fall for it. Ignore those ads 99% of them are fake.

Want ONLY cash.  Gift cards are not accepted unless its gift outside the donation.

Are you seeing providers demand gift cards in advance? Then it's definitely a scam. I've seen a few providers mention gift cards on their sites but I've never seen one decline cash.

And that one time I paid with a used car actually it was three two hour dates for that car. Never paid with a gift card.  Now those I flown in paid part in cash, but the deposit was paid in other ways,. Green Dot, prepaid Visa, or PayPal. But in a every date in this hobby except the three paid for by that car was paid at least in part with cash.

can't take your "cut" out of a gift card without a hassle.  Don't blame you.

I agree. But also keep in mind various cash options.

Cash Is #1
In the US, the standard is "paper money" = "greenbacks."  Also consider:
.
1. Pre-1964 US dimes and quarters. Those coins are mostly (90%) silver.  A now retired Provider had a table on her rates page. As of July 2020, a roll of dimes, 50 @ 10 cents, has a face value of $5 but a silver (melt) value of ~$80.  A roll of quarters, 40 @ 25 cents, has a face value of $10 but a silver (melt) value of ~$165.  She also accepted other forms of precious metals and carried around a small scale (and, I guess, a small test kit to measure the purity (karats) of gold jewelry.
.
2. Gold Krugerrands, Gold Canadian Maple Leafs, Gold Australian Kangaroos, Chinese Gold Pandas, etc..  They come in 1 ounce and smaller denominations. If you don't want to carry around a stack of Benjamins, one 1 ounce gold coin is worth around $2000 today.  One 1/2 ounce gold coin is ~$1000.  Your date will have to trade it for US paper money at a dealer and pay a small premium to do so.
.
3. Rolled coin. If you are a cheapskate and are OK with outcall to your location, try to pay your visitor with rolled coin. $500 in pennies is 1000 rolls of pennies and weighs around 275 pounds. She'll probably break the handle on her pocket book and give up after 40 pounds or less, which is less than $100. A bargain for you,  perhaps? I mention it but I don't recommend it. You could spend the rest of your life pinching those pennies instead of pinching pussie.

I have never had cash turned down. I have used a paypal account for a SB who has needed money before our date and I have left gift cards on top of the donation. But as everyone has mentioned "cash is king"!

so its my preferred method as well. with doing more "virtual dates" in the age of corna-varius, i've had several clients desiring to pay with Amazon gift cards to cover tracks from their significant others. usually a no go for me since my landlord truly does require a stack of benjamins monthly.  

even before pandemic, many of my younger in-person clientele live cashless and seek to pay via CC, PP, etc., which i wouldn't mind as much if it weren't for those processors suspending your account if there's even a whiff of adult involved. Venmo kicked me off for accepting completely legal Skype session payments. #bastards
Warmest hugs y'all,

I realize that I'm a dinosaur and that some of our younger p4p participants are used to paying for everything with an electronic account of some kind -- but cash is not traceable once I've paid it out.

I don't have an SO to worry about but p4p is still an extralegal activity -- the less capability the Powers That Be have to track that sort of activity, the better.

The push for those same Powers to do away with cash in day-to-day society is just another way for them to be able to track and control our activities.

I could not agree more--if this current Marxist insurrection continues to advance in this country you will eventually see a push for a cashless society and a chip implant somewhere in your body. My thoughts about these possibilities are best expressed by quoting an American Revolutionary patriot who said:

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

Sadly, they already have the chips they need to trace us -- those that are in all of our "connected" devices, tracking where we are, the time frame and most likely what we're up to.

Read up on "geofencing" and how LE has been using it to crack cases -- without warrants!

Scary shit!

In spite of my other thread that attracted so much misplaced and erroneous scorn, I agree that cash is the way to go.  Though no longer entirely anonymous, it is still far less traceable than other forms of payment.

It's a bit like "democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…".
