I've encountered this phenomenon several times when looking at provider's profiles in the past.  And, I have searched TER for an answer, with no success.  And up until now, to avoid sounding like a newbie, or an idiot, I have put off asking the question...

 
When a provider advertises their rates, and then references an "up charge" called "VIP Rate", typically, to what "VIP Services" are they not providing under the standard rate?

 
Example:  I was looking at the profile of a very provocative provider.  I loved the look, the reviews were stellar, and the posted rates were in my range (950/1.5).  But then I noticed:  "VIP RATES ARE AN ADDITIONAL $200 PER HOUR"

 
I get that it can be different from provider to provider.  But, I'm checking to see whether there is a consensus or common definition for "VIP Rate".  What is it that I'm not getting for 950?

VIP are for  (Very Ignorant Person)

It's synonyms with
GPS (Golden Pussy Syndrome)

They are both delusional terms used by  
BSC (Bat Shit Crazy)
women to trick you into believing their hole and services are better than others who go for much lower rate.

Don't become a chump.

Also, never give deposits or real life information to ANY provider...use your big head!

Maybe QueenBia can offer what she does since she participates alot here and has a separate VIP price schedule on her website.  

From what I've seen it's usually Greek but as you point out it can vary from provider to provider. Same with "PSE" rates vs GFE.

... whatever she wants it to mean, as long as she can squeeze another $200 from you.  

 
There is no standard industry definition for this. Just like there is no standard definition for PSE, GFE, Low Volume, and Stress Relief.  These are all "marketing" terms used to try to entice you to book.  It's the same in virtually every consumer goods or services business.

 
For example: Wine can be labeled as "reserve," or "premium."  But unlike other terms legally defined by the government (like estate, or AVA), the winery can (and usually does) label their lowest tier wines as "premium."  

 
What to do? Read the reviews. All of them.  Look up the reviewers as well to determine their credibility. If needed, contact a recent reviewer, and if they are agreeable, ask specific questions about their session.  

 
Or, just finish drinking that bottle of "reserve" wine and pick the provider who has the nicest tit pics.  What could go wrong (sorry, I mean right)?

I'll bet in some cases it means BBFS. Trouble is, how do you know?

You'd have to ask or look at reviews and maybe contact some reviewers.

 
I've asked ladies in a general sort of way and never had a problem.

I hate to assume, but can imagine…
VIP = GFE, BBBJ, DFK, Anal, PSE, COF, COM
IDK it varies depending upon who your asking. Some providers are only providing the minimum services Non-VIP, or GFE= No DFK, No BBBJ, No Anal, No PSE, No COF, CO
Bottom line is YMMV

And it is to ask, because there is no industry standard here . It's not about being a newbie  ,otherwise you might be   spending 950 plus another possible 200 on a blind date - so to speak. Get  clarification before the tryst ,and avoid getting  your wish and hopes up only to be dissapiointed.

DFK, BBBJ, Anal, or a duo cannot get a review score higher than a 7 for service, the same as a sensual massage provider who offers no sex at all (except maybe a HJ).  I would think that most providers who are familiar with TER would realize that including the menu items that allow a higher score would be essential in keeping their averages up.  The ladies I have seen that offered a VIP rate required the upcharge for Anal, but BBBJ DFK are on the regular menu, which gets their score potential for service to a 9 rather than a 7.

 
Any provider who divides the services in the way you suggest is shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to review scores by limiting their max score in accordance with TER review guidelines.  

To me, VIP means upgraded amenities: a suite with a soaking tub + views, my sexiest lingerie, a selection of snacks and beverages. Things of that nature. My boundaries don't change, but the experience necessitates a greater financial investment.

In any case it is best to approach a provider without concrete assumptions about their relationship to acronyms.

when I hear the term, "VIP".  I think of enhancements to the basic experience, not an expanded menu.  VIP is an example of a term that is often hi-jacked to mean something else.  I often go for VIP seating at concerts and events because it enhances the experience having a better view of the performance.  Non-VIP patrons see the same show, VIP only gives you closer access to the performers.  For me, it's worth the extra money.  

 
My only suggestion to providers is . . . . snacks are a nice touch, but nobody that is about to have sex craves hummus.  

is how my long-time ATF and some of her provider friends use that term. To them, it has nothing to do with service level—they offer everyone the same level of service, with the usual “YMMV” caveat based on grooming, attitude etc.—or how lux the incall is. It’s about the client… as in “Very Important Person.”

 
I first heard my ATF use the term when she was talking about how she described me to a provider I was planning to meet, at my ATF’s recommendation.  I think I asked about screening, and my ATF laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I told her you’re VIP.”  Afterwards I heard her use “VIP” on occasion when referring to her favorite, trusted clients.

 
And no, she didn’t charge extra for VIPs.  If anything, her VIP rate was less than her published rate.  

So I think it's best you always clarify with the provider.

In this case, I will not be cynical, although I think it best to have vip explained on the website/ad to avoid answering very same questions by all the prospective clients. Ie,it will save both client and provider a lot of time to just enumerate what falls under "VIP" moniker.

The problem is, if you are a first time customer, you can't really get  a straight answer what services she offers, since most people stay away from mentioning explicit sex acts for a given dollar amount -- for legal jeopardy reasons.
