I see more and more providers are charging these, especially the ones who have proven that they can't even adhere to their own policies. Does a lady who wants a 50% cancellation fee for a cancellation less than 24 hours offer a 50% discount when she does it? I doubt it.

Theres absolutely zero we as a client can do expect to move on, if a provider flakes on us.  However, if we flake on them, they can rain the heavens down on us.  Black list us, bad mouth us, charge us higher fees, etc but hey, thats the price we pay to play.  

If because of your cancellation, I lose money (ie: a non refundable hotel that I booked soley to see you), you have to pay me back.

It's not a "providers world" we are the customers and we can take our business anywhere we want to. If you think a hookers cancellation policy is too harsh, don't book with her and let her know why, just like you would with any other business.

Geez - where do we all sign up for THAT one????
Never have I even ever HEARD of a provider offering to do that.

That's a smart system..

and ignore the ones with cancellation fees. Simple.

Truly, if I got sick after a poor schmuk paid for a hotel that he couldn't get out of, and he got it just for us to be together, id pay him for it.  I wouldn't pay his cab fare, or lost earnings or for his inconvenience though.  

and you have said it just as well before

What you guys don't understand is that the "hookers" as some call us, are people like you and yes you can take your business somewhere else but we can get plenty of men with money that have morals and call us providers. This is our business, when you book a massage at the local spa if you don't give 24hr notice they will charge you and you know why? Cause they have RESERVED that time for you! I could have booked someone else or I could have decided to do something else instead I have reserved that spot, MY TIME for you and if you don't give me proper notice to make other arrangements, I have wasted my time. My TIME IS MONEY, you are paying for my time, correct? so I think just as the local spa or the dr's office will charge you if you don't show up and call the same way every client should consider our business with the same courtesy. If you don't like it then find another woman but don't criticize those that apply a cancelation policy.

Just say no to providers with ridiculous cancellation policies.

100 deducted from what?

I wish the bitch who did a NCNS that cost me a pricey hotel room had the decency to do something like that. But just the fact that she pulled a NCNS and to this day hasn't acknowledged it proves that she's a bottom feeder and isn't capable of understanding the basic concept of human decency.

...that I booked just for you and you have to cancel....are you gonna pay me back for the room?

There's no official client version of the Blacklist, but there are TER boards and backchannels. I can't even begin to describe how vicious our backchannels can be.

Yes you are running a business, but providers/hookers cancel and NCNS at at least the same rate as the guys flake on the ladies.  

I don't cancel at last minute!

In this case we are talking about the client that don't show up. When we talk about the provider that doesn't show up then feel free to get mad at them.

YOU were the one who made it all about the guys flaking on you.

but if you really want to get laughed off this board, PLEASE try telling us that no hookers ever cancel or even worse, just fail to show up with out so much as a text or a phone call. PLEASE try going down that road, I could use a good laugh.

... pay expenses/bills with "sorry, maybe next time". And I feel the same about my business. Okay that's a bit extreme because i'm sure they could still pay bills if a few last minute clients cancel/no-show & don't pay up and so can I. Hoooowwwweeeevvveeerrr if it HELPS deter any indecisive folks or BS then why not I say (yes i'm aware some guys genuinely have things come up and not heartless about that). This is not my full-time job so when I make time for my escort dates I plan and take them very seriously and I expect my time & commitment to be appreciated in kind.

That assumes that a client that you cancelled on with very short notice would be willing to reschedule and take another chance. Frankly,  many would not be willing to do so.  

For touring, my policy is structured like this: if you cancel  within 48 hours then it's 50%.  If you cancel same-day, it's 100%.  

I would think it would be a part of every guy's research to back channel or even post on their local board inquiring for pms on certain ladies to see if they do a lot of Cancellations/NCNS.  

If you accept the terms and you care about your word as your bond, there's really no question about what should be done.

Wow.  

I have NEVER done it myself and I doubt if i experience it more than one or two percent of the time in my own life.

One is an out of pocket expense and the other is a discount. They are not really equal.

When people I know cancel last minute and I know for a fact they are legit. Things happens right? I think we all can sympathize with emergency situations. I have had cases people people cancel 2 or 3 times (thats when I will invoke my policy for such situations). I can re count plenty of situations outside this world where I have had to pay cancellation fees for appts I made that had to cancel less than 24hrs. One in particular really upset because I am such an easy going client to the woman I canceled on. She had no reparations in demanding her fee. I paid it and decided not to see her again. Then after my frustration passed, I realized she is just trying to earn her money just like all of us and time is precious. If you booked it... pay for it. If you decide not to... make sure you never contact her again, with the added risk you will end up in some data base of time wasters and no shows.  

NCNS are usually followed by a non response for compensation on your fees.  

Clearly just recovering out-of-pocket costs and not gouging the client, while at the same time trying to offer some compensation for a client's lost time and aggravation.

Rather than try to enforce a cancellation policy after the fact, I try to prevent short-notice cancellations by being VERY alert to signs of flakiness. I generally keep in close touch w/the client before the date... setting up details, asking questions about location/requests, touching base, sending confirmation emails, etc. Through this back-and-forth exchange, I can usually get a pretty good sense of who's committed to the date, and who's kind of like... 'Eh, maybe I might watch a movie that night.'  

including the 50% down. Cum see me in Philly?  

Great walking city, fantastic restaurants and culture.

when I request an appointment and they tell me if I cancel within 24 hours, I still have to pay the full hourly rate, I tell them MY hourly rate, since in most cases I will be passing on business to see them, and if they cancel on ME within 24 hours, they will agree to pay MY hourly rate.  Funny thing that they never want to see me under those conditions, so I don't see them.  I have no problem with a cancellation "FEE" providing its reciprocal.  Most providers that have cancellation fees want it to be one-sided.  

Thanks to Styx for the lyric!

She was an actress. According to Don Draper, actresses are prostitutes because they kiss for money.

I cancel with less than 24 hours notice maybe once or twice a year and usually only do so when I get sick or ran into a serious issue.  

So, according your thoughts, providers don't play any part in what you want. To take money elsewhere, doesn't mean that you carry it elsewhere, you are still bringing it to the pool. And particularly in your case, that makes no impact on the business, because one your rules is to suck in the provider to your silly game. You want to be a boyfriend and pay reduced fees ( or better yet no fees at all) and still brag on the board how big your balls. With such huge balls, huge, you are off course intitled to the role on the board as helping hand to losers who spend more time on the board then to actually hobbying. Xo

How does a provider expect to collect a cancellation fee if the client doesn't show up?

....if a client at least bothers to cancel ahead of time, as opposed to a NCNS, I might be irritated but things happen. I appreciate them letting me know! One guy started making a habit of scheduling and cancelling, I simply let him know that time is money, and he's wasting mine...and if he would like to continue to see me, he needs to follow through. And he has! NCNS is different, in my opinion, and for those asshats, I just block them and won't schedule them again. Pretty simple!

You don't seem to be any better at reading comprehension either. Of course the money still goes into the "hooker pool" of money, but I guarantee the "good hookers" aren't going to share their hard earned money with the bad, lazy or just plain BSC hookers who run off their own customers.

Of course because I have a reading comprehension, what else? What someone else money have to do with other people money? In connection to what did you say that? Why would they want to share, especially as you put it 'good people share with bad people"? You state the obvious and do this in very profound and grotesque way. Just wait, many people fell off their chairs from this wisdom.

I am not even going to attempt to make any sense of this latest word salad.  

And stop your obsession with most likely retired escort. Xo

And you can go elsewhere yes

When a provider cancels on a client she pays a cancellation fee to the client.

Her plan is perfectly fair and even. Why? Because lol, the client is not going to pay the $100 fee EITHER, unless s/he rebooks.

Does your doctor or dentist or lawyer pay you when they have to cancel an appointment?

That is very fair

I'm assuming she's typically hosting. I'm low volume and often secure a hotel for one engagement. If I cancel the gentleman is usually only inconvenienced a bit, if they cancel I'm out the cost of a hotel room.

but a cancellation with even a few hours notice and a discount to make up for it? Yeah, I would reschedule.  

I feel like maybe he had a good reason and will reschedule but if it's a bogus reason then I just block him and write a bad review about him! No big deal! I do however appreciate a tip when we do meet if you have cancelled on me in the past but I hardly ever run into that problem!

jk .... something I've heard a few times too many ... lol
