I'm just one opinion of course, but I would like to suggest that some providers would have more dollars in there pockets and more happy clients by offering better discounts for 1.5-3 hour sessions.  I've noticed several providers in Vegas have done this, and while I don't know for sure how it has turned out, it sure did get me to spend my full budget and be very satisfied, more than would be possible in an hour.  Of course I did spend more time with the provider who offered a multi-hour discount and therefore the provider had less time available for other clients who would presumably pay more.   But while the extra time with me was at a discount, my feeling is that, at least for low volume indie providers, my extended session would not necessarily result in the provider reducing the number of clients that she sees.  Therefore, I suggest that certain discounts for the right provider will increase revenue without increasing volume or scheduling/screening hassles.  For example, there is a lady locally whose donation is 350/hr and 440/1.5 hrs.  In my opinion, 350 is on the high side for what I'm willing to donate, but 440 for 1.5 seems like a good value for this provider (both relative to the local market and relative to her 1hr rate).  Now while I personally like 90 minute sessions, I normally go for 1 hr sessions because I tend to get better value out of those. However, back to my example, perhaps you can see why, all else being equal, I would pick the 90 min session for 440 every time I see that provider.  So in the end, this provider being very smart In that she is extracting more $ out of me without necessarily sacrificing much more on her end.  Plus, since I tend to enjoy longer sessions, my reviews tend to be best for providers I see in those circumstances, which I think is an added marketing bonus for the provider.

I agree that discounts for times beyond 60 minutes would seem to benefit both providers and hobbyists.  I see some rates that are the same per hour for at least the first few hours, some with discounts, and some with disincentives.

I'd like to add that personally when an escort charges 300/hr and 450/1.5 hrs, I will generally take the hour. But on the rare occasions that a provider gives a discount--say 400/1.5 hrs. I will always take it. I know that $50 may seem insignificant to most of you, but what with the saturated market I agree that escorts should consider giving discounts for over an hour.

in my opinion there are many providers that offer packages discount  
and many of us were 20-30 extra minutes with our clients, there are 4 provedoras friends of mine that they do and offer a first class service...   We have a high reputation in the area, and for that reason we are always Busy ... what better gift, you pay 90 minutes, and receive 20 or 30 minutes free!

You make a very good point, Nikoletta, especially in terms of certain providers offering extra time to many of their clients.  And thank you for mentioning some specific providers who are strong in this area.   I find that while I would generally like to stay longer with a provider, I tend to leave at my scheduled time out of respect for the provider's time, plus I would tend to feel impolite in asking if I could stay longer.  Am I being too polite?  Perhaps I've been unlucky or am an unpleasant client (I hope not!), but Ive never had a provider actually offer for me to stay for extra time (although it has happened without discussion on occasion).  How would you suggest that I better handle such a situation?

Thats always been a thing I did.

Your rate structure helped me to decide on 1-1/2 hours with you, and I enjoyed every one of the 90 minutes.  

My honorarium goes down with amount of time. I will be in DC tomorrow and am offering a tour special.....a 3 hour date is less then a 2 hr date here at home in NYC! And my 1.5 hr honorarium is my normal 1hr honorarium. So check me out and I look forward to hearing from a few of you. ~LuLu

It depends on what the lady wants. If she prefers volume, then keeping the rates consistent across the time is the right thing to do. If she prefers to spend more time with individual clients, then she should offer discounts for multiple hours. I recently saw a lady who offered $250 for one hour and $550 for two. I still saw her for two hours, because that it was I wanted. And she stayed for quite a bit longer. She did admit that the $550 was a typo, but since that was her advertised rate, that is what she got. I was happy with the services provided and felt I had good value.

I didn't read it that way. If a client feels like he got a stellar price/performance ratio it's going to show up in the review, either conscientiously or subconsciously.  
 

My sense was that because he enjoys longer sessions more, his reviews tend to be better -- not because of the longer session per se, but because of his greater enjoyment.  Who knows?  You may be correct, but I didn't read it that way.

The link between discounts and reviews is not direct.

YOU want the discount.lol

I have thought this before but to be honest I have been very lucky with ladies having been relaxed and non-rush for short time overages if they don't have a client immediately scheduled. I prefer two hours sessions I and like to relax and get to know the person a bit and feel comfortable.

I agree, not only on this being his point, but on his premise.  I prefer a longer appointment
and feel I have a better time in them.  I could see how this would influence my rating.  It
is human nature.  I would never think to use this against the ladies though, and I don't
believe the OP was either.  Then again I only review a lady if I feel I have something to add
to the discussion.
