Just wondering what your thoughts are? Is it bad etiquette or rude to ask a provider if she is currently running any specials after you have been screened? I know a lot of providers do. Sometimes they post them on there ad's on TER sometimes on there website but not always. Not trying to be cheap as for the most part it wont effect my booking unless I am on the fence between a couple ladies. Thoughts?

I wish I could ask my mortgage, car payment, student loans and other obligations for specials..haha (no pun intended)

I don't think it is rude to ask politely.   I think that our excellent providers here are very sensitive about clients attempting to negotiate on fees or trying to chisel a rate down and justifiably so.

Eh.
I don't ever have "specials" so I would be annoyed if someone asked *me*.

...I'm not running any top secret 'bcd' specials on top of that.  
Wait for the lady to let you know if she's running any.

If you see an ad, it is ok to ask...past that it is sort of a buzz kill.   Basically, it is can I value our time together a little less?  Is there a blue light instead of a red one today?  Can I have the lesser experience than the best?  That being said once you have met someone for a while as a regular some ladies grandfather or are willing to give frequent flyer points.  Advanced pre-books that actually happen as planned or certain mutual memberships to verification sites also can be discounted if posted that way.  

how would you feel if after we booked a date we sent a quick text as you were on your way over saying. "i know you love my blowjobs, but i just really dont want to give any today... " then you say, "hmm ok.. then maybe we should postpone.. " and she says, "oh nah.. thats ok.. ill give the blowjob."

Man I feel like a dick now.....

Should have brought it up before though.  I have asked a few providers in the past.  At least now I know

... If those don't apply to you then you're cool .

I bet you asked for a special when you bought the car! lol. The sticker price on the car is not the price you have to pay. Buy a used car at a place not called carmax and you can easily negotiate the more cash that you use in the transaction.  

You can buy discounted houses, discounted cars, and get better rates on student loans all of which are a special, so those are bad examples.

You should do the same!

Warren Buffett & Bill Gates gets free McDonald's.  

Just wanted to try to help you feel through the thought through our eyes.  And agreed, that ducks usually pester and even get aggressive in their questioning and insisting.  You are not at all doing or suggesting that.

You and a few other clients responding as if providers are commodities, not actual people providing services.

you had me at "blowjobs"

and leave it at that. If she is offering a discount that is clearly stated on her website as her current rate then I'll take advantage of the discount but that's more likely if it's multi hour appointments. Many times  I see p411 discounts of $20 off hourly rate. In those instances  I just pay the regular rate.

Thank you!,  
you see us as human beings, not a car dealer or a restaurant like someone suggested earlier.  

Clearly, we would never meet...

I think you're making a good point but different people are in this for different reasons -- and as I suspect those who see providers more as the commodity, or merely a means to their ends, will always be present as such behavior is not well tolerated in non P4P world -- the girl friend/wife walks (or really start spending the cash).

Agree 100 percent   if yiu want a commodity go to the sex store and buy a sex doll.  The providers are real people not a commodity .

maybe it's the celeb status of the guys instead of the money, but her marketing plan is quite nice. It depends on how ladies operate but the most prolific provider that leveraged pop culture is Jenna Shea. Dudes being associated with her make ya think damn....maybe I'd drop some coin to try it out!

This is the USA! Only slaves...black slaves were not treated as human in the USA. Save the theatrics for someone else. I never meet a well paid slave/commodity. I'm just not one for false equivalents and posturing on the boards.  

I feel like you should've done your research about a provider offering a discount before contacting her, not after

Just look on her most recent advert or website. Do your due diligence.  
If you notice that she is making it public that a special is being offered, by all means, inquire. If you find that the special offer is >1 month old, it's best to assume that the offer is no longer valid.
If there have been no mentions of a special within the last month, it's best to hold your tongue.  
Discussing rate is always in poor taste and a red flag in my book. I prefer no mention of it at any point, whether we are communicating verbally or electronically. When I'm asked to confirm my rate (or for a special rate), I immediately feel like my website hasn't been looked over, like a gentleman hasn't put much thought into his decision to book me. Due diligence is key!

You can make other human rights violations & broken agreement cases....But at least they were compensated and still compensated to this day.  

But I support a client's right to negotiate...If she says "yes" client wins. She says "no" you wasn't going to see her at regular price anyways.
