Cardholders Responsibility
[QUOTE=Nightowl21;2863834]Even on a good double points rewards card an $80 house fee would only get you $1. 60. That would be the only upside. The downside could be (and I may just be overly paranoid), if the place ever got raided I wouldn't want a paper trail with my name on it. If they were to go out of business or possibly had a rogue employee, I don't want them running up a charge on my card then I have to call and explain why there is a charge from "Japanese massage" I want to contest, especially if you already have multiple charges to them previously. Not to mention I don't want the girl to think I have more money on me than I think she's worth. It's kind of hard to say I only have $40 or $80 (or whatever your limit is) on me when you just gave them a credit card. And I also don't want them thinking I have to finance a massage either LOL.[/QUOTE]As a card holder you are responsible to keep track of all legit charges on the card. That means any charge that is not legit you as the card holder and the credit card company can reverse the charge. Every transaction you make is insured so the CC company and yourself as the card holder has no liability only the merchant aka the place of purchase. That is why I keep paper trail before it posts after I toss it. Now with money someone takes your money and they can run and you loose that and never get it back with a credit card you can dispute the charge and get it back. Once money is gone and gone and your the dumbass crying that you got ripped off by a beautiful woman with large boobs. Okay yeah they can raid the place yes my name can be there but they don't have any proof that I paid for a massage. No provider is going incriminate themselves when they are getting their tips in cash. I have proof I went there for a massage my attorney can fight that in court any day. The the can't charge you with a crime with circumstantial evidence.
