Another "no deposit" concern or stance
Has anyone noticed more providers now want a "hotel deposit. ". This means cash app for a hotel booking requirement ahead of session.
Has anyone committed to this and had it work out? How do we know what the hotel is going to even cost. The amount is set by provider. Usually 150 $ "atop" the session visit. My concern is other guys, regulars, will then benefit from bookings on same day, leveraging "my" deposit given to the provider (she uses the room after I leave). Not to sound cheap, but what if 150 is higher than rate? I just don't understand why these providers don't just build in the cost to normal rate and require a cancellation fee. I guess potentially they'd be stuck with a room.
Has anyone done this and not had issues? I'm not comfortable doing this at all, myself. I've told these providers I can book a place same manner and I'll handle the room, then crickets. Even some legit providers are now doing this method of booking. They’re not all scammers. I know this for a fact but won’t list examples. It’s basically a “you give me 150$ and tell me what area you want.. then we’ll meet that day and you pay remainder then.. “ but it’s atop the normal fee amount. The other solution is to have a hotel or apartment permanently booked (lol) for this purpose.
