Any MP's take credit cards or debit?

[Jojoe]

Just curious. This includes ths and/or plush and what it would be billed. THX

Be careful. I would consider MP's a high-risk transaction. Lots of organized crime involved. And not many guys are gunna complain about being ripped off while at the rub n' tug.

Among the cheap places Asia Studios, Wendy's, Sophie's and A & P do that I know of. Probably most of the high-end spas do.

Fujiyama takes debit

 

[whateverchic2006]

I believe Alllure accepts credit cards.

Avoid using credit cards. I used my credit card(s) for SP's and the spending got way out of control fast.

My advice, be it MP or SP, always use cash. You'll thank yourself later, especially if you're late or miss a payment. Truth be told, I think the MP and MPA would rather have cash anyway.

be very careful,
1) spending gets away from you.

2) watch receipts never can be seen by anyone else.
3) mp records may have your creditcard info ( vendor copy) which can be used against you if there is a bust.(it happened to me. phone call by le to come in to talk.)

Well-known and high end SPAs, no worries. Use either credit card or debit card. Others? I don't even bother going there.

But, I always take enough cash for this. It's alot more convenient for you as well as MP / MPA.

Angel Spa has an interac label on the door.

Isn't that a bit risky leaving a paper trail? If you are using credit card or debit, why not go to the bank machine to either get a cash advance or money from your account. Then the papertrail leads only to the bank machine and not to the place you visited.

 

[bella p]

so you can actually be prosecuted by using a debit/credit card @ a massage parlour?

 

[Lovely Laura]

I guess the key is to use it wisely and a place you can trust. By the way I earned $100 on cash back from my card last year. Enough for a another session.

 

[Red Devils Lad]

maybe lawyerman can help us out on this issue? lol

I don't even go into an MP with any more money than I intend to spend, let alone a bank card or credit card that could be run hard.

You have to assume (sadly) that MPs and SPs are run by a criminal element, and the value of your card information including PIN code is pretty high. You might as well write your info on 3X5 file cards and drop them in the local prison. That is the level of risk you are taking.

If you are intending to use a bank card, just go ahead of time and withdraw the cash.

if you are intending to use a credit card, might I suggest that you skip the massage and wait until you can really afford it?

A helpful thread, but

Avoid the credit card ... Amen, brother, bin there done that
-Too easy to spend too much
-Hide those receipts

The ATM isn't much better
-if you go to the bank these days, you notice the clerk spends a lot of time squinting at you account on the screen. Goodness knows what it shows. You'd sort of hate to see your loan officer spotting certain transactions.
