any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
i had been using paypal, but since i see that its such a big no no i am not acepting it anymore. i have not signed up for anything like alert pay because i just don't like doing new, unfamiliar things for some reason.. i'd like to keep things simple so i am going to accept the visa virtual gift cards because i personally can't stand amazon! and plus, i can use the visa to pay bills! just wondering if any1 else does this? i searched on here and saw ppl use green dot and regular site gift cards but didnt see anyone saying they use the visa or mastercard e gift cards, and it seems like that would be a top pic for everyone, even over using payment processors because they dont take any % of your money. the buyer simply pays a few extra dollars for the card. I do know that it's not very practical for every day use, because it's not an actual card it's just the code so it's best for paying bills & online shopping, but everyone has bills so it's perfect for that.
So, Is there a REASON why more independent cam girls do not accept these?? one that i should know about..
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
i was wondering this too the other day! *subscribes*
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
I'm always looking for a better way to accept payment. I use a CC processing company but they take too much I feel. Would be nice to find a better way for first time clients to pay.
I'm all ears and eyes :)
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??

Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
oh thanks!! :) i use to LOVE doing the div overlays on myspace back when it was 1.0 and i use 2 make my own, but then they changed it and it sucks, and i hate FB cus u cant customize it.. i looked for a blogger layout n i found a cute 1 n started making all my tip buttons and everything like that to customize it, and THEN, i saw this 1 and i was like fuck yeah! that's totally me!! lol.. so i am re doing it! my photoshop hadn't been working, and my google chrome quit working and the IE sucks on my desktop cus its soooo slow 4 some reason, but i finally got my photoshop open again.. i did those quick tip buttons, but im gonna customize it alot more later.
& if any1 ever wants help with a blogger layout, i'm gonna b making a bunch and i will probably do another blog with them listed, so i can post the link for u guys 2 use.. i use 2 do that with my myspace layouts so im excited abt making the blogger ones and coding them now :)
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
Katrina I would love to chat about doing a blog layout. I have a blog up, but not quite ready to have tips done and all cause I'm still working on getting AP verified. PM about how much you'd want for it. Also can you do MFC?
On to the visa gc's, I'm not sure how well these would work cause I'm not sure if the guys ordering them would get a copy of the number too. That would be my concern with them, otherwise I'd be for it completely.
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
i looked at the link & it says they have to put your first & last name on it. i wonder if it would still work with just your cam name instead of legal name?
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
I have. FYI they have to put a *name* on the visa e-GC. Alertpay is so much better for collecting payments. Plus it's not terribly easy to get customers to use something THEY are unfamiliar with. At least with alertpay you can tell them "it's just like paypal except they don't have adult restrictions". From my experience guys will use alertpay no sweat but other stuff they aren't familiar with....not so much.
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
1 of the reasons i didnt sign up for alert pay is cus i was worried guys wouldn't wanna use it.. but, like i said i'm not familiar with how it works so i guess i'll look into it later since i did read lots of posts abt how much every1 loves it.. and as far as the layouts, i wasn't talking about 4 money i am just going to be doing them and posting them on a site for any1 to use, but if you want me to do one special for you the way u want it i can do that. i am trying to get back into using photoshop because i've forgotten so much, but u can pm me and i'll see what i can do. since i can work on it while the kids r up lol.
another thing:
i havn't been camming lately because i started camming when i was pregnant and i was n the hospital on bedrest a couple wks, then had the baby a week after that and i have only cammed a few days since then and she's 4 months old already! im planning on trying to make atleast 45 a day from the 15th to the end of the yr. i had been on camfuze and cam4 and got banned from both, but i got ppl to buy my shows off the site so did my p p shows on yahoo and skype for $15 until u cum (up to 15 min) instead of a per min rate. sometimes i charged 20 or 25 or more if i didnt really care abt making money, but would take it if it came. i dont mind doing this since most guys cum in like 5 min anyway lol. I would log on the site and not smile, no flash, no nothing! just keep copying and pasting that i was doing pp shows and my im sn's and price. i would get abt 10 booked within the first 5 min! then, log off and do the shows! ugh, it sucked getting banned!! well, i havnt used my MFC account yet, but im gonna start now so do u think its a good way to get guys to my personal site & do private skype or yahoo shows? i'ts easier for me that way since i have a new baby and a 2 yr old so i'd rather do the private shows off and on throughout the day for guys like i have been doing since i started and just use LJ and MFC for new customers and a little extra money. is it a reasonable goal for me to expect to be able to get 3 private shows a night from there witin 5-15 min? or do most guys just want to pay on the site? this is y i was liking the visa cards so much because im not accepting the p p anymore after what i've read lol. sorry, long ass post..

So you are giving these guys your real name for the Visa virtual cards?
I just feel like that is way too big of a security risk. Some of these guys get really obsessed about finding where and who I am.
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
@ laurie- oh hell no!! i didnt use it yet.. i was going to but i was gonna give a fake name and use a fake address that actually exists, but just not my own address but i decided i just wont use it at all.. i can always sell my amazon or other gift cards 2 my friends 4 cash anyway.. and i can always use the spa gift cards for my waxes n stuff so i'll keep those.. but i dint wanna sign up for alert pay or any of those so im jus gonna use niteflirt, and the gift cards mostly.. i have been doing SOOOO good with nite flirt lately..
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
i looked into some other similar options & it seems american express e-gift cards only need an email like amazon does.

I have one! It has crazy fees and not everybody accepts them. Not sure how it works for payments though. Would they have to send you a gift card everytime, or could they reload yours somehow?

ohh that's a dissapointment, i thought it'd be similar to cash :/ i think they have to buy you a new one every time cause it doesn't seem you have an account that can be reloaded. thanks for replyin!

I think alertpay is well worth the trouble of signing up. I haven't used it for awhile but if I remember correctly guys can pay you with just their credit card without signing up, if you send them an invoice to their email (not a payment request). I believe it lets them pay a few times that way but eventually they will need an account, but if they have used it 3 or 4 times with no problem I'm thinking they will probably trust it by then.

yep, up to three transactions via invoice just with their credit card. i LOVE that feature.
Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
Ok FYI Ladies.
I have used these. I have friend that used to buy me these all the time from a site way back in the day.
You need to give them a plausible fake name but, you can give them a fake one. IT WILL work. However, you do have to give them a pin number that you will have to remember when the card comes, to use to activate it. Then when you get it, use it like you would a credit card, just not debit. I can pretty much guarantee you that those card from giftcards.com will work though. I have never been carded when using one of those. EVER. Who is anymore right? Like I said, make sure you give them a decent address and maybe a phone number even if needed. Hell, just go to the site and even like order one for a friend for like 10 bucks or even yourself maybe, just to see what the process is like JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK IT. I am pretty positive you should be OK though.
They can mail it to PO Boxes I believe. Mine use to come to my real address because they guy I used to get mine from was a fuck buddy I had that went to the military, so I know that they do come and they DO work. I think the limits on them are $3000 or less but do not quote me on that. I am not sure of the limits because it has been FOREVER.
What I have been doing now - have them go to the store - get a PREPAID visa gift card from Rite Aid or WalGreens, and send it that way....OR have them get a MoneyPak card and mail it to you....you have to have a GreenDot card already though. GreenDot cards are the way to go these days also. For those two...you can give them fake information as long as it gets to the right PO box or address you need it to get it...or if he gets you the moneypak and he is giving you the moneypak card over the pc, you load it through moneypak's, website and there's no information required - he just goes, buys the moneypak card, gives you the number and you put it in....just make sure you have the GreenDot card to put the money on...:)
Hope this information helps ladies! :)

Re: any1 use Visa Virtual Gift Cards??
How do you know someone bought one for you before it arrives in the mail? Our customers need to be able to pay for time on the spot and we need to be able to verify it right away, before doing the show. Unless the gift card company emails a notice to the recipient, I don't see this working for live time but maybe for gifts.
