What type of card was she using?
See we need to educate ourselves here. We seriously do because LAChloe's statement is not completely true. Greendot IS against using THEIR CARD for adult but there is a way around it.
If you use a greendot prepaid card or any card with the greendot stamp on it (the round green circle) - they can find out you've been using the card to buy ads and ultimately shut down your account.
However, with the american express card, greendot cannot shut down your card. While the greendot moneypack can be used to reload an american express card, american express (the company) is NOT affiliated with greendot which is why you don't see a greendot sticker at the back of the american express card.My walmart greendot prepaid card was shutdown by greendot which is why I switched to AMEX and one of the questions I asked was if they were against using the card for adult transactions, their answer? No You can use AMEX anywhere that will accept AMEX.
Yep Greendot shut down my card (and lost the check with the remaining balance >:( ) but Rushcard on the other hand has been way better. I also started paying for most of my ads with a Visa Gift Card but sometimes I still get too lazy to go buy one lol.
One thing I'd like to ad is that this thread was about receiving deposits. If you load the money the client sends you with greendot , there is no way they will no what the money is for. Buying an ad on backpage is another thing. However, like I said, using AMEX is safe for adult transactions, any card that has the greendot logo on the back? NO.
why are any of you buying ads with anything other than Vanilla Visa cards???? use them for everything you possibly can. If the total you're trying to purchase is more than $500, a simple phone call will to customer service at the vendor will allow you to split the payment. Keep it all "cash" as much as possible!
Bumping for updates.
Unless they are a distance and absolutely cannot, I accept deposits in person. If I am out for lunch or have a free moment I have them drop in or meet me face-to-face for like 5 mins. I hardly ever require a deposit or payment upfront but I’m highly considering making it a habit as soon as I get my incall situation worked out.
