    Default where to store money on strip trip

    i recently changed my bank to a smaller one and i just realized when i travel again i won't be able to deposit money in the atms like i used to. i'm going to vegas soon and my bank actually has some "shared branches" there which means i could go during the day and deposit last night's $$ but that would be a pain in the ass to do every day.

    i was wondering what you recommend i should do.
    -go out of my way to deposit it at the shared branch every day before i go to work?
    -open up a new account with a bank like citibank or boa just for my trip and close it when i get home?
    -go to walgreens and put the money on those prepaid visas?
    -just store it in my hotel room?

    also, if anyone has a good recommendation for a small sized hard locking suitcase that i could bring to the clubs that'd be great. i've never had problems with my duffle bag but i think better safe than sorry.

    I would always put mine in the bank while on the road. You never know what could happen! In the bank, the money is insured. You could lose the prepaid visa, and hotel staff can (it's happened to me) steal from you while you are at work.

    I would look into a prepaid card, either serve or bluebird by american express (you can compare the two online by googling it but I think Bluebird is better)

    You can buy moneypaks anywhere and load it, or vanilla reload packs to load it with cash or deposit money at Walmart

    here's the thread where it's discussed: http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...erican+express

    if someone steals the prepaid card I could always report it stolen and get a new one. my only issue with that is im not sure if theres a limit on how much you're allowed to deposit. my main issue is how far out of my way am I going to have to go every day before and after work to secure this money. I wont have a car.

    Not having a car does make things more challenging, maybe you could be money orders and mail them to yourself? Certified though so you know they won't get lost

    (touring escort here) I have a paypal account, and just get moneypack to load into it. The only thing is they have a monthly load limit of $4k. Thats why though Im looking to also get a BlueBird account, because you can load money onto the card with a vanilla reload pack, which you can buy in the same place as moneypak... Theres a $500 limit for each pak, but you can buy as many paks as you need at one time.

    Anyway, with the PayPal account, you can xfer the money to your bank account...so if something happens to your card, the money is already headed to your bank anyway. Also, Paypal has an amazing security feature. I keep my money in it and use it as a regular card, if an unusual charge happens, they dont let it go through period. Ive had to call the security center and verify its me to let a charge go throuh, only about a 10m process, would rather do that than it lets charges go through and I find out later after someone else has cleaned me out.

    My bank is a military bank with next to no physical locations...no where Ill ever be anyway. I used to deposit checks by mail, never had a problem with that. I *think* you can go to any bank and get a certified check, they just charge you a fee if youre not a member of the bank, then you can do a deposit by mail, but Im not totally sure. Not sure if all banks even allow banking by mail for one, and for two...still trying to do my research on this as a possibility.

    Or you could just open a bank account while you're on the road at a major bank and either just use cash withdrawals when you need to (unless you have time to get the debit card in the mail) or do bank transfers from one account to another if you want to transfer it over. Then you can just close the account down if you don't want it anymore when you're done.

    @blacksharpie- can I get a moneypack that would transfer to paypal at a 24 hour walgreens/cvs? that sounds pretty ideal

    @fiendish- yeah thats what I was thinking the best option would be. like I said, my bank actually has shared locations in vegas (not sure about other cities im thinking of going to tho) but I really dont want to cab to my hotel with the $$, keep it in a room with other girls, and cab back to one of these locations before they close at 5 just to cab back to the hotel every single day. id much rather deposit the $$ directly after work every single night.

    On trips I've always either had my car, or in hotels I've stored the money in a MEGA weird place where I was sure nobody would think to look (Inside my slippers, in an opaque moisturiser bottle or tub, inside a stuffed toy) or depending on the amount, in my tipjar shoes-so it was always 'on me'. The hours I was working meant depositing in a bank wasn't possible even though I had a mainstream bank acocunt-there wasn't one open anywhere near in the hours I would have been able to get to one!
    I'm so so paranoid with money. Some girls I know leave the strip club, go out to the bar next door and get drunk and just have their money in their bags the whole time-I even had a close bouncer friend who I would give my cash to and he would transfer it via internet banking on his 'phone the same night-even if I was only going out for one drink I'd do that! SO paranoid about money I am... Thinking about it-if HE had have had it stolen or lost it, would he have still transferred it hmm..

    Yup, I buy the moneypak at 7-eleven or CVS, and load it into my Paypal card right away.

    Im not too worried about the paper trail with this, because I claim it for taxes. Besides, the only proof I had for income to get my apartment, was by giving them a report I printed from PayPal with my earnings and I told them I freelanced. So if you want to be able to do important stuff like get a home or car or whatever, its good to have some way of showing you have a job.

    What about a safety deposit box? I think you can get these at the post office as well as a bank.

    In regard to a safety deposit box ... that is only available at a single physical bank location ( which is inaccessible when on the road ). It is also only available during banking hours. It is also potentially exposed to inspection / seizure by the IRS via a request to bank officials. And it can also potentially result in bank officials issuing a 'suspicious activity' report on you to the IRS based on a pattern of frequent access.

    A post office box is similarly only available at a single physical location. It is far less secure than a bank safety deposit box. Ant it is similarly only available during USPS business hours. A slightly more accessible, slightly more secure option is to rent a box at a 'mail drop' i.e. MBE / UPS Store.

    As to PayPal, while the probability of discovery is typically less for dancers than for camgirls, PayPal does have an official policy prohibiting the use of its accounts for funds coming from the adult entertainment industry. This can potentially lead to the forfeiture of all funds held in a PayPal account, if PayPal discovers ( or is tipped off ) an account is being used for adult industry money.

    MoneyPak's do not have any similar risks, and they will not 'ask any questions' ... and essentially offer all of the advantages of money orders. However, MoneyPak's DO have fairly high embedded transaction fees rolled into the purchase price as compared to money orders.

    Have you considered renting a car? You'll have a lot more options to go somewhere to deposit your money.

    Maybe a secure briefcase. Something like this:

    I used to do this and liked it. By keeping the receipt of the entire transaction, as well as the rip-off stub receipt of the money order, I could always go back to CVS/Walgreens and, if I needed to, get that money back in cash, minus the fee for buying it. However, this changed a few years back, and drugstores started requiring that you contact whichever company and cancel the money order, and then they have to mail it back to you which takes three weeks. Obviously, you wouldn't do this if you had the money order on you and just could deposit it into a bank account.

    However, if you buy your money orders from the post office, you could mail home the actual money order, and then if you needed money-- you would have to go into a post office with the receipt of the transaction, and they would cancel it right then and hand you back the money.

    Banks are easier but if you or anyone else goes the money order route-- buy from the post office if possible. Lost money orders, or needing your money right that second is a bitch if you're buying from cvs/walgreens and you have to go through the money order company rather than the drugstore that took your money in the transaction to begin with.

    Ohhhh, gosh, I wish there were a similar way of doing this while overseas -- I hate the paper trail, too. International money orders just don't cut it, and with those naked body scanners.. sheesh.

    Just be careful with safes in hotels...they do have a master key / unlock code, and its very common for housekeeping to get into them.

    If you use a credit union, and I prefer them to state or nationally chartered banks for depository accounts, look here: http://www.cuswirl.com/Home/p/295627/Default.aspx.

    The shared branch system lets you make deposits in many places just as if you were going to your local branch. Also, the CU's that participate in the shared branch system often share ATMs as well.

    That's what I do. It doesn't matter that I have to go every day to deposit the money. I'd rather that than having my it stolen.

    Im just now realizing that paypal takes forever to process $$ and they also charge fees or %s which im not interested in. I suppose I am left with opening up a checking account with a big bank that has no envelope atms and then either closing the account when I get back or use my week of big deposits as leverage to try to get a better credit card or savings account through said bank. I am not interested in taking time out of my day (and sleep) to visit banks while they are open because I plan on working 9pm-6am, so that would be very inconvenient.

    thanks for all of your help!
