Credit Cards & ATMs at brothels

(1/8) > >>

Scarpia:
Hello all,

As a new member making my first post, I hope to shock everyone by NOT asking a question about the monger rate! This is about payment methods at the brothels. A post from January discussed the merits of cash vs charge. I would like to know about using a credit card at a brothel. Are you folks actually talking about using the card like you would with any other purchase, or are there ATMs on site where you can withdraw cash via your credit or debit card and then pay that way? I'm assuming it is the former.

Is 6% really the standard fee for either of those transactions at a brothel? When using credit and debit cards at an ATM, there tends to be a daily limit on how much cash you can withdraw, making that an issue. Any advice from experienced members would be appreciated. I am mainly focused on Inez and Mona's at the moment, although info re: any other brothels would be welcome too. Naturally, this pertains to paying for parties, not just buying drinks and such.

Thanks in advance!

Well for Mona's and Inez if you use a credit card to pay (like any other purchase) they charge you $5 extra for each $100 spent, so $100 would be charged $105, $200 would be charged $210, etc... They also have an atm inside that you can use to withdraw cash, it has a flat fee, like pretty much all atms, and it depends on what you bank would charge you too.

Some other brothels don't charge an extra credit card fee, some do, but I'm not up to date on other places.

The Desert Club does not have an ATM. We have credit cards and we do not charge a fee. You’re always welcomed to pay cash or go across the street to the ATM at the owl club casino. Just don’t forget the 25 mph driving.

I think that it's a standard for ATMs to only allow $500 of withdrawals per day.  Maybe some machines are different and maybe some banks can increase the limit if you contact them first.  But this is something to keep in mind.

If in Elko don’t forget about Gold Dust West’s free ATM. Also Elko has several national banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo (if one of those happens to be your bank)

A credit card surcharge is somewhat common. I heard that it can be hard to get a credit card processor for that line of business, hence they are often stuck using one with higher rates, and need to pass those fees on to the consumer.

Also if you are on this board I believe Mustang will waive the fee.
