Feel miffed over 25% price increase. Am i right or am i an idiot.

[Little Ralph]

I have been seeing same SP for several years, not exclusively but a couple of times a month. A year ago she hiked her prices by 25% but told me that as i was great customer the increase would not apply to me. Obviously i was happy with this situation. We get on great and the sex is top notch. I contacted her to book yesterday and she replied that she was putting up price in line with all other customers. I told her that her price increase would lead to me booking far less often. Her reply was pretty offhand, almost saying well please yourself.
On the one hand i accept she can charge whatever she can get and i appreciate i have had a decent discount for a good while. On the other i feel pissed off that the arrangment has changed. BTW there is no EAS going on, i like her and prefer to see her in preference to others becsusei have great time. I now feel like not seeing her, but am i cutting off my nose to spite my face?

[bristolnick]

Everyone deserves to make money. She can either see you or make more money seeing someone else. Either continue to book her or see someone else.

[Coriniumstud]

You say it’s gone up by 25%
So what is she charging in pounds for an hour

[Handel2020]

It's all about how you look at it. You were lucky to get a discount for as long as you did.

[alabama1]

You have to decide if she is still gvm after this 25% increase. 
( Better still, tell us who she is, then we could  advise you better). 
Personally, if I were in your shoes, I would still see her, but less often.

[big-al93]

The thing is, if since putting up her prices, she is still busy and has plenty of repeat custom at the new price, why should she see you for 20% less? Keeping some decent regulars on her old price meant that she could afford to play around with her rate to check she wasn't ott with the hike.

You had a year at the old rate, a year in which the cost of living spiralled. I understand why you are miffed but it would be unreasonable to expect the rate you first saw her at to remain forever.

If you feel the new rate is unreasonable then stop seeing her. If it is still reasonable (compared to similar SP's in your area) then don't cut your nose off to spite your face, because of feeling slighted and no longer a special customer.

[Little Ralph]

Dont think i can say who she is for the the following reason.She has not featured on AW or any other site for about 5 yrs. She stopped advertising because she said she had more than enough business from regs and she has other employment. This is the only reason i have not posted review.

No probs mate. She seems like a busy girl, and for this reason I would suggest taking my previous advice, keep seeing her, but less often. For all you know, by spending your hard earned elsewhere, you may find a new regular, who doesn't necessarily have to be cheaper, by the way.

[Jonestown]

It’s just business, not personal, if your car mechanic put his rates up after two or three years would wouldn’t be miffed in this way, or asking searching questions. As someone else said, pay the increase and see her less frequently, just keep alert for any decrease in service or enthusiasm. Good SPs at an affordable rate are hard to find at the moment, as you say no point to cut your nose off…………

So how do you know she increased her prices if she hasn’t advertised them for 5 years?

Or did she tell you she’d put prices up for everyone else except you, then said you qualify for the increase too 

It’s a transaction, if she’s still VFM at the increased rate, see her, if not, don’t.
Or as others have said, perhaps just see her less.

I’d suggest you don’t haggle, telling her ‘I won’t be able to see you as often’, is more likely to get you blacklisted than securing you a discount.

Doesn't add up mate, if she's only seeing regulars but put her prices up for everybody but you because you are a regular who gets charged the higher price. 

[shed]

What does the 25% increase equate to in a 30 or 60 minute visit?. I have a similar arrangement with a long standing provider who has recently hiked her prices. I just told her I would visit less frequently.

[Adoniron]

She's providing a service. You are just a paying customer, albeit a good one. Your choices are to suck it up and pay the extra, carry on seeing her but see her less or look for another regular. It's nothing personal so don't take it personally.

[Stevelondon]

Couldn’t help think along the lines of Davie………. Beat me to it.

Personally I think the OP is just miffed at this SP not treating him as her favourite. 

Things go up in price. Get used to it.

[s0whatsnew?]

ok, so you don't have EAS, but how about  "assumed favourite customer" ?   Its a bitter pill to swallow, the realization that you're nobody special to her.  I've been there myself.  On some level its a welcome breath of fresh air,  a window opened to reality, the rush that comes with a new realization.  Onwards and upwards !   

[RandomGuy99]

Just face it. She does what you like, so you'll pay her the extra 25%.

[Hornydevil666]

What is the new increased rate ?

[Dylanbob]

Assuming you have seen a couple of times a month for at least 5 years that's 120 visits.

[Zeusthedoc]

Doesn't add up mate, if she's only seeing regulars but put her prices up for everybody but you because you are a regular who gets charged the higher price. 

I'm confused by this too
You're the only regular she was charging the old price? Hmmm, strange.

[versace]

You are an idiot and suffering from EAS. End thread /

[Stevelondon]

He’s not. He’s just a tight git 

[Southernbloke]

In the past I have had girls who have increased their prices and have offered to let me pay the old price .
I always paid the new price so I didn’t get EAS .

[sim0256]

I think the mistake you made was telling her you would visit less often , this may causea rift between you two.
I would have just cut back without saying and see if she brought up the fact she was seeing less of you, then you could mention why. At least that way she brought up subject. 

[Mr Sinister]

He’s not. He’s just a tight git 

Exactly, he had it good for a while so just pay the increase or take your money elsewhere quite simply

[catweazle]

Same here, one SP I see reasonably  regularly increased her price by £10. She offered me the 'old' price but I give her the increased price,and she ( of course) doesn't object

You're an idiot.

Methinks you are also holding out on us somewhat or, frankly, telling porkies to get an answer to your question. 3 times a month for several years, huh? Do you think that's infrequent?

I also don't understand your reluctance to share what the price increase looks like, e.g. £80 to £100 for half hour or £160 to £200/hr? If she hasn't advertised for 5 years then you've been enjoying 2018 rates over this period, right? Lucky bastard. And now you're miffed because you're not "special" anymore. Have your bills not gone up over the last 5 years?

Personally, I would have thanked her for giving me a "discount" for all those years and said I appreciate the cost of living has gone up for everyone. However, I'm also a bit strapped these days but would still like to see her, so is there some compromise that could be made? She might soften and not raise by the full 25% but, equally, she might say no. In that case, I wouldn't be a dick and sour the relationship by threatening withdrawal of business (ooops, too late) and decide if I wanted to see her again.

Hi, I am a very infrequent punter, mostly due to lack of funds and health issues. I am intrigued by an AW post in Shropshire, calls herself "Forever Young", very few details on profile. I have sent several messages but no reply, has anybody seen her recently, there are no reviews posted.

Hi, New member first review. I am a long standing  but due to finances infrequent punter. Saw Ava in August when things were opening up.
Communication: Very easy initially via AW then phone. Gave good directions, very friendly.
Location: Nice flat just outside town centre, large car park nearby.
Looks: She is a very attractive girl. AW details say size 12, i would guess 14 more likely but she is by no means fat, great shape nice tits. She is really friendly and has a good attitude. Fairly talkative and can hold a conversation, think she is a bright person.
Services: Offered shower, which i had (always think good manners to shower)  She made it very clear what was on offer, all services covered (which was fine by me). Lots of kissing (she asked if i was ok with kissing, given the covid situation) very enjoyable. Oral and reverse oral, which she appeared to enjoy and made all the right noises, think she had orgasm, if not she is great actress. Sex in various positions followed resulting in happy conclusion all to quickly. No clock watching. As mentioned above she has a great attitude. Had another quick shower before leaving.
Would i visit again. I think so, £80 for half hr easilly worth it.

I used to regularly see an SP and one day I noticed her rates had gone up, so I asked about the change. She said I could continue paying the old rate, so I did as I saw every 2 weeks for about a year or so. If the frequency of my visits dropped then she might have said you need to pay the new rate as I'm not getting as much income from you now.

It's entirely up to the SP what policy she applies. If the SP is happy that you are a regular client and she is happy to charge you the old rate to retain you as a client, then all good. If she wants to charge you the new rate, then I guess you have to review the situation. If you are happy with the service the SP provides then you'll probably be happy to take a reasonable increase. If the increase is too much and you are on the fence regarding the quality of the service provided, then you may decide to go elsewhere. It's the same problem all businesses have when they increase their charges e.g McDonald's increasing the price of a burger causes them to lose some customers.  Imagine if McDonald's said customers who have bought more than 2 burgers in the past 12 months get burgers at the old price and everyone else has to pay the new price. They'd be making less profit on the old customers than on the new ones.

A price increase might cause you to look elsewhere and elsewhere may or may not be as good or better. If you throw your toys out of the pram at the SP because of the price increase, then she is unlikely to want you back. A price increase may result in you reducing the frequency of your visits, which would lead to a reduction in bookings if the SP from you, but they might be happy to accept that as they'll fill the vacant slots with new clients who are happy to pay the new rate.

It makes it easier for the SP to manage their clients and their books as they know all customers are paying the same rates. If they start having to say client A pay £x and client B pays £y then it gets harder to manage and presumably to file her taxes too.

It's entirely up to the SP to set their rates.

If you don't like the rate, then you are free to go elsewhere. Nobody is forcing you to see the SP.

The SP can probably easily replace you, but can you easily replace the SP?

[Bornslippy]

Most of these girls are noticing a slowdown in business, hence why she will have to charge you the same. Mugg her of and move on

Are they noticing a slowdown in business?

[Bornslippy]

2 WG i recently spoke to have. And one girl i personally know (dont fuck her) has also noticed a downturn. Maybe im just generalising but I dont think so though. Other punters i know  have all greatly reduced their meets. As have I.

[luv2kiss54]

Its time to move on OP. The price thing will always be on your mind if you see her at the new rates. Best to cut ties in my opinion.

[PilotMan]

Well going by the difficulty in getting availability for any decent SP's, I doubt that's the case.

[Bornslippy]

Fai enough. I beg to differ though

[Colston36]

AS others have said, you have not said what the rate is. Without that information it's very hard to say anything helpful, beyond the comments made, which I agree with. So on balance you are an idiot to expect much useful advice.

[Stevelondon]

It’s been mentioned that SP’s are experiencing a downturn in business.
Where’s that information coming from. ?

I’ve not seen it being reported on the news anytime over the last few weeks.

[theaccountant]

You're an idiot.

Been in the same situation with you a few times. I do have regulars that I see once a month or two. I switch them around if I get bored or don't want to pay their rates. An SP can charge whatever she feels like she wants. It's up to you whether you want to pay those rates or find someone else you feel like you can afford.

Remember, no matter how much rapport you build with an SP, after seeing her for whatever time you consider to make you a regular, you are still paying for her time and she is happily taking that money off you.

I had one SP who upped her hourly rate by £20, but I was paying her old rates since I was a regular. When she applied those rates to me, I visited her less frequently and only if I felt like I wanted to. Currently, she is off my regulars list as I've found other SPs who I enjoy and want to pay for their time.

In your situation, I have the same opinion as others in the thread. Either, thank her for the discount over the last 5 years and keep seeing her at her new rates or find someone else that you're willing to pay £x for.

What was she charging you as a "regular" and what is she asking for now, that you're not that special?

[pantywetter]

I would also feel a bit miffed and probably take my spend elsewhere in your situation. 

I wouldn’t whack rates up aggressively on my own long standing clients (in a totally different industry!) with a take it or leave it attitude.   

And if I was a long standing customer of eg an accountant I would expect the loyalty to at least be acknowledged if they were increasing rates steeply.

At least there are plenty more fish in the sea!

[tynetunnel]

You’ll either think she’s still worth splurging the higher rate for, or you won’t. Only you know how good it is and how she makes you feel.

[wristjob]

If she's your best option at the new price don't cut off your nose to spite your face and appreciate the discount. If the market dipped and she dropped her prices would you have been willing to pay the old price?

Escort rates can vary and £130 is definitely the new £100 round here but I would say average prices haven't really gone up in the last 15 years so we're not doing so bad.

[Munter84]

I told her that her price increase would lead to me booking far less often. Her reply was pretty offhand, almost saying well please yourself.

This is probably the part where you went wrong. What were you expecting her to do at this point, back down and beg for your continued custom?

She had undoubtedly weighed up the pros and cons of the situation before breaking the news to you. Her decision was already made. You had nothing at all to gain by giving a sour reaction.

[TomTank]

I reckon it's an ex Sandys lady who doesn't like to discuss showers 

[estats]

An escort can charge what she likes for her time (as any of us can) and the success or otherwise of that pricing is determined in their income.

I don't think you should feel miffed or otherwise, the free market is the free market.

However, what I do feel is we are in the eye of a financial storm and discretionary spend business will come under massive pressure in due course. You always see a boom, before a bust (excuse the pun). Many markets have hidden liquidity issues, many leading economic indicators are flashing red.

Prices that are rising in discretionary spend areas will soon be falling (in real terms and I believe in nominal terms).

[sim0256]

I have a price range that I am prepared to pay ( in my rather expensive local area) if a WG puts up prices and therefore moves out of the range I either stop or cut back on the visits . I'm talking regs here, and one a while back said I wasn't about much anymore . I told her she was now top end for me and that others were seeing more!
She said she was worth it and I agreed and told her 'thats why I still call occasionally ' . Her comment was we must work something out as she likes to keep regs as they are easier to deal with than newbies. I suggested we go back to old rate she suggested adding a tenner and I agreed . Result both happy.

BTW she would be well worth her new rate to any one who didn't know her old charges!!

[Hobbit]

I don't see the point of you posting this here. What are you hoping to accomplish? I can understand you want to vent but we are not trained psychologists as far as I know.

Prices go up and down, just like our dicks and we have to live with it or move on. There are no set rules forcing service providers to have set rates for long-term regulars. Some do it and some don't. For me, if it costs too much then I move on and find someone else. I would suggest you do the same.

[pythondan]

I had a similar situation with a girl also not on AW who put her price up from £120 per hour to £150. I was a bit miffed and didn't see her for three months, tried some other girls, but am now back seeing her once a month and enjoying it. In this case she was just bringing her rates in line with similar providers.
Tbh it was probably a useful reminder that I am not a special punter to her. I do confess to having a bit of EAS for her so this was a useful wake up call.
My advice would be to do what I did - don't see her for a while, fuck some other girls then see how you feel
