Cost of membership £££

[DaveyboyC]

Membership cost me £50 yesterday is this correct. ? Paid with Bitcoin as directed. 

[southcoastpunter]

this is a question for the Mods/Admin. Best way to contact them is to "report" your post which brings it to their attention. (i have done that for you)

[Thephoenix]

Just curious!

£50 membership for what, if you've been a member since 2021?

I believe it is an annual membership.

[Iloveoral]

Did you get a renewal notice for £50?

It’s not something I get involved with to be honest, though I thought it was £25 previously as an annual subscription for members who joined after a certain date.
I’m sure the boss will comment when he’s free.

No this site said £25 so I bought £30.

Then copied the address to the btc app.

The app said not enough btc or something similar.

I then added another £25 to 30 pound and I then tried to pay incrementally and its just kept saying not enough btc to cover.

Eventually it prompted me to use the full amount approx £50 which I did and here I am.

[EdskiV]

I joined a couple of weeks ago and it said £25 but worked out about £33 with conversion rates and commission fees. Took about 4 days too.... I refreshed a million times as I was desperate to get activated.

[theeaglekid]

cost me abut £30 when I joined.

BTC was on mad one as was about £60 if i went through that route.

Ended up with BTC Cash as an alternative.
Not sure if I will renew again next year though.

But I will probably do a few TOFTT and call it quits.

[FiveKnuckles]

Use bitcoin cash (BCH) next time for less volatility.

Would prefer to use tether on polygon network.  Literally pennies for transfer and stable coin.  Wonder if the boss man can implement.

[DaveyboyC]

I'll not be renewing at that rate unfortunately.

I hady first punt last night and the experience was mediocre in every way, thinking of calling it quits already.  but have enjoyed this site, just don't think punting is for me.

Review the punt. You may get all sorts of advice on how to make future ones better. Or pack it in cos iy'll save you a fortune in future!

This is right, honestly I’ve had some terrible punts, it’s part of the game, I’ve also had the most surreal experiences that could not happen to me in civvy life.

[EdskiV]

It's a difficult one because it was an outcall and she came to my house and she also has my details as I sent a bank transfer. She said shes read her reviews on here so she will know who I am.

Kind of left myself open really.
Looking back I made a lot of newbie mistakes

Maybe I should try an incall with someone highly reviewed and lots of pics.

[big-al93]

I can only assume you didn't read any of the forum before booking this punt. 1st time, an outcall to your home, paid by bank transfer  Hopefully you won't make those mistakes again.

Should have read the Punting Wiki first

External Link/Members Only

We've all made mistakes.

You could always join under a different ID on here and wait a few months until she has had many other SSs visit and then don't be too specific in your review. I suspect most SPs get fewer
outcalls so it is easier to identify reviewers of these bookings.

And don't mention ukpunting to SPs you see. None of them really like it. They tolerate its some barely.

That's the stupid thing about this....I've read UK punting for two weeks but had no response from the first few I contacted (well reviews ones) then saw this one, one one picture on her profile and only does outcall.

Didn't intend to do bank transfer but thats what she asked for after a few days of messaging.

FFS!! You must have been reeking of desperation, I get that booking for the 1st time is daunting, you should have just found one showing available today, with phone number displayed (they have to pay for that, so more likely to get a response). Preferably one who does in calls unless there was a specific reason you booked an outcall.
I live in a punting wasteland and managed to find that, although I tend travel for an hour or more to have more choice.

[big-al93]

And I hope you have a punting phone or sim and not using your own phone connected to social media ect.

So what? If she was really that crap you're not going to see her again
just review her

See reply #20. 

[EdskiV]

See reply #20.

Not if she only gets shown her review profile or the escort section for the east Midlands. Unlikely she is going to read every topic in every section of the site, but not impossible. If she does then she knows she's not been named (yet)

[EdskiV]

I will but I'll give it a week (I've pretty much wrote it in my phone notes) think it will.be best to have a punt with a really well rated GFE first then I can compare and reflect whether it was bad because of her or if I was at fault.

[daviemac]

Nobody has to show her anything, escorts can and do read various sections of the site, they even post on some of them.

She might be a member and you wouldn't necessarily know. Even if she isn't a member the cost of being a member might be of interest to her.

I mean when we had a little chat about feedback at the end she said I couldn't because she had arranged the booking off AW and I would've needed to click make booking on their site so I also said she has reviews on UK punting and she implied she had been shown them (by her regular punters?)

Imaginary Rule 1: never talk to girls about this site, your membership of it, or discuss feedback. Far better to disavow all knowledge. Discussing feedback opens all kinds of problems for you.
As for AW there is a way to leave "info only" unrated feedback even if there was no confirmed booking - but thats a lesson for another day.
As for this meeting, review her based on what you experienced. No need to see other girls to establish a base line of good or bad. If you thought it was shite, say so

[JR1983]

Danm, this thread took a turn...

First off, I joined about a week ago. Cost me about £30 with processing fees.

Secondly, inviting an escort to your home just seems crazy to me. Outcall as far as I'm concerned would be to a hotel you're at and I always pay in cash. In or out.

For a better punting experience I'd find a girl with good feedback on AW that is English. And don't skimp on it. You'll be able to ask for what you want that way. Then book on AW and formalise over the phone. If she thinks you're going to be giving feedback she might perform just that little bit better.

Good luck in the future.

Most experienced punters take AW feedback with a massive pinch of salt, it's basically a load of crap. Negative comments are avoided for fear of a retaliatory neg in return.

Find one on AW then check on here for reviews, they are much more reliable.

Oh and has already been mentioned talking about this site is something we stress should not be done, don't mention it and if they do act ignorant of it. Anyone found to be using this site to gain any favours get's banned.

As a review community we share different opinions, in this case you are certainly welcome to yours, different people see different values to the same thing, if this site doesn’t benefit you or meet your needs for £25 that’s totally understandable matey

I paid £50: mste ??

[Head1]

So why didn't you read it properly and send slighty over ie £26?   You were never told by us that you hadn't paid enough  You would only get that message if the payment had confirmed and you had underpaid . You just went straight in with £48 

[Southernbloke]

Just my experience but I found it most confusing when I first joined. Quite happy to pay for membership I just wish there was a more straightforward way of doing so.
Maybe a way forward is to allow the people who are happy to pay via card payment and those who need to remain anonymous pay via bitcoin. I would quite happily pay the processing fees on top of the payment.
The trouble is that you ask for £25 worth of bitcoin but I didn’t know how much bitcoin to buy in the first place so I had to buy an extra amount to cover the fees.
Trying to be helpful not criticising

Likewise, I had to keep changing the amount to match the .10186 part and then a little on top. The upload fees too made it about £32 plus a few pounds now trapped in my Bitcoin cash wallet. The currency had surged that day though

My first punt was shit as well, my nerves got the better of me, and I came away thinking punting wasn't for me but decided to give it another go & luckily (I wasn't even aware of punting forums then so couldn't do research) had a cracking punt with a great SP, after that I never looked back.
You've got a great resource here in UKP, use it to find an SP in your area with great reviews & that you like the look of & see how you get on.

Straight in with £48 ?  What on earth are you talking about  ?

The app kept prompting me to add more as I didn't have sufficient funds ?

Part and parcel mate - I had only one terrible one (Victoria Summers) - rest were decent.

After her, I wanted to quit, but then the allure of some of these ladies pulled me back in.

Just curious!

£50 membership for what, if you've been a member since 2021?

Yeah, I'm a bit confused too.

[Blackpool Rock]

Yeah, I'm a bit confused too.

The OP joined in Sept 21 so i'm thinking the membership fee was applicable then 

Looking at the stats there were no new members for a few months from Jan - Nov 2020 (apart from 33 in June) due to an issue with the software and Head 1 asked members for contributions so the software could get fixed.
Membership opened again in Dec 20 and there was a deluge of new members in Jan 21 which was as I recall around the time that the membership fee was introduced possibly late that month or in the Feb 

[DaveyboyC]

So nothing more from the powers that be on this ? I.E where did the overpayment  ?  Hmmmm

[Blackpool Rock]

I've never paid for anything using bitcoin and don't hold any so haven't experienced how a bitcoin wallet etc works however reading back in the thread and the message posted in reply #32 by Head1 it appears to me that UKP asked for and would have received £25 for your membership fee.

Any extra that you paid logically seems to have been paid in transaction fees to your wallet / transaction provider 
I have no idea how much these fees are however if they are payable for every transaction including topping up a payment then they will quickly mount up, in fact a quick Google indicates that bitcoin transaction fees vary depending on how much trading is happening and if there is a backlog 

Perhaps you should be questioning the bitcoin wallet / transaction provider as to where your extra money went rather than UKP

Ffs. I told you.  You said your 'app' told you to pay more ,not the payment page
It's not my fault you decided to pay too much 

[DaveyboyC]

I've contacted the btc app team and the full amount was paid to this address ?

what exactly are you hoping for? a refund? an extra years membership?

the way you’re going about it you’re more likely to get banned than anything else IMO.

you made a mistake and sent too much, not the end of the world so why the drama?
