Since March I noticed a surge in the ratio of (bored, sexually repressed, locked down) timewasters contacting me so I started replying to everyone who seemed inclined to chat or exchange pics etc to pay me in amazon uk vouchers for text chat or video chat or custom videos etc. Seemed to silence the timewasters instantly and I got quite a few vouchers. but I noticed there's often a delay getting the voucher or sometimes their bank blocks them from buying it especially if it's over £100, or they get locked out of their amazon etc so I went looking for alternative vouchers that clients can buy online and send by email. I got an Aesop voucher which was nice. I love their body washes and massage oils. And recently I picked up a chatty regular who's been paying me for custom made videos in Fortnum and Mason Vouchers. Those seem to come through instantly, banks don't seem to mind if it's over £100 and you can redeem them on their website and get nice things delivered. I ordered a bottle of patron tequila and patron coffee liqueur which are now on my top shelf waiting for the day I can invite friends over to help drink them. Anyone have any other e-vouchers they can recommend?

John Lewis/Waitrose are my preferred e-vouchers as it pays for my grocery/household shopping, and various beauty stuff.

I didn't think of either of these as options. Good to know. Looks like they can both be used online or in store which is handy since they're both within one block of me.

Thanks for this I am interested however I find some of the delays with Amazon disappear when it's obvious I won't go ahead without them, but I am aware there can be some delay. Quite a few will buy the shop bought Amazon cards, send the codes from the back.
I am nowhere near a Waitrose and not sure they deliver to my part of the country.

How about e-vouchers for whichever supermarket you shop at? I think all supermarkets offer these and they can be scanned instore or used online should you prefer to have your food delivered.
Alternatively, ask for evouchers for whatever store you like! So long as it is easy for the client to buy and send you the voucher, the choice is pretty much limitless.

I'll second this and I would also add M&S :D
-
I like M and S too, and you only need to give your email! These are the ones I usually ask for, but sometimes I worry that it might put the client off, as possibly M and S doesn't gel with the sexy image I try to portray. So I say it's for food shopping and home furnishings (not true, it's for all the lovely pyjamas and loungewear they have in right now but I guess no one has to know that!)

I have some lovely very sexy lingerie from M&S, running joke as I'm complimented I'll mention it's M&S.

Ha... yes... you will have to huskily breathe "I'm just slipping on my M&S knickers for you" pre booking ;D

I think it is interesting that we all seem happy to accept vouchers in lieu of cash, yet, some of us are concerned they might put the client off if it’s something practical rather than sexy.
I was lucky enough to be sent a lot of Agent Provocateur vouchers from several clients for my birthday earlier this year. I only ever buy from their sale, and as there wasn’t much I liked, I’ve not bought much recently. This means I have almost £500 worth of vouchers unspent. This is not a stealth post, honestly, but sometimes I resent these vouchers when it would be so much more practical if they were for John Lewis, Waitrose, M&S or even Tesco. I do like the idea of Fortnum & Mason vouchers. I might have to add that to my list of approved stores as they might be handy for buying Christmas presents!!

I wish John Lewis would be more reliable- but recently they started blocking payments when you cannot confirm identity.
I also like treatwell, that way you can spend it on beauty, hair salons, spa, etc.
Amazon works well even if we get excessive of it (you can but buy Netflix gc, I paid my account for up to April, lol. Also you can buy yourself user gc by amazon, so I buy myself £60 of worth a lot and use it)
Etsy is another one!
I also started liking getting various restaurant gift cards so I can treat myself to nice dinners.
Also theatre vouchers.
Usually best to look those vouchers who are not expiring in 1 year time but rather 2 or for a life.
Some airlines and eurostar has gift vouchers.

Really? I've found John Lewis nothing but super easy to purchase/use. Their customer service is exemplary, I even managed to persuade them to convert online account credit into an e-giftcard as I hadn't realised the card would not be refunded.
John Lewis e-giftcards are purchased online via an email address. No need to confirm identity as you're sent a barcode which can be used online or scanned in store.

Hey don't knock it, their (now discontinued) garter side mini briefs used to send my ex BF in a tizzy. Had a few sharp inhalations from my physio guy too too when it came to undressing ;D

Yes, but I have lost recently £60 on the booking as JL sent me not barcode but when I tried to download card they say wait 12h, I waited 2 weeks and itstill the same. So I have got more than £600 by deposits of JL vouchers in recent years but apparently it ended now for me.
While my friend never could use it because it happened for her instantly.
-
That is very strange. I wonder if the sender had the gift card refunded, and why the barcodes don't work for you.

I don't think so because one time client send me deposit and it didn't work, then I asked for other way deposit and he just sent £150 by bank transfer, all ok.
I think JL sometimes flags some emails instantly or some others after a while

Are there no deposit holding schemes or anything we can use to accept deposits instead of having to accept vouchers etc? I've had this problem where clients are apprehensive to pay a deposit and offered vouchers etc but I have always been a bit wary.
