With Amazon gift certificates, all they need to know is an email address.
So it's really each to our own discretion as to the amount we ask for .Does the higher the rate of your booking determines your deposit amount or is it the same regardless .ie 10 evoucher for a £60.00 service 2 hour booking £50.00 Deposits
But that could be because of your particular and unusual physique... I was making a general point that the more standard or easy the booking should be, the less incentive there is for clients to pay a deposit. If someone is difficult to get a booking with, or options are limited geographically, or an SP offers a unique service etc. etc., a deposit scheme will be more viable.
Amazon preferred but then my username is my Amazon account name and I get stuff sento my home address so that doesn't feel the best way.
I've had 3 AW clients each with 10 us great reviews muck me about even after they sent me a £50 deposit via PayPal and Amazon. A refreshed lesson to me reminding me that nobody is to be trusted. Short story is 2 paid for me to turn up and they just looked, the other kept changing hotels and sent so many texts and emails it was unnerving. He cancelled at last minute then harassed via same. I guess that amount of money isn't much to some and they got discounted entertainment.Amazon preferred but then my username is my Amazon account name and I get stuff sento my home address so that doesn't feel the best way.
Ian, you made me laugh.I am paranoid about someone at Amazon seeing my email name and knowing it is my work name.Name on hotel room is a good idea K212. Or a home bill. Thanks
