Deposits and Screening Fees
Cash Option: Green Dot Money Pak
There are zillions of chain pharmacies and grocery stores that carry the Green Dot reloadable credit cards and the means to reload them. Click the link above to enter your zip code and find a store near you. Before you go anywhere, call the store and ask them to check whether they have IN STOCK the Green Dot Money Pak, not just the Green Dot credit cards. Emphasize that you're not asking about the credit cards, just the refill Money Pak cards. If they don't have the Money Pak in stock, call the next closest store on the list. It will be in stock at the first or second store that you call, but you will be less annoyed at me if you don't physically have to go to more than one store to find it.
At the store, take the Green Dot Money Pak (it will look like a card to add minutes to a cell phone) to the cash register and tell them you would like to put $50 on the card. They will ask you for $54.95 (there is a service fee) IN CASH. Ask them whether there is a delay in when the card will be active. Scratch off (don't peel off) the silver strip on the back of the Money Pak. You need to email, IM, or call me to give me that number. Once I have the number, I have the cash, but you have maintained anonymity.
Credit Card Options
The absolute easiest way to pay a deposit by credit card, online, is to send an amazon.com giftcard to
. Amazon doesn't give me any information on you at all, not even your email address, when you use this method, so it is anonymous to me even if it isn't anonymous to your amazon account / credit card.
Another option is for you to sign up up for and send a deposit via alertpay.com to
A final option is for you to send it via payments.amazon.com to
Refunds
Screening fees are non-refundable, so read my website thoroughly (I know, it's long) before calling for a phone screening. Every phone screening that ended in me rejecting the client was because they clearly didn't read the website. Watching my videos and looking at my pictures does not constitute reading the website.
If you cancel 24 or more hours in advance of your scheduled appointment, your deposit is, for some payment methods, refundable. Alternatively, I can use your deposit as the deposit for a future session. Green Dot Deposits are not refundable, which is the price you pay for anonymity of cash. Amazon gift cards are not refundable either. I can return deposits done via payments.amazon.com or alertpay.com, minus the card processing fees.
If you cancel before your session, but less than 24 hours in advance, I will apply the deposit to the cost of your next session, but will require a new additional deposit to re-schedule. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance and do not want to re-schedule, you forfeit your deposit.
If you fail to notify me any time before the appointment that you are cancelling your session, you forfeit your deposit and will not be eligible to schedule with me in the future. You are also at risk for being put on client blacklists.
For people who want me to forgive the fact that they stood me up without calling or texting: I have heard the car accident/family illness/work disaster stories a zillion times, way more often than is statistically predicted for the relevant population, but things do happen and I'm not totally heartless. If something legitimate comes up, you can at least send me a two word text message saying "not coming." If you can't send a text message because you got in a car accident or had to go to the emergency room, I'm willing to accept a scanned copy of the police report or ER visit receipt as proof that you couldn't even have texted me. In that case, you would be allowed to reschedule with a new deposit.
