Would you prefer to have a regular 3 times a month at 200 an hour or once a month at 400 seems like you're losing a little bit of income some of us do have fixed incomes. Just curious on how you see this

I think the question of the OP was lost at the get-go in discussing the actual rates themselves. Some want 200, 300, or 400 and there are price-points in between. What he is asking is, is it ever a consideration to offer a lower rate for some agreement to maintain a regular commitment?
I know we aren't comparing apples to apples but the jist is about the same. I used to go to this place that offered massages. You get a 20% discount if you sign up for a bank draft and get one massage a month. Also you get 10 less minutes for dressing (which is a totally other gripe for another day).
Now the massage therapist comes to my house every other week and I pay $90 for a real 90 minute massage. So for a regular commitment I get a better deal.
I think that was the sprit of the OP's question.
