Pros and Cons of P411

[bigryan222]

I like shorter notice a lot of the time and it helps work wonders if the girl is actually available. All the info they need is already there.

I use both P411 and here to determine if it's safe to see someone.

I am a big fan of P-411; as far as the P-411 staff, always prompt, attentive and thorough if you ever have questions or need assistance.

In terms of any significant down-side, some might consider the cost to be excessive but for me, it's $ well invested.

[BigMikeinKC]

Like it. I will stay with it despite the price increase.

I've been a member for almost 5 years. It's the way I usually introduce myself to a lady I'll like to visit. and have had great luck using it, there have only been two occasions where a lady didn't respond.

[nineninanine]

Been a member for almost 6 years and have always had good luck. I have noticed that there are a lot more ladies on there now than there used to be. A few months back I noticed someone had somehow re-lit some 'retired' providers ads which caused some grief, but other than that I've never had any problems.

I have not been in the hobby very long, but was encouraged by Jackie Devlin to get P411. I did, saw Charlotte Mcguire and Jackie in the first week of having my profile. They were both newbie friendly, which gave me the basic +2 that most other providers need. I have now built up enough to meet the requirement of any provider that I have seen using the site. I like the ability to request a session and getting a reply, and the ease of screening. I have only seen one provider outside of p411. I will re-new before March.

I love it !! I plan to renew for two years before the increase.

How much is it increasing this time? For me, it's not worth $129 and certainly not worth more. I also am not a fan of giving over personal information to someone or some business just waiting for a court order to turn over the info to public record or get hacked and distributed to the web. I don't travel and rarely have the ability to plan out my visits. I can see where it would help others though.

I like the idea and would join, however they wanted way to much personal information.

If you have at least two excellent provider references, you need not give us any of your real life info. We only want to ensure you are a legitimate hobbyist, we truly are not concerned with exactly who you are. Not to mention, anyone signing up with two provider references is eligible for a free 6 month trial, no credit card needed, no strings attached.

I don't want my personal information (name and employer) being stored by a third party.

IF you submit employment info during the verification process, it is deleted AND destroyed once your application is approved. Only your client id and email address is kept on file, everything else on your profile you control. We only want to ensure you are a legitimate client, we don't care who you are (and I sleep better at night knowing that your private information is not on our servers, since hacking IS a legitimate concern).

I also am not a fan of giving over personal information to someone or some business just waiting for a court order to turn over the info to public record

We're 100% Canadian owned and operated, there will be no such court order (guaranteed).

How much is it increasing this time? For me, it's not worth $129 and certainly not worth more.

The increase referred to is the increase from $89/yr to $129/yr. It is a substantial increase percentage wise, and the goal is to avoid another membership increase for many years. The reality is that when we started out, we set the rates too low (from a business perspective) and I was creeping the rate up slowing, which wasn't working on our end very well and caused everyone some pain with each increase ($50-$60-$69-$89). So this will be the last jump to where we need to be, to be stable and comfortable, and able to continue as we have for the past 9 years.

Thanks to everyone for your questions and for your support. Please know that I am always available to address any concerns or questions you might have privately as well (email is best!), as sometimes I miss threads.

Always,
Gina

I have been in the hobby for over 15 years and have never needed it. On one occaision I decided to sign up and got frustrated with all the hoops and said "F" it.

[Bomb Pop]

Said it before, I've gotten enough discounts from providers on p411 to more than cover the annual fee. So yes, I like it.

I don't understand how you don't have referrences?

P411 is best for screening, checking out ads(client)/advertising(provider), and arranging dates. They regularly make improvements to the site. Get the Lifetime membership; it is worth it.

The only negative development that I have seen is that not only are fewer of the ladies there offering discounts than previously but also some even charge higher rates there than they do on ECCIE or BP.
