Rant So now AMEX will not let people make purchases toward adult advertising - GoFuckYourself.com

MakeMeGrrrrowl · 04-07-2015, 10:19 AM

Backpage informed me that amex will no longer allow people to use their card in the adult entertainment section.

Oy vey. Chase bank has done the same thing. I just find it so stupid that they are deciding what we can and can't spend our own money on. Granted borrowed money, but you have to pay it back and then some which makes it mine. To say I can't use this money for whatever I want, come on? This shit has to stop.

I wonder if they will block it on google adwords and any other place selling adult advertising, or if they will limit it to backpage.

Pimps must have been using amex to buy ads for their hoes. That's why we can't use prepaid anymore.

xXXtesy10 · 04-07-2015, 11:25 AM

because backpage majority used for illegal prostitution dipshit. banks are not stupid.

Some of my sales people still use pre-paid cards.

Well I don't run illegal prostitution. Why are you calling me names?

They have a phone and website section, I post appropriately.

If they disallow "adult" advertising, then that should go for all adult advertising, and that's a shame that they can get away with it.

Really? They won't take my greendot.

Amex sucks anyway. At least discover gives me like 5-10% cash back on some purchases.

I don't have Amex but some of my sales people do, and one who uses chase and I have to pay for all her advertising and deduct from check since she can't use it.

It's just annoying that they are restricting.

Yes my girls say they can use their prepaid visa's.

I believe adwords has already stopped advertising for porn

Google AdWords Begins Enforcing Porn Ads Rules

Barry-xlovecam · 04-07-2015, 11:52 AM

It may be the comparative costs (fees/discounts) in the AMEX transactions processing costs?

I just made a test buy on one of our websites with a prepaid VISA card I have -- not a problem. (USA issued Kroger kpf prepaid.) Shows what a crock of shit it is that a payment card proves any age verification -- I could have given that card to my kid ... Here's a card with $100.00 on it go play on the internet while your mommy and I are busy.

Yeah. I did that once. Unsupervised. Still getting updates and sales-nudges from My Dollz to this day... don't.

Since we do live sales, we don't usually have that problem. I wont say an underage kid has never gotten through, but I can only recall a few times over 15 years.

They haven't stopped. They are just very specific on what words they will allow. That's been my experience.

I sent the thread to Kenneth Chenault via ICQ, he should reach out to you shortly to have your cards whitelisted.
I believe his username here is Kenny C. Not to be confused with Kenny B.

As if I didn't already try that!!!!!

Barry-xlovecam · 04-07-2015, 12:28 PM

I wouldn't actually do that but these adult verification laws are a joke -- total self-deception and just feel good legislation.

I just went to pay a model by depositing cash into her Chase account, and Chase wouldn't accept it. I had to go to my bank, get a cashier's check, and then use that to pay into the model's account. Fucking waste of time, IMHO. The guy at Chase couldn't explain to my why they've started doing that.

They can't explain it because it's discrimination and they don't want to be libel.

I get so annoyed to be lumped in with illegitimate businesses.

That's a small part of the battle.

edit: and...umm who cares who is on top of who? I make money in all of it.

No one has what I have on the backend. Promise!

I was joking. How long until you're ready to launch?

I figured that was what you actually meant with your lil humor. Sometimes I don't get it til I'm half way across the field playing with chickens and then it hits me.

Not quite sure. Marco from sliiing has been amazing setting me up a bunch of custom stuff. It's much harder to set up a live sales affiliate platform than it is to just set up a website with affiliate links. However I will TRY both. Several things to work out and I've called on some of my old buddys to help me out.

I'm not going to launch like that though. I will probably just try to find 3 people to work it so I can ease my way in. Once I have them self sufficient I will work out kinks and bugs then go a lil bigger.

I really don't need more than 3 though if I could get them to the goal I would want them to be at.

It's not the actual law, it's just a sales pitch to get you to enter your CC info
