Shops that accept credit cards - discretely

[opimrs]

Looking for intel on shops that accept credit cards but where the credit card statement doesn’t shout “massage shop!” I only know of 197 Clarence Street.

most times it will be a company name that comes up 0n the credit card I always tell the Mrs that i was getting the car serviced.......HeHe....

Stilettos. But i think most have surcharge so cash is still best for me.

Even as a single man, cash only ... credit cards link back to transaction records, banking employees have full access details on company transactions, they can link it to your credit record for future reference and loan applications, hide it from your wife ? it's a bigger task to hide it from your trading n transaction history ... don't do it ... save cash separately for a special treat !

Most shops don't want to take credit cards anyway, because they create a cash flow trail that an inquisitive ATO investigator can interpret.

Anything you don't want big brother to know use cash only. I use cash for all punting.

[syd_pete79]

Any paper trail is a rookie error. Cash only.

Yup couldn't agree more, not worth the several ways you could get burnt otherwise.

Agree to all of the above, cash is king !

Besides, I think most shops if accept CC, charge you 10% more surcharge , not worth it , right ?

Only time I ever used a credit card for punting was decades ago when I was still a problem gamler, spending a weekend in Canberra (yes, that’s how long ago before the Star city even opened!) had a bad night in the casino, lost all my cash and max out on the cards ! But still before midnight so can’t get any more cash advance until the next morning, needed a fuck, so drove to Fyshwick and entered one of the cauc brothel and asked if they took Amex and they did so I fucked a big tits blonde milf (fake boobs!) , funny thing was , after the punt, the clock ticked over to the new day, withdraw another grand and head back to casino Camberra and this time, the tide changed and I recovered most loses earlier ! True story !

Why punt if you only got credit card and no cash? Use your hand!

All good advice guys. The credit card statement from 137 Clarence just says LN & SY P/L. Much easier to explain that away to the other half as hardware, car bill etc, than regular withdrawals of large amounts of cash. Just my 2 cents worth

Hahaha ! If the wives are reading syd99, you have put a lot of punters in big trouble now they know what the charge item means on the statement ! ;) ;) ;)

Ha ha wilisno, wives reading this forum, an interesting concept and maybe the subject of another thread!

Just have a personal account at a different bank from your wife
Easy to set up.All correspondence etc sent to an email address
Technology makes it easy to punt discretely

Just note that if you google a name these days you're likely to get a result from a company name checking website.

Eg LN & SY PTY. LTD shows up with one result and it says
OTHER ENTITY NAMES: BN Sydney CBD massage & waxing

lol good luck explaining that one.

But you will still have a card, with the risk she might find that, either in transit or on your person.

[cyberastrologer]

Would never lead a paper trail and pay by card.

[Climax598]

Go and get a travel card.

[kaos]

Done it once out of pure laziness for a cheapo punt (less than $90) The card has since been cancelled as I did some financial consolidation a few years ago. Evidence is there but you'd need a lot of time to find it

Cash Only
A lot of places are now installing ATMs
A lot of downside to cards
Can be skimmed....surcharge....traceable paper trail

Even an ATM at the parlour can be risky. The statement comes in and it says "withdrawal - rediteller ATM - 69 Main Street massage".

"Yes honey, I needed cash for lunch and the nearest one was in the foyer of a massage parlour. Much easier than queuing at the Commonwealth."

Always best off grabbing some cold hard cash from the bank ATM, and putting a $50* aside each week for a monthly punt - if you can hold out that long!

*Ha, who am I kidding, more like $10 at my pay scale!

Cash would be best if you need to be discrete..

Unless you want to rack up your frequent flyer points from cc.. [emoji38]

Cash is King, cash and cash only !!

[thanatos]

I know Ginza has it but only used it once. Honestly it's not that hard to find an ATM and get some cash.
