Considering how bad the scammers are.. not if I can help it!
When DO I require a deposit?
✨If it is outside my posted hours (pre-booking) and I don't already trust you to show up, then yes, I require a deposit. (Unless you are willing to pay an additional $100 at the door just to avoid the deposit -keep in mind that only a deposit comes off the tribute)
✨If I suspect you are wasting my time, I definitely won't book you without a deposit.
When DON'T I require a deposit?
✨When I trust you to show up
✨When I have posted short notice availability
ABOUT THE *REFUNDABLE* DEPOSIT - **IF** I require a deposit from you, it would be in the form of a $50 amazon gift card claim code. That way I can and will return a new code of equal value to you, if *I* have to cancel. If you cancel I keep the deposit of course.
✨✨✨
Side note: Not a deposit requirement, but, if I know you and you have a history of frequently cancelling on me, before rebooking, I will ask you upfront to agree to provide a reasonable amount of compensation via amazon gift card/code if you cancel again.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND A DEPOSIT UNLESS you have all the information you need and you are 100% ready to book :) Thank you in advance
