In the ongoing discussion about the preference between receiving payments through Payoneer versus gift cards, members have shared a variety of experiences and tips:
- For those preferring cash over gift cards, it is suggested to give clients your email linked to your Payoneer account for them to load money onto your card, although it's noted that Payoneer may not accept all types of cards for loading money.
- Alternatively, some members have found success with clients using Amazon Gift Cards or GiftRocket, which allows direct transfers to a bank account using just an email address.
- Concerns were raised about the potential for clients to see personal information when paying via Payoneer, though it was unclear whether this was the case. It was suggested to contact Payoneer directly for clarification.
- A suggestion was made to use platforms like lovetrap.com, where clients can become members through a referral link, ensuring all spending goes directly to the referred member.
- The topic also touched on the importance of knowing how to verify receipt of payments through Payoneer and understanding which cards are accepted for loading money to minimize risks of scams.
Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of preferences for receiving payments, with an emphasis on security, ease of use, and the desire to avoid gift cards by some members.
