I wouldn't risk paying with cards in Brazil just at random places. The biggest scam place turned out to be Shopping Leblon! Loool Exclusive shopping center in the richest part of town.
You have been warned.

Posts: 159Using Credit Cards at Termas
I am planning a trip to RJ and have been doing my RTFF research on this thread. I plan to focus in large part on the termas, and I noticed that some termas allow customers to pay with credit cards. I would like to hear different opinions as to whether or not you recommend paying with cards.
The advantage for me is that it could enable me to reduce the amount of cash that I would carry and still be able to pay potentially large bills, given the prices of sessions at some of the termas. Given the risk of muggings in RJ, I would be more comfortable carrying less cash. With that said, I might want to carry enough cash with me anyway, in the event that the transactions fail. Give the high levels of cyber crime in Brazil, I would not be surprised if my banks decline the transactions, despite my travel notification to them, and I wonder if they would consider the termas suspicious vendors. Has anyone had issues with declined transactions at termas in particular, but not at other vendors in Brazil?
I know from my day job that the theft and fraudulent use of credit card information is rampant in Brazil, via both corrupt employees and outside hackers. I found many references to this problem in Trip Advisor reviews of the lodging options that I considered. Has anyone that used their cards at termas later observed suspicious transactions from sources other than the termas on their cards?
Some of the posts that I read suggested that there might have been some slight padding of the bills at some termas, but that this slight padding was obvious from a review of the bill before paying it with one's card. Have you seen any outrageously large and unexpected fraudulent charges on your cards from the termas, as might happen at some strip clubs in New York or Las Vegas?
I understand that there may be a surcharge for paying with a card, which I might be willing to pay if it gives me greater peace of mind by enabling me to carry less cash. However, I would certainly not be willing to pay this surcharge for the privilege of fraudulent charges and getting my card frozen.
I am single and do not have to worry about explaining the charges on my card to a wife or anyone else.

IBIS yes and Best Western. I road tested both. Check in as 2 people and check your GDP in and out and then the next one can come up. Only 2 adults at a time. Ignore the looks in reception. Fuck them.

Forget Dolce Vita, it is often empty, all clubs in Copacabana are the same shit.
Saturday, go to solarium or Monte carlo terma, it is also open Saturday. After sessioning with the girl, pick her number to arrange to meet her Sunday.
Mosaic is good but if you don't speak Portuguese, it will be difficult. Many girls are mechanical there. It is very stressful.
Go to Mabs if you just want to chill.
You only have three days, don't waste your time. P.S. Never say to the girl you'll session with you only stay two days in Rio de Janeiro, say you are on vacation for one month if you want to get a better service, because they will think they will session with you more times in following days.

Both options are good but it depends on the person, he also did the right thing not to waste his time with the girl and try to find another one.

Posts: 139Pipelayer has it right:
"But if you haven't fucked them yet and they start shit, get them out any way you feel comfortable with. One time I had a girl talking shit about pay up front, I put the girl's purse out in the hall. When she came to get it, I closed the door, locked it and left. She was yelling and I didn't care. I took the elevator down and told the door man to get rid of her. He agreed."
My point was the first sign of a shit session will always come early. Instead of complaining or renegotiating or accepting sub-par service, get dressed and leave, or kick them out. The crap always starts before you have fucked them, so don't pay. I've done this on several occasions and have never needed to be physical with a girl. A stern eye and voice have done the job.
Of course, I'm not taking a Mabs girl, or any street girl back to my place. That's what love motels are for.
Bravo, I was responding to a post by another user. I've had my share of putting up with lousy sessions from lazy girls, and depending on the situation still might give a few reals to diffuse a situation. But I'm stopping the session before it begins when a girl starts with the shit.

Posts: 1538Explain please
Maybe you guys can explain how Larry would have gotten this increasingly agitated female out of his room without it turning into a huge debacle. Maybe if he had sad "Pretty please with sugar on top" she would have stopped, grabbed her purse and quietly left. In my opinion he did nothing wrong, you don't want a big scene at the hotel or apartment building you are staying at, they can kick you out and not return your money. Its best to pay to just get rid of her. Unless you are ready to put this girl in a sleeper hold and carry her out to the sidewalk (Which would cost you a whole lot more than what she was asking for), then the best thing to do is hand over a few reais and go back out for another girl.

Since you have more time, I would recommend that you go to the casas / massagems in centro. 100 - 170 reals for some nice girls. There are also a few in Copa that you could try. PM if you don't know where to go. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Putas loucas were normal standard back in the Help-era.
Propably something with Hotrod10 got the girl to be cautious, or he just picked up a junkie.
