Cascadas. Paid for room with card. Cash for deposit
[QUOTE=KoolBeans;2589201] Cascadas seems to make you pay the room and deposit in cash..[/QUOTE]Last week I paid for room with Visa card. I have done it before too.
They do take the extra precaution of copying your driver license and make you sign the receipt.
Not sure why some people are not being allowed to pay with card.
But, deposit for drinks was $30 cash.
Cascadas. Paid for room with card. Cash for deposit
Cascada reception at the North lobby sometimes are too busy with ST rooms, they don't want to go through all the steps for the charge cards and making copies of driver licenses, or their terminal is just broken. The reception guys on the South side near Azul are more likely to accept charge cards. But with copies of the cards and driver licenses there are just more chances for the data to be sold and crooks to steal from the cards months or years later. They can easily produce a fake ID with copy of your driver license and can use the cards anywhere.
I was drawing cash from a Schwab card from the ATMs inside HK and Cascada for a few years, did not have problems. But in June this year, Schwab sent me text, email and calls for a suspicious 3,000- pesos cash withdrawal somewhere in Mexico and blocked it. Looks like crooks in Mexico intercepted internet transmissions and stole my card's data. Schwab is more security alert than other big banks. But now Schwab would not let me draw cash in Tijuana, even with my travel advisory to them specifically about dates I would be in Tijuana. I drew cash from the Schwab card all over Asia in 2018, had no problems, but Mexico and central America are no longer safe. It's just too much work to watch for fraudulent charges.
The ATMs on Tijuana streets and convenient stores were far worse. My and wingmen's cards were all hacked and cash withdrawn, products bought at various locations in the US within 1 to 2 weeks. Big banks were slow to detect frauds and just had to eat the losses. I had a Visa card that was hacked in the US, crooks bought about $18 K worth of appliances in So Cal. The bank told me they would just split the losses with the stores and not bother to prosecute.
For merchants, security checks by cards processors are a big joke. They would quickly approve any transaction, like a transaction worth $80 K for a highly resalable product by a crook using multiple cards, to be shipped to a freight forwarder in Singapore. Lucky I searched the internet, found out this Singapore freight forward fraud and had Fedex hold up the delivery in time, otherwise I would be out of $80 K and would never be able to recover it from the stupid card processor. I alerted the freight forwarder but they did nothing. The FBI Internet Fraud section told me to report it to the local PD. Local PD fat asses would never do anything about international frauds. They prefer chasing cars and arresting prostitutes on over time.
Years ago before credit and debit cards were widely accepted overseas, I used to carry a load of American Express traveler checks and cash them out in banks for local currencies. You can also cash personal checks at friendly banks. Why leave your digital foot prints in mongering places? Lock the checks in safety box and cash them as you need.

Lock ATM card -personal checks?

FYI. You can lock your ATM card. See screenshot.
After reading this post I removed money from my checking acct and locked the ATM card. Which I use only for travel and I only have a very limited amount of money linked to that checking acct. I can easily move money from my brokerage acct to checking acct as needed.
I use my Schwab ATM card at the HSBC ATM at the grocery store on ave revolucion. So far no issues.
Good tip about checks.
Will HSBC bank cash my checks. And if they do the exchange rate is determined by HSBC bank. Right?
Spend $50 in drinks over 1 hour with a girl
[QUOTE=Dogers69;2589223]No you don't need to leave your room. Let her walk alone. You went to HK. Assembly line robotic sex. What did you expect? "Did you cum baby", I what I hear from all girls in Tijuana, I had a HK girl for $50 last week that simply gave up trying to make me cum. I understand all these dudes get off on this robotic HK sex but I don't. I'd rather spend 50 in drinks over 1 hour with a girl going crazy on my lap in the bar than 100 on robotic sex. So that's why I have sex like 20% time I go to the bars.[/QUOTE]I absolutely agree.
With the girls at HK club we get better experience and value spending time with the beauties over drinks & looking at the dancing gals with tipping is also a great way to enjoy HK beauties.
When it's time for sex go to the alley and pick up a gal who is as good as 75% of HK gals 1/3 the cost.
Be careful the Chica does not order $24 drink
[QUOTE=SportMongr;2588441] Since I hate getting played, I recommend all newbs as a monger rule: 'order directly from the waiter for the lady drink'. Do not sit back and let the chica you just met order for herself .[/QUOTE]Great advice to ensure the drink the gal is ordering is a standard drink.
I was almost played like that last week.
Luckily the waiter said she wants to order $24 drink. I said NO and moved on.
BTW. If a crazy priced drink is delivered. As soon as the waiter asked for an amount $9 I would refuse payment and ask for the manager.
I would hope HK management will take care of it since it understood by everyone drink with a gal is $9.

This is very useful information. Thank you!
First Time at Hong Kong WOW!
I've read the stories here and now I know. Words can't describe this place. The women are incredible, the area isn't nearly as dangerous as the media makes is seem.
Last weekend I booked a double suite at Cascadas for Friday and Saturday night. Headed down around 4 on Friday, took the HK Shuttle and got to work!
I purchased the VIP card just to go for it and take in the whole experience, registered and checked in to my room on the 8th floor. Room was nice and was about on the level of a Holiday inn, not.
As bad as a motel 6 but not the Montage either. I put my stuff away and headed down to the street action.
I did some rounds, checking out the merchandise. I was taken back by how hot some of these chicas are. 25 dollars. Are you serious??
I took 2 upstairs as an appetizer before heading to HK. I wasn't happy about the "not taking off shirt" BS, but for a couple extra bucks it was a non issue. Both girls were pretty unenthusiastic but were.
Hot and I was more than excited to start my weekend so I was a happy camper.
Next I had a couple street tacos which were great then headed into HK.
I bough a beer and stood at the bar in shock for probably about 30 minutes. I could not believe the amount of 9's and 10's in the place and a bunch of cool American dudes with a chill vibe. I walked around a bit to get the lay of the land.
Then found a nice booth near the main stage. I bought a bottle of 1942 and another beer and immediately tipped the waiter, manager and security guard. That small investment seemed to go a long way for the rest of the night. The girls kept coming, I was buying drinks, kissing, touching, tipping and having a great time. I took 2 girls to my room and it was more fun than I expected. These girls are animals. Met a super cool guy sitting next to me who coincidentally had the room directly across the hall from me. He was really cool about giving me some pointers and helping me with some insights.
Then I met "the one". I still can't get her out of my head. I wish I had thought about taking photos so I could share but the thought didn't even cross my mind (I was a little distracted). She was 24, stunningly beautiful, slim, dark hair, light skin, I think her name stared with a see, said she was from Sonora and had a thumb print tattoo on her left breast. It was about 2:30 when the waiter brought her to me. She was extremely engaging and seemed nice and down to earth like a girl you would meet outside of a place like this. She yawned a bit so I knew she was tired. She said she was off at 3:30 so I suggested we spend the night in my room. She quoted 500 and I went for it. Had a great time with her all night. In the morning she went to return her robe then go to her hotel room to change then she was back. We had some more fun in bed until around 8 then she said she wanted to go out. We went to HK but they wanted 270 to let her in! WTF is that about? So she said we should try some other bars. She took me to Adelitas, Chicago and another that I can't remember. None of them even remotely compared to the level of HK so after a few beers I said we should go back to HK and I would pay the 270. We went back, paid the 270, sat at the stage and made it rain all night. It was a blast. Sat and had some downstairs fun with several girls then split at about 3.
Next we headed to Azul for some food then back up to my room for more sexual aerobics. Man this girl was great in bed. Felt like I was with a girlfriend. She spend the night again.
In the morning (after some morning sex) she told me more about herself and that she was returning to Sonora on Monday. I decided to extend my stay another night so I could keep the party going.
We went out again on Sunday night but went to some bars and clubs on revolution street then finished off with Adelitas.
She spend the night again then I took a taxi with her to the airport. We grabbed some food and as we were eating she asked if I was going to pay her for the extra time. I asked how much and she said whatever I had.
I had 300 on me and said I would give it to her but I wanted sex for it. She agreed then we went into the airport bathroom together and had sex in the stall! It was so hot and amazing!
I totally screwed up and didn't get her contact information or ask when she works so I can see her again. I know the odds of me running into her again are slim to none but damn, what a weekend!
I'm totally in to join anyone for a trip. I'm actually considering driving down this afternoon for an over nighter.
Hit me up if you have plans to head down.
And if you know the girl I'm talking about please PM me her info or give me the scoop. I'd love to spend more time with that chica.
Thanks for all the intel guys and I look forward to continuing this adventure and sharing my experiences!
