Do you care if a provider is Platinum/Gold/Basic

[Isrhunter]

Does this have an impact on your selection process?

no way

[FewBricksShy]

Nope. 

[RadioRob]

No. However I generally make it a practice to look up the person here to see if any comments exist. 

It’s not perfect however it can give it insights sometimes that are helpful.

What do those designations signify? The status of membership? The quality of reviews? Their likelihood of photo verification? If it's just a reflection of their ability to purchase a membership level, why should we care?

How much his ad costs.

No

I will say that guys with Basic ads seem less likely to respond, but that doesn't mean they are any less quality when you meet up.

[HoseMaster]

Nope.  Don’t care.

Platinum and gold designations are advertising gimmicks which generate additional revenue for the operators of the website.

Not at all.

[+ nycman]

No.

Nope. Those terms might be helpful in written reviews though. Happy to report that I’ve experienced only a few basic experiences, lots of gold performances and a couple of escorts who rose to the platinum level.

[BaronArtz]

No.  I generally like 'off the beaten path' escorts   I like it when an escort is 'basic' on RM or doesn't have an ad at all

[Bquinn]

No, although the most reviewed are mostly good or plat.

I think I remember a provider telling me that the level of ad (platinum, gold, basic) determines the pop up display order which clients see in order to browse ads.  The hierarchy appears to be 1) Platinum, 2) Gold, 3) Basic.   This would be important to a provider who’s working in a major city where there are loads of (pun intended) pages to scroll through.  A provider based in Des Moines, Iowa and who doesn’t travel could probably save himself some money by purchasing a basic ad.  A provider in NYC would probably want a higher priced ad so his ad doesn’t appear on page 14 out of 15.  
 

From a client perspective the type of ad probably isn’t that important.  From a provider’s perspective I’d imagine it’s more important and a valuable marketing tool.

Yes, each level is also then sub ranked by order of last login.
