The Dude Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Just a warning, RentMen has quietly raised its membership price to $19.99; I almost didn't notice before pulling the trigger. I barely thought it was worth it at $9.99, but $20? Forget it. + Vegas_Millennial, + azdr0710 and Danny-Darko 1 2

pubic_assistance Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 What does one GET for $240 a year ? The ability to peek at a few extra dick pix and post your opinions ? Seems your money would be better spent actually hiring someone. arnie, thomas, Pd1_jap and 2 others 2 2 1
Constantine Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 I paid for premium last December because I wanted to post a review and realized that you now have to pay to post reviews. Reviews are a way for me to keep score and track my conquests so I have to periodically resub every couple of months. I'm definitely not paying for a recurring membership as a client. + Pensant 1

MikeBiDude Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 My February 5th payment was $9.95. I’ll keep an eye on it. Edit: but yes I noticed on their membership page it say $19.95/month!! Hard to believe they would increase existing subscribers 100% without any notice? dbar123, Luv2play and + azdr0710 1 2
BuffaloKyle Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Well I'm never going to be a premium member again. I'd be ok if it went up to 10.99 or 11.99 but double what it used to be all of a sudden is not right. Dolman, TorontoDrew, + Pensant and 2 others 3 2

The sudden huge increase in membership may be a sign of financial stress and a lack of sustainability of the current business model. + robear 1

I don't know what the monthly fee was for the basic, gold, and platinum ads for providers. I'd like to know if anything changed with those as well.

+ azdr0710 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) I think there are three ways to use Rentmen......just be a lurker and not register or join (free)........be a "basic" member (free)........or be a "premium" member ($19.95/mo)..... Edited February 20, 2023 by azdr0710

For the longest time I was a lurker on there. I think I signed up when the option was taken away to view provider's pvt pics with a password. And like I've stated before on here by having a client page it saves a ton of time by not having to relay all my stats and likes and interests. I can direct the provider to my page for all that.

Luv2play Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 I've been a premium member for a number of years and a basic member before then since they started. I currently pay $9.99CDN a month which is around $7US. My last invoice from them this month credited that amount in payment and ssid my next payment was due in Mar. No mention of a fee increase and I couldn't find it elsewhere on the site. Can the op indicate when and where this was announced? MikeBiDude 1

I usually pay for membership once or twice a year; when I went to sign up it was $19.99 instead of the usual $9.99. Sneaky. Edited February 20, 2023 by The Dude
+ Axiom2001 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 I was unaware of the fee increase until I arrived at this forum and post at 12:50 P.M. on Monday, the 20th of February. It looks like Rentmen will lose another previously subscribed member. I didn't relish paying the $9.00+ rate, so this exorbitant increase has done it for me. If I am interested in a particular escort at that site, I'll go to the "Deli" to inquire, or just take my chances on the men of interest who are at that site.
+ Pensant Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 I’ve found that ~75% will send you a face pic or x one if I ask and they perceive that I’m serious (which I almost always am).
mike carey Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Same here, my monthly membership is going to $AU19.95/mo. I had been paying $AU49.95 for six months, that's now $89.95 and an annual membership is $159.95. I have two months left before I have to decide. MikeBiDude 1
BuffaloKyle Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 I wonder how much extra money they'll be making on this with the number of guys that won't be renewing their subscriptions. I guess they're banking on not losing 50% of their paying memberships. This stinks now too because there will be less reviews on the site. But this is where the forum will come into play to vet providers. + azdr0710, Danny-Darko and + Axiom2001 3
Luv2play Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 I guess my increase will come when my annual membership lapses. I forget when that is lol.

+ bashful Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 I think their transition to 7.0 (or whatever) still has kinks. I've been a free lurker, never have paid for membership. When I looked today (7.0) it said I was a Premium member, but could not see premium photos. When I looked at it in 6.0, it said I was a Free client.
+ azdr0710 Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 I'm going to miss the semi-private pictures, the videos, the few additional stats, and whatever else Premium offers, but $240/year is a lot.....I'll back off to the "Basic" level and see if I can stand it! Rentmasseur's (owned by same group) premium level doesn't seem to be going up, right??
