When it comes to Ashley Madison Agency’s features, it has a few nifty things that you might like for an online dating website. 

For one, it has a priority mail feature. If you’re interested in a person, you can send them a priority message so that when they check their mailbox, your message will be moved all the way up to the front. They’ll see your message first before reading anybody else’s regular messages.

In addition, there’s another feature called the “private showcase key.” This makes your photos confidential by hiding them from other people. If you want to allow someone to look at your picture, you can send them a key to view your private showcase.

One last unique feature is the panic button. Due to the fact that this is a website made specifically for discreet relationships, if there’s else who’s about to come into your room, you can quickly hit the panic button. When you press it, you’ll quickly exit out of the Ashley Madison website and be put on another page so that nothing seems suspicious.

Ashley Madison comes with the standard communication methods that you’ll find in many other online personals. It has e-mail messages (with priority sending as stated before) and instant messaging chat. In addition, it allows anyone to send winks to anyone their interested in. Members that signed up for a free trial are allowed to send and receive winks, view photos, and they can even reply to full members’ e-mail messages. Ashley Madison doesn’t come with other extra communication features such as voice, video, and chat rooms, but it isn’t totally necessary to use them to meet people! 

These communication methods come at a slight price: It will cost you “credits,” which is Ashley Madison‘s currency for communication. If you want to initiate a conversation by sending a person the first message, it will cost you a certain number of credits (all subsequent messages to that person are free). Also, if you want to talk on instant messenger for a certain amount of time, that will also require a number of credits. For each membership level that you sign up at, you’ll receive a certain number of credits. For example, the first level will give you 100 credits, while the highest level will give you 500 credits plus unlimited 1st mail messages.

These credits can be expensive, but there is an advantage to it: Your credits never expire. Why is this good? Let’s look at these common situations:

A: Let’s say you meet someone and you had some fun with them. You don’t want to see other people during this period and prefer to only see this one hottie.
B: You meet someone and had some fun. But then you stop and decide not to see anyone else for a year or so.

If this was a regular married personals website, the time you spent during your fling or the period between seeing people is wasted. If you wanted to use the service again, you would have to renew your subscription for another month or another year. But because the credits never expire on Ashley Madison, you can continue to enjoy its features using your remaining credits. You can take breaks for as long as you want without having to worry about costs. No need to pay extra money to re-subscribe! By having credits rather than having a time-based subscription, it can make things cheaper in the long run.

When it comes to the search engine, Ashley Madison Agency does a good job. Like the search engines on other online dating sites, you can filter using selecting criteria for who’s available and online, location, age, descriptions, etc. What I like about Ashley Madison is the ability to search using keywords. That way I can find people with certain interests quickly and easily.
