[quote=Anonymous]To clarify, I'm the poster who had a candidate tell me that a host family offered $250. We found her application and thought she seemed perfect. We exchanged some emails and skyped. She seemed very keen and we offered her a match. She didn't write back for a day and then wrote back telling me that she really liked our family and it was a hard choice but that another family had offered her $250. She wasn't holding it over my head or trying to get me to match it, I think she just wanted me to know. I don't know anything else about the family she matched with to know whether she made a bad choice...an extra $50 wouldn't be worth it to me if the family are unreasonable, didn't allow me to use a vehicle, etc. But I just don't know. I just realized that we sometimes have lost candidates that we really liked who I thought really liked us...and I'm wondering how common it is that people actually OFFER more than $200/week in matching to sweeten the pot.[/quote]
