PayTru Trip Report

Phresh · #1 03-20-2007, 05:30 AM

I'm sorry if these have already been posted. I didn't see one. I was one of the players pre-selected for a Visa PayTru card through Poker Stars. I just received it and made a cashout of $30 through Stars. As a method of double checking, I made a $10 deposit back into Stars with the same card. It also worked. I'm going to withdraw the rest from an ATM soon as well. I'll keep you posted.

Yahtzee.. although I did have to pay $2 on a $20 withdrawl, heh. Now I just need to get my limits for withdrawing raised.

What could you possibly need more than $18 at a time for?

So the ATM fees are per bank/ATM? Because I'm getting charged 4 dollars per withdrawal at my ATM.

This is standard. You pay the PayTru fees to them. The bank that owns the ATM also charges an additional Fee. Apparently the ATM you are using charges $2 on top of what PayTru charges. In my experience you can only withdraw from ATMs for free using a card issued by the bank that owns the ATM. PayTru isn't a bank and has no ATMs of their own, therefore I would expect to always pay the fees to both PayTru and the ATM owner when making withdrawals like this.

Do you have to be preselected to get an account? I was looking around and can't find concrete information on signing up for one.

Phresh or anyone else,

If you come back to this thread can you give a time frame on all this? How long did it take for the money from stars to be loaded onto the card?

69 hours for me.
