These EIP debit cards are a bunch of shit.

Had to be manusion’s idea so the back can screw you out of fees. Trying to just transfer all 600 to my bank account. Spent an hour creating an account. The one time transaction is supposed to be free but when I clicked to transfer got an error message sayin I had to subtract fee from the 600. Doesn’t even show the amount of the fee and there’s no way to complete it. Do I sound pissed?

This setup with the bank(s) probably should be investigated too.


Total bullshit.

1. I just had fun with it.

Some demented human must have devised this. I finally succeeded in transferring to my checking account by phone. Oh, and by the way, that amount I transferred to my checking account was $19.50. I can tell you that really stimulated me.

4. Did you try on-line?

I called CS but apparently they aren’t 24/7. They don’t show the hours either.

2. This time I received a check. I dreaded getting another card but

I didn’t have to pay a fee with that one. It was a pain to set up the account, tho. Hope you can figure it out. I feel for you.

3. I went into my bank in person

so they basically cash it all out for you, then deposit it into your account. It was easy having them do it.

5. Same here

Called the number on the card, made a PIN number, gave them the last 6 number on SS card, went to the bank and was out in less than ten minutes. Had it deposited into my bank account.

6. My bank is out of state. Think I'll call Monday and see if I can do it over the phone from their

end.

8. Yeah, I read all this and sill couldn't transfer without subtracting some fee.

Thanks though.

9. Just so folks are aware,

a specific entity was created by the Ricketts Family along with another Banker in South Dakota. Two major donors to Rethug and Trump Campaigns. The Banking entity for this go around is located in a town in Georgia with a Customer Call Center in Mississippi.

Like many of you folks,been down that road with trying to extrapolate the max out of those cards without paying a fee and doing a transfer into our CU. If you Bank is in the same ATM network as the Debit Cards you received,no problem,just go to the bank and do a in person transfer. But,like many of you folks,I bank out of state and there for would have to fly some 2k miles to my nearest Branch in or to do a transfer. Spent the best part of six hours trying to do a work around.

Ended up using a Walmart Money Center in order to pull out the cash and it still cost a fee. That is the other hidden part of this whole scam,every ATM,and I tried nine different ones where is was to be zero cost upon first use and 25 cents per transaction after. These ATM's are at Walgreen,CVS,and Costco,but,the limit is only a few hundred per day transaction. What a rip off.

BTW,went to the US Bank office,because their network is our CU depository for non electronic deposits. Knowing the Branch Manager,she tried to do a work around short of opening a Account of some sort. Have been using this Bank Location for more than a decade and the Manager was totally P.Oed
because said this would happen. Once again,somebody is profiting off millions of people even if it is only a buck here and a buck there.
