They want a fee for $250

Did you send any pennies?

Chapshnell · « **Reply #802 on:** September 10, 2013, 04:20:04 PM »

yes, like in April or May

Achas Veachas · « **Reply #803 on:** September 10, 2013, 04:20:45 PM »

So those pennies go off of your $250

It says during the promotion period (through 9/20/13) it is free for $250. Is that per payment or even sum of payments?

Thanks for reminding me, when the free unlimited finished I still had a few hundred$ to send (between a few accounts) and decided to save them for a spend requirement and promptly forgot.

No. Google charges 2.9% to send money from a CC or "debit card."

From one of the comments I saw on a different site:

"I have a prediction, I think they will soon have a service like mint.com to encourage people to move all their finances over to google wallet. Why would they do that? If they know what we spend our money on they can advertise to us better, and make more money from us, we get a money managing service they get to sell our info easier"

Makes lots of sense, but for some reason, scares the heck out of me.

This website does that for rating places, pretty cool concept, they use credit card statement information to determine how good a store is. http://bundle.com/

How does the charge get processed? Do you still get Amex return protection etc?

AnonymousUser · « **Reply #814 on:** November 20, 2013, 04:30:21 PM »

Is there a charge if I load the account from a GC and then withdraw from an ATM?

Same question.

The point of it is to give Google more information about yourself so that eventually they will own you.

AJK · « **Reply #818 on:** November 21, 2013, 06:52:43 PM »

How does that answer why I, as a consumer, would use the card?
