Tied to SS#

true that you can only make one personal account under your SSN, but if you have a few EIN's, you can make a new account for each EIN

I apparently already had one since March. Found out when I used someone's referral code from here. Contacted CS and they won't give me a credit. Haha will try again. Worst case, I just use this to refer with.

I only have one but my parents have a few. Let me try to maximize. How many do you have? Lol

[avromie7]

IMHO 2-3 a day (and mix a real cc into the transactions every now and then). But maybe I'm just being paranoid!

You are not paranoid I got shut down after 3 days of just 1-3 gc without any cc's
(I'm not sure if I even did 3 in one day it may have only been 2)

Any info on whether it's a risk to have two square accounts linked to same checking account t?

Why's this a problem? They just want to verify your bank account because they automatically deposit your funds. It takes a day or two. I don't think this is a problem. They're just going to deposit like $0.49 and take it out to confirm it's legit.

[Boruch999]

Seems like more than bank account verification.

They sent me to a form asking for documents verifying nature of business. I used my fathers business name, the business hasn't operated in about 10 years. I don't think I'm even gonna try.

I did a single key-in transaction via invoice for $492.96 from TD GO about 5 minutes after opening the account.

Can I just refund the card at this point?

[D93]

Can I just refund the card at this point?

yes. And the refund will post on your card in 2-3 days

[Boruch999]

So I filled out the form,  put in blank images saying "NONE AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT" where they requested documents, and provided a Yelp url showing the business existed but is closed.  I initiated a refund.

2/3 accounts still ok, bH.

Why? Just ignore the email and no need to fill out any forms

[Boruch999]

Nothing to lose, maybe they'll approve the account.

[clear thinker]

Will amex or MC gift cards work as well?

[princea143]

for Android? This should work - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareup
If it doesn't, first download "fake GPS" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps - set your location to USA and then download the square app

Any apps for iPhones similar to this?

[D93]

Will amex or MC gift cards work as well?

yes. i've done them also

Turns out, I shouldn't have rushed to refund.

Hello B,
 
We’re sorry to inform you that we are deactivating your account. Our Account Services team reviewed your account and found a pattern of transactions associated with high-risk activity.
 
For further information about our policies, you can review section 42 of the Square Seller Agreement.
 
We regret that, starting today, you will no longer be able to process transactions using Square.
 
Any funds currently in your account will be deposited to your linked bank account within one to two business days. Typically funds will be shown in your account the following business day after they have been deposited, but keep in mind that each bank's policies are different so it may take a little longer. You'll receive an email as soon these funds have been sent to your bank.
 
Unfortunately, our decision to deactivate your account is final. Due to security reasons and the obligations of our agreements with card networks and other financial institutions, we cannot reverse this decision and are unable to provide additional details.
 
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
 

Sincerely,
 
 
Square Account Services
