I put my order through just after 7 PM. I always grab them on physical disc because, honestly, it’s better to actually own what you buy. It was probably just some temporary glitch ☕

Did anyone actually get their bills paid today?
I handled mine this afternoon, but I still can't seem to generate that damn payment confirmation 🤔

I don't know what to tell you. Some people just love to hear themselves talk, even when they aren't saying anything of substance. Is that really how we're doing things now? Just shouting into the void and expecting everyone to nod along? It’s exhausting. Lisa Perez50 says:
Thanks. My hairstylist mentioned AirCash, so I was thinking about downloading it just to keep her happy. Not like I'll actually have any extra cash burning a hole in my pocket to spend anyway. 😁

Does this hairstylist actually take Apple Pay? She’s way ahead of the curve. I haven't heard of anyone doing that around here yet. 😁
Keep one thing in mind: they’re going to hit you with a 1% fee on every transfer. Don't bother trying to send the exact amount down to the cent because that won't work. Also, be prepared to jump through hoops with identity verification. You'll have to upload a photo of your driver's license and a selfie just to get through the door. Is it worth the hassle? You decide.

Dana White said:I picked up a PayPal card at a local convenience store today.
After setting up the app and logging in, I hit a bit of a snag.
I didn't upload a photo of my ID...
And honestly, I’m a little confused—why is that even necessary?

Anyway.
I have some cash on hand that I'd like to load onto the card.
But where do I actually go to do that?
On top of that, the app is asking me to "activate" the card.
What does that actually entail?

You don't have a physical card yet, but without an ID photo, the app is useless. You can't even pay bills.

James Kern2 said:I went back through a few pages here, even checked out the PayPal site... nothing found.

Can you actually fund a PayPal account from a checking account instantly, like people do with Revolut? Or is that not a thing?

The website mentions some two-day processing nonsense or whatever...

Yeah, you can do transfers just like Revolut or Venmo.
They offer: card deposits (instant), cash deposits at The News Corporation or IBM locations, and bank transfers via SWIFT, which is the slowest way to go.

Yeah, you can only withdraw money from Visa when you're out in Maui.

Does anyone know if Venmo support actually works on the weekends? It feels like they scrubbed their business hours from the website.

Looks like this forum is having another massive meltdown 😁

ironcyclist58 said:Has it actually shown up on the recipient's end? I sent some money through PayPal the day before yesterday and it still hasn't cleared. Not sure if it's a glitch with PayPal or if the person just hasn't checked...

Did the payment actually hit their account yet?
I paid off a few bills yesterday, and so far, nothing shows as paid anywhere. No rush, obviously, I just want to get a feel for how things are moving right now. ☕

Mine just kicked in. They definitely overestimated themselves a bit, but hey, they finally showed up after an hour and a half. Not like I actually need them, but I’m keeping an eye on whether they're accurate 😬

Jamie Mitchell2 said:So, I finally got a reply from Cash App support: "You can't actually use an A-bon to load money directly into your Cash App wallet. A-bon is strictly for depositing funds into accounts held by our partners like DraftKings, PSK, Germanin, Admiral, Caesars Palace, BetMGM, Rizk, and Senator." >

So yeah, basically useless for anything other than dumping cash into betting sites and casinos.
Looks like I'm gonna have to try my luck with Revolut instead.

Using Revolut should be the easiest way if it actually works. Why haven't you tried that yet? 😁

Jamie Mitchell2 said:Unbelievable. Seriously. It sounded way too easy, right? But now it actually feels kind of insane... like, how does a paper voucher you get from Venmo—which, by the way, you buy at the exact same 7-Eleven where you can just use cash to top up your Venmo—somehow isn't valid for a Venmo deposit? Makes zero sense, doesn't it?

Just put it on DraftKings. Roll the money over a few times and then request a withdrawal 😬

I don't think there’s even an option to load a Lottery voucher into Venmo. And honestly, I doubt you can even use a card to pay for a Lottery ticket. When you go to 7-Eleven for Powerball or Paysafecard, they won't let you pay by card—which, if you think about it, actually makes sense.

Jamie Mitchell2 said:So, I’ve got a bit of a gray area question for you guys: I actually won some cash through this sweepstakes thing on my Wells Fargo credit card. Obviously, I can't just hit up an ATM and pull the cash out, right? But, is there any way I could just transfer those funds over to Venmo instead?

Use it to pay bills at Walmart. Or just head to an IKEA, buy something for that exact amount, and then return it because you changed your mind. 😬
I don't have a straight answer for your specific question. Give it a shot.

Keith Barrett2 said:Just downloaded the app.
I’m planning on heading over to Chase tomorrow to drop off some cash.

It’s asking me to verify my identity by snapping a photo of my driver's license, and I was wondering—is that actually mandatory?

Basically, I just need to get a few bills paid, so can I just settle those without going through the whole verification thing?

You can't make payments. You can only deposit money into Venmo.🤣

Drew Foster112 said:I was actually standing right there at the Department of Homeland Security service window. They managed to find my payment through AirCash; they even pulled it up on their screen. The issue was that it didn't specify who sent the money. My name wasn't listed anywhere—it just showed "AirCash."

Sent from my iPhone via Reddit

Yeah, whatever. My confirmation clearly lists the "actual payer" and includes my Social Security number. I assume they can see that too. Honestly, who knows what they choose to ignore. That's just how government agencies work. 😁

Honestly, I can't quite put my finger on why Gargamel and I got through without a hitch while everyone else is hitting walls. It probably comes down to the specific clerk behind the desk. Back in April, when I paid for my ID, the receipt in the top right corner clearly said "Payment Confirmation." Now, every single receipt the app spits out says "Order Received." That’s the only real difference I see, though I doubt the people working the counters at the DMV even notice or care. Like Mephistopheles mentioned, they probably just got some new directive from the Treasury Department.

@splico73 you aren't the only one. It feels like I'm the only person who actually got my Cash App verification cleared by the FBI on the first try. Everyone else on this forum has been complaining about the exact same headache. Wouldn't it be nice if they just automatically offered that PBZ confirmation instead?

Noah Perez5 said:Another thing I’ve noticed—it feels like the whole forum got stuck in the past. It happened yesterday, right around 5:30 PM. Since then, the page might refresh occasionally, but most of the time, it just shows that the last posts were made around 5:30 PM yesterday. Which obviously isn't true.

There it is. That’s the issue right there. No wonder everything looks completely broken on Tapatalk. This is a mess. I really hope they get this sorted out soon.

Is anyone else having issues with Taylor Swift? Specifically that "Participation" tab? This one thread keeps getting stuck at the top like it won't refresh properly unless I manually reload everything from scratch. It’s driving me nuts. I’ll scroll halfway down and suddenly it resets back to the old posts. I can't even find the threads where I know there's actually new activity.

Big thanks to Air Canada! They’ve extended that zero-fee bill pay promo all the way through April 1st, 2023!
