How does paying cash at The New York Times actually work? Does the clerk just scan a code right off my phone? And do I need to have the exact change ready, or will they give me some money back...
Exactly, that’s the whole point. There isn't a hard cap on silent overdrafts because they're meant for those tiny, incidental amounts. But when banks start letting you slide through with $20,000 or $30,000 in silent overdraft? That’s just nonsense. At that point, it should be classified as an authorized overdraft...
The goal here is to stop banks from playing dirty by abusing those silent overdraft approvals on transactions that should actually be cleared. Right now, about 95% of all approved overdrafts are happening silently, even though that was originally supposed to be the exception, not the rule.
There isn't even a transaction date listed. You’ve got the timestamp for when the receipt was issued up in the top right, but that’s a completely different thing. I mean, sure, in this specific instance they might align, but anyone actually auditing the receipt wouldn't have any way of knowing for sure...

PS. It might be worth renaming this thread to just "Delta SkyMiles" since they're adding so many services—everything from parking and utility bills to buying gift cards or bus passes and stuff like that. 😉
For some reason, though, the payer isn't listed on the receipt...
Daniel Torres said:They hit you with a 1% fee just to send it, then another 2% if you want to grab the cash from a Chase ATM. If you’re trying to pick it up at a newsstand or an ExxonMobil station, they’ll take 4%.
The way I see it, nobody would bother with the transfer option because then the recipient needs an Aircash account too, which just drives the fees even higher. It’d be smarter to just aim for the Chase ATM withdrawal. But instead of picking it up yourself, you'd hand over the code to the recipient... though I'm not sure how much that code is worth once it's generated, or if they'd have to be standing right in front of the ATM the second it pops up...
Jack Chase2 said:Hey everyone, I have a quick question for the group... When you're picking up a transfer, specifically if it's a relatively small amount—something under $333—do they actually require you to show a driver's license or some kind of official ID? Or is it enough to just provide your full name and the transaction code?
Does anyone happen to know if there are any specific services for receiving payments where you don't have to deal with showing an ID at all?
Aircash. The sender just generates a code, and you use that code to grab the cash at a Chase ATM...

You also have to keep in mind that with most printers, the dpi usually needs to be way higher than the ppi if you actually want the result to look decent...
