Amazing, isn't it?
You get banned, fair enough.
But the Spam keeps coming. And coming.
I can't get it to stop!
I guess I deserve that karmically, but man, it just makes me hate them more.
So all of you out there still working the Venmo angle, power on!
And any of you out there on the fence, what do you have to lose? Except for lingering spam, of course. So maybe use a secondary email address?

I was sending back and forth with my wife. They asked for ID - I guess they thought I was sending to myself? Realistically I was. I could have sent in my wife's in, and mine, but I figured I'd get banned anyway, so I didn't bother.
Plenty of people here go back and forth with a spouse, but for whatever reason, I hit the screening system.

So Venmo seems to only be letting me make payments with my bank account, even though the terms say money will be taken from my credit card. I dont have enough money in my bank account to cover it. Has anyone else had this issue? I did try sending a very small purchase and it used my credit card, but anything remotely large, even $25, did not work.

Surely all of you have at least 10 friends that DO NOT use credit card FFM's that you could just send the money to, and get a check, right?
Don't send it to someone who is going to send it back - you will be flagged and banned pretty quick.

I've been sending/charging amounts ranging from $48 to $702... so far so good. For those that are going back and forth, might I suggest breaking up and combining the transactions?
A to B = $100 + $65 in 2 transactions
B to A = $165 in 1 transaction
A to B = $100 + $65 in 2 transactions
B to A = $165 in 1 transaction
