I've been looking into it and found a cpl things I don't like - they reserve the right to voice/sms spam your phone with ads and they may do a hard pull
If it does work as claimed, I've been considering getting a pair of burner phones and givingit a shot. No way I'm giving them my real #

The rhetorical question is, will individual banks treat "Venmo Payments" as a cash advance rather than a charge?
I'm guessing people that have set their CA limit to $0 on their credit cards have little to lose?

Their faq states that the max withdrawal per month is $500. Churners would best stick to shiny golden pieces.
However, I'm quite taken with this service. If you have an iphone or android phone, I encourage you to download the app. It's very useful, even if you don't already have an account.

Great, just one more deal that some have already been using PRUDENTLY that will now be destroyed within a month by hordes of moochers.
There is a reason it hasn't shown up before on FT Ben, this is the wrong forum to publicize a very fragile deal.
What's the over/under on when Venmo shuts off the spigot?
I'll take by Jan 7th.

It's been discussed many times.
