Walking into a bank with a temp card with no name on it and asking for $499.50 is sketch. Do it at your own risk
My bank refused to do it since the card didn't have any name. They even kept my ID for 15 minutes and asked all sorts of questions and I'm pretty sure they filed a SAR. I only had 500 on the card and so could cash out via other means, but good luck if you get stuck with a lot of money on the card. There's a per transaction fee of 50c IIRC.
Yeah I think this is one of the things you want to do with a perm. card and with a lot of money on it. If you keep going in and asking for $499.50 or something like that it will seem awfully suspicious and they will keep filling out SARs. Even though you arent doing anything illegal, having a bunch of SAR's is not something you want.
Yeah... There are ways to go about this that are less risky so just make sure you do it correctly. This is one that you want to tread lightly with. I would not say to not do it, just be careful with it.
I've not tried it, but I wonder if you were just upfront with them about what you were doing... I assume most tellers would kinda get it and let it happen.

You would have to convince more than the teller, in this case the bank manager is usually behind the counter approving certain transactions. As said before, this isn't just visiting an ATM, you are having a face to face with a teller, manager, etc. with an unmarked debit card asking for cash. Let's put 2 + 2 together and realize this isn't the smartest thing to do. There are many other options available that involve much less risk to FTers.

Maybe everyone should give it 1 good try. Bahaha!
and well....if you get by with it once, may as well try again. (not).
Just needed a good laugh to start the New Year off.
