yea, but there is no difference in AP's point of view whether you send it to BB or your bank account. The problem is that BB could at any moment decide to hold your funds and with the increased load activity just simply ban you for suspicious behavior. depositing $10k a month would mean you make $100K+ a year, why would a person making that much money use BB? That is what BB will think, and they will ban you for suspicious activity...

But the whole point is that you are just wasting time, you OBVIOUSLY want this money in a checking account, dont you? So like I said, AP will not see any difference if you send it to BB or a real bank account, thus you are better off just sending it to a bank account...

Whoremail.

Quick question- I sent through a payment from mrs bm to myself earlier and made a typo to @hormail.com.

Wondering how I can reverse the payment? I saw a note saying that the user is unknown and must join within 30 days... Anyone made a typo like this and reversed the payment?

Not exactly this situation but once i sent to my yahoo mail id instead of my registered gmail. I had to change my user id to yahoo and everything was good.

try looking at the transaction history in the mrs account - since the send to email is unregistered you should be able to select a cancel transaction button. the transaction will be reversed and the account limit reset either later today or tomorrow.

Well, AP can ban you and hold up your money, too. I don't think it's obvious that the OP obviously wants his money in a checking account....heck, BB IS a checking account. I think it's just as easy or easier to pay bills from BB as it is a traditional checking account. In that respect, it's a perfectly viable place to transfer AP money into. I do it myself on one of my AP accounts. But everyone's situation and priorities are different.

The point is, everyone needs to understand that there's risk in this game, primarily in the form of getting suspended and having your funds held up. I had to wait over 6 months once to get funds released. So, I only put "points hobby" cash flow money into these games, money that I'll be using to pay day to day bills, etc. Money that I'm NOT willing to risk, or where I'm trying to earn a return - tuition, investments, pension, etc. - doesn't get anywhere near AP or BB or my other games.

Nice to know the working girls are taking advantage of the latest advances in online banking technologies.

Don't let the Mrs. see details of your account history...

I just looked at the T&C of AP and I thought I saw that it only allows a max of $ 500 monthly. Can someone please point me to a link where it states the $1000 limit?

My wife has been sending just under $1000 every month via AP for a while now. If the T&C really say $500 max (are you sure you're looking at the right T&C?), they have not been enforcing that.

The limit is $1k per month. check something like "send and receive limits" under your account.

AlohaDaveKennedy Jan 20, 2013 2:42 pm

Indeed. Seems AP is in its twilight days.

If you look at the very early posts of this thread, you'll see one that says "may this thread die into obscurity". No such luck. My great fear is that, like Office Depot, and like the Mint before it, AP will suffer a big enough onslaught of newbies with Gold Rush mentality that they will have no choice but to shut it down.
