Learn what the limits are and you will have your answer.

No, I didn't try the same day, because I think it's well-established that $1500 in one day is over the limit. Also, there really is no need to get that much out in the same day.
You said $1k appears to be the monthly limit. The limits for monthly/daily transactions are different, and I don't know why you think your daily limit is also your monthly limit.

DID NOT say $1k cash back from store. I meant the max cash you can get from it seems to be $1k a month. including ATM withdrawal, Money orders or cash backs. I tried money order for $500, it got declined, tried $498 and worked.
Cashback and atm withdrawal or money order all at same day DIDN'T WORK

Do you mean 25+24 = 49 withdrawals?
Do you mean 20+20 = 40 withdrawals?
This has been driving me crazy all morning and I still cannot figure this math out... Please can you explain??
In the above example brackets why are you adding the 2 sets of 25 $2.50 and 24 $2.00 withdrawals in the first AMEX case and then 2 sets of 20 $2.50 withdrawals for the second Wells Fargo Example? It almost seems like you mean 49 and 40 total withdrawals respectively
-- but then that doesn't make sense adding to 10k either... (??)
-- So please can you explain what you meant here?

The ATM withdrawal limit is $500.00 per day, $1,500.00 within any seven (7) day rolling period, and $5,000.00 within any thirty (30) day rolling period
you may use your Card with your PIN to make POS purchases of goods and services and obtain cash. The maximum purchase amount per transaction is $600.00
You may use your Card to pay bills over the telephone, Internet, or through preauthorized debits up to the amount of funds available through your Card, with a maximum purchase amount per transaction of $600.00
From the datapoints that have been shared in this thread, it seems as though money orders and/or cash back may also be counting against the ATM withdrawal limit(s).

No, it does not mean 49 and 40 withdrawals, it is 25 and 20 withdrawals.
OP is assuming the ATM charges a fee of $2.50 (as many do). The amex card charges $2 per withdrawal (first one free), WF card charges $2.50 per withdrawal. so you have ATM fee + card fee in the OP's math.

In post #295, you said "I meant the max cash you can get from it seems to be $1k a month." That is what I was addressing.

Personal Experience: My first load was only 1k so I had no problems withdrawing it all at an ATM over two separate $500 transactions.

While I agree that it appears ATM/MO/CB are all being combined into the same limiters, I'm thinking the limits as stated in the T&C still apply as others have shared datapoints having withdrawn more than 1k in less than a month. What were your time frames of transactions attempts?

My question is how much time had passed between the 2 ATM WITHDRAWALS of $500 each ($1000) and the single $500 ATM WITHDRAWAL / $100 CB. If all of that was in a rolling 7 days then yes the CB wouldn't work because you'd be over the $1500 limit in a rolling 7 day period.
