If and when (knocks on wood) any of you receive the email, do post a data point letting us know what amounts triggered it.

Same for me. Took 3 days to clear $1k, but high 3 digit payments went through pretty quick. Sent almost $3k in a day between the 3 payments. Very into this service. I wish we knew more clearly what potential limits or "abuse" is according to Google, b/c obviously I want to maximize it - but at the same time, this is a super convenient service - even better than Paypal/AZP that could last for years.

From the main Google Wallet thread :

Has anyone risked using a Citi card? Purchase or CA?
Yup. Purchase

My fiancée has a gmail account but not Google Wallet. She's not into points manufacturing. Can I send her money to her gmail account?
Yes. She will need to accept the money and set up an account, though, to get the money out.

Where did you folks see that there is a trial period that is insulated from processing fees?

When I set mine up and sent money, the processing fee showed $.00, or was struck through, don't remember which

There are two places you can see that it's marked as a "trial" period. One is when you click on the "?" mark next to the payment method that shows a table explaining the fees (see the first two screenshots; the second is the modal window that pops up with the table).

Another is when you click on the payment method drop down and pick one of your credit cards; the fee will be crossed out and it will show "No fee" instead (see the third screenshot).

After the weekend and holiday, the $4,000+ transaction that I sent to my wife posted to her bank account. Perfect!

Figured I'd take the plunge and test it out. Take the results as you will and good luck.
