Technically Square Cash doesn't require a normal Square account. This seems like a simple transfer of money. I can't see Square holding on to Person A's money and not sending it to Person B. If they don't want to transfer it for suspicious reasons then it obviously has to be returned to Person A. I could be wrong but feels different. Go slow.

Just tried with a GiftcardMall Visa which failed. "Can't use pre-paid cards"

Today's Wall Street Journal has very clear article on Square Cash.

I also had a failure on a my Gift Card Mall Visa, but I was successful on one of two mygiftcardsite.com MC Gift Cards.
I am wondering if I accept a payment if it will offset any miles earning spending I've made on my UFB debit card. If I spend $500 and receive $100 on the card will I earn 250 or 200 miles? I'll test it out this month and see how it works. Being able to receive money without losing miles would be helpful.
This might finally make it worth getting an Alaska Airlines or Delta SkyMiles debit card.

"Receive a Square Cash Payment
To collect your money, all you need to do is link a debit card or bank account after you receive a payment. We'll deposit the full amount to your debit card or your checking account. There’s no fee to accept Square Cash."
So, it looks like Mrs. Andyandy will be linking her checking account and getting some payments from Suntrust. She doesn't have a miles earning debit, so I'm planning on one way only.
