Possible vending machine MS
Just throwing this out there...
Went to my gym a few days ago and noticed a vending machine dispensing drinks and protein shakes (up to $5-6 / pop). Noticed machine accepts CC and cash, so my internal MS alarm was sounding off. I put a quarter in, then added the remaining balance up to $6 from a CC, then pushed refund, and it spit out dollar bills and quarters! The machine had a Ventech label on it if I remember correctly. Obviously not the best system and limited to how much cash is in the machine (not to mention COMPLETELY shafting other gym members who actually want to buy drinks and get change back), but could be an idea for some. |
lmao.

If anyone is really going to bother manufacturing spend at a rate of $5 a pop, they really need to just close all their accounts and give up on credit cards.
|
lol glad to see so many people working on alternatives
|
those who are against restricting the forum argue that if newbies are kept out we will lose the additional ideas they come up with.
yes, it would be tragic if we lost such gold mines as this. QUICK, delete your post so it doesn't die- there are 10's of points that could be lost if this gem ever gets out... |
The vending machines at my work are coded as restaurant.
|
It is a good thing it didn't refund the balance on your card in quarters.

This is hilarious, although has anybody ever seen those sony underwater headphones: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...ttles-of-Water
At least that way you'd be getting $100/pop. Although it's still ethically bankrupt. |

You get an "A" for effort my friend. Everybody else here is just waiting for the next MS technique that will get over exploited. Looks like the next one you find, you should keep for yourself. After all, why would you kill your goose that lays a golden egg? I like the notion of vending machines but will not employ it.

My coworker put a dollar into the vending machine at work the other day for twizzlers. The machine spit out three packs of twizzlers and 4 quarters. I thought this thread might be divulging the secret of making that happen.

I don't get it, how do I liquidate the twizzlers? Can I load BB with twizzlers? I tried that once at my walmart but they said the only accept actual currency. |

So, where is this generous twizzler-gifting vending machine? |
No need! I spend all my MS profit on twizzlers anyway, so this just saves a few steps. Unfortunately, it didn't work when I tried it.
