Even if that does work, how many times would you really want to buy a $0.99 pack of gum and ask for $499.01 back? That is hella suspicious. I'm sure the most a cashier typically ever sees in a request for cash back is $100 or so. You could get away with a few times saying you're trying to avoid the ATM fees but after that people are going to start taking notice because cashiers are going to have to start getting their drawers refilled more frequently.

If a store gave cashbacks like that, I'd be happy to make real purchases of 50 or 100 dollars and then cash out the rest. But I highly doubt places would like you to empty their registers of cash.

someone might have to try out Costco and see what their limit is... but from what I gather most all places have a limit of $100/transaction (if they even have that much cash in the register that isnt $1 or $5 bills -- they are def not gonna clean out their register for you to do multiple CB transactions at a time -- unless they are your best friends.)
I do remember back in the day some places had $200 limits, but pretty sure those days are over fwiw.

Contest to see who'll get the most PMs?
Same reason someone charges a GC when it says not eligible for rewards.
There are fee free ATMs.
