    I've seen $5 ATM fees. And no I didnt use it.

  2. $18.50 ATM fee at the old Scores, but I'm sure Sapphire Club is the same

    Just go to a branch of your own bank if you know you need cash. Otherwise, your own fault.

    Aren't A.C. ATM fees also ridiculous?

    I think the AC fees are around $4. Not a huge amount when you're dropping $20-$40 bets, etc., but still a scam.

    Yea who ever thought up charging people money to get their own money deserves a royal beatdown...

    AC ATM fees come to hmm I think just under $10 combined (with your bank fees)? Back 5+ years though. I haven't been to AC in a long time. And no, I wasn't the one getting cash out.

    Wow, really?! If you get cash from your own bank they don't charge you?! GOOD TO KNOW!!!

    Sarcasm aside...

    Maybe, just maybe, there are situations where your particular bank is far enough away that the "convenience" (or necessity) of going to an ATM out of your network makes sense...

    the ATM at 1849 charged like 5 somthing..downstairs by the bathroom not teh one outside...

    but i got etrade so i dont give a shiz if its 100$ fee!

  9. StreetMeasOnsumer3008

    Well minus any unavoidable emergencies, that convenience you speak of is pure laziness and what feeds those fat cats. Just walk to your bank or SWITCH to a bank that has ATMs everywhere. I have Chase and they're all over the place. They're even in Duane Reade so no excuses on getting hit up on fees. And what type of purchase warrants the cash anyway? Lay down the plastic. Definitely your own fault if you don't have 5-10 bucks for the halal cart and your bank is miles and miles away. Plus if you know you're a cash-type of person, you should always be ready...

    streetmezzon, you speak sensibly.

    @Samwich I have no idea what you mean by the etrade comment

    @Adam ease up I was just being Captain Obvious, it's fun sometimes instead of being scathingly sarcastic or obstinately obtuse... sometimes.

    ;P

    I don't have a traditional bank....so I need atms! I only have brokerage accounts!

    you always gotta be different? huh Goats?

    I'm bored. I want to add to this thread so you will keep talking and entertain me further.
