my mom left me for about 2 weeks while she went to france. she gave me one of her cards so i can go get groceries and shit but i wanted to use it at the atm because im out of cash and apparently my dealer doesnt take credit cards which is bull shit. is there such thing as a card that doesnt require a pin at an atm? because i dont know what her pin is.

no. i'd say go buy something at the grocery store or wherever for say $50. then go back and return the item with the receipt and ask for the money back. now you have $50 in cash money.

I thought that this was gonna be a thread asking us for our credit card numbers and pins.
But since it's not, the post above is correct.

won't work. if he doesn't know the pin number then to buy groceries he has to use credit. you can't get cash back with a credit card 99% of the time.

try again, i work at a fucking grocery store and i'm telling you 99% of cards used as credit won't let you get cash back. not to mention NO store is going to give you $700 cash back. cute story though.

no it really isnt possible. Ive worked at a grocery store for 4 years now, you CANNOT get cash back unless you know the PIN number for the Debit card.

Proof:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debit_card_cashback

quote since i doubt you read it:

"Merchants do not offer cashback on payments by credit card because they would pay a percentage commission of the additional cash amount to their bank or merchant services provider.

i dont understand why she left you the card without the pin though.

in theory, debit cards should not work without the pin.

wherever they do, the people are running it as credit, and shouldn't be able to give cash advances anyway.

i'd say call up your mom and be like 'uhh this is debit. which means no pin=no money. and mo pin=mo money. and i need food. and a toothbrush.'

if she was going to keep the pin to herself i dont see why she left the card...?

i also work at a grocery store. when you swipe the card, the cashier will ask if you want cash back, and if you say yes then you have to hit debit. hit debit and you have to enter your pin.

sorry, but that wont work

If the card has a VISA or Mastercard logo, it can be processed as "credit", which means no pin entry, and a signature for the purchase.

I have a bank card, use it for all my purchases, and almost never use it as a debit.
