Drinks damn ex

need to make purchase then can withdraw cash, I can understand. If not can imagine everyone just go in and want to withdraw cash.

 

The only think I cant accept for 7eleven is the $0.50cents admin charges for top up of cash card. if you top up $100 or $200, no pain. But $50, $20, or for biker that usually top up $10, its quite a lot. $0.20 - 0.30 should be more acceptable imho

i think hor..... 7-11 give you the cash first then claim from POSB.... that's y must buy something......

HSBC has the same arrangement with Cold Storage at their check out cashier count, hence you have to make purchase to use the service.

I rather 7-11 stop doing all this tie-up, you want to buy something yet everybody in front of you are paying phone and utilities bill, etc. really quite pissed.

Get ready for longer Qs now there, these paying bills and withdrawn scheme are gonna take more time needed.

those buying one packet of drinks or sweets sure piss off.

Thinking of changing to ocbc

[Kb27]

There's always a ocbc atm at 7-eleven.

same thing in the states lo called cash back.

go to any place buy say $55 of stuff - cashier will ask if you want cash back ... if you want $45 then she just charge $100 to your card lo. its quite smart because the company gets to move the physical cash off the property ^^ (7-11 likes to say they have very little money after midnight, and this helps them mitigate the risk of keeping cash)

They may be using the NETs machine to get connected to DBS.

Actually, using NETs machine, you can also check your balance in your bank account.

[Myxilplix]

Does that mean now 7-11 gonna have more cash on hand at night in order to dispense it out?

 

I'm sure thieves will be interested to find out...

Mustafa shopping centre has this scheme as well. Quite useful if you're buying something there and need to get some cash for purchases elsewhere.

[Darthrevan]

very useful service..especially when there are no ATM machines in the vicinity

[Mcf777]

i think mustafa is using the Diners card.

That's a sucks card...not many people hold this card
