requested 8/13
approved INSTANTLY
rec'd 8/14

-35 in intermediary bank fee, no charge from usb@nk, unknown RB hit.

Unbelievably fast, faster than netteller ever was. So awesome, but the ~$50 hit I think is a bit excessive.

Prob gonna switch back to checks.

Anyone know if this is a better deal than 5 bank transfers? I can't figure out the rakeback loss because I have rakeback pros.

premo wire costs ~$25 in rakeback, + $30-50 in missing money...so $55-$75.

I think bank transfers cost you a few dollars each time.

I did a Premium Bank Wire about a week ago, and have not received it yet. Likely because I attempted to withdraw the funds to my ING savings account and it must have come from an international bank (I am in the US) and ING does not accept int'l wire transfers. I had one go through previously unmolested with no fees, but right now I am assuming they tried to send this one from an overseas processor. However, the lack of activity in this thread makes me curious if there's a chance they are just delayed for everyone who requested in the last couple of weeks. I was hoping to avoid funneling all my funds to my ING savings through my checking account via $950 ACH transfers or by using checks, but it looks like I don't have much choice.

No fees from my bank for prem.

if people were having trouble, the thread wouldn't have a lack of activity

mine have been coming through fine. about to request another, will post if I have trouble

request: 8/23
received: 8/25
fee: $17

super fast very pleased with this

btw

did you mean $25 hit to rakeback or MGR?

$75 hit to MGR....$75x0.27=$20.25

I think that's right

They told me too that there was no MGR hit. T

I did not get any MGR hit from my affiliate either for doing my 1st Premium Bank Wire. Currently waiting on my 2nd one, will post if anything different happens.

Why do I not even have an option in FullTilt Cashier to deposit/withdraw with 'BankWire' ...

I have Instadebit, Moneybookers, Entropay, and all those other things.. but no Bank Wire..

Can someone explain. I live in Canada.

Good news on this. I requested it on 8/16. It was approved on 8/17. It was subsequently rejected by my bank, because it apparently came from overseas. I was afraid it might take a month total to get the money back in my account, but I am happy to report that they returned it last night (8/26.) There apparently were $36 of intermediary bank fees, but FTP did a "cash deposit" of the $36 to make me whole, no questions asked. Very pleased.

You can imagine how I felt at 8am when I opened my phone and saw like 8 FTP cashier emails, I thought for sure I got hacked and cleaned out somehow, lol

Anyway, this bodes well in the event that individual banks start getting picky and overblocking gambling-related transactions. Not as likely to happen with a wire as it will be pretty difficult for them to make that determination, but if for some reason your bank does reject the wire, this at least gives hope for a reasonably quick turnaround on getting the money back in your account.

Is anyone having any issues right now with withdraw's... click on Bank Wire and it says unable to process, click on check and the same. Just curious if this is isolated or is with everyone due to the recent update and deposit issues.

Thanks

so your bank just blocked the wire without contacting you at all?

Received 8/27 @ 11am with no 3rd party fees taken out!

This was a Premium Bank Wire! ship it!

his bank doesn't accept international wires...

That's awesome, I hope I run as good.

If anyone uses PNC bank, could you please let me know here or via PM what the fees you have generally encountered with this? Thanks

usually my wires are processed instantly, have waited over 24 hours and still nothing, also a bank xfer got cancelled due to a 3rd party ****ting the bed

latest wire came in quickly like usual
