i remember it saying like 3 days or something.

you will need to talk to your bank eventually. Maybe they are calling about something else....

if not...

then if they ask you about a transaction here are some suggestions:

1. you are recieving payment from an online business

2. you are a porn star and recieve payment from online processors

3. you are some kind of consultant and recieve payment from many different processors.

4. it is none of their gd business and who pays you for your work online and if they don't like it you will open account at one of the 35 other banks in town.

IDK, use your head, but what ever you do don't tell them its for poker. Its none of their business.

This wouldn't be that big of a deal, i only use the account for poker purposes so there's no $$$ in it unless I do a bank wire. I do agree though that I should confront them sooner or later and just use one of the excuses that was suggested (goin' w/ the logical choice w/ porn star). I'm also considering just opening up another account w/ a separate bank and just sending my poker $$$ there.

fyi, banks don't like it if you process wires in and then immediately remove it

example
you receive $5k wire from FT, the next day you transfer $5k to your regular bank account

this will give them good reason to think you are money laundering and is likely to make them ask questions of you

I haven't received my premium wire approved on 3/26

This is more than 7 business days now, anyone else have this problem?

requested mine on the 29th still no $$

hey axis , i was accepted for a premium on the 27th march , to go to my netspend( or metabank)account, still nothing, but not surprised as it took over a month of verification(to get account opened after i first tryed to withdrawl , all the way down to a screenshot and card records. faith is only key, and maybe sending an email, but after seeing you are basically in the same situation as i am than i will hold off on emailing yet and just expect(or not expect,ha) that it will come anytime soon, one more week wait for me, but let's keep each other updated on this,yea?

requested premium bank wire 4/4 approved within a few hours and received it today 4/7

I sent an e-mail to FTP that asked in a pretty nice way "where the **** is my money." I got this in response.

Is this just a stalling tactic on their part? I don't mean to brag about my sleuthing skills, but I think I could figure out if there was a 4k deposit in my bank account.

Sir I don't know where you got the idea to do a bank wire to a pre paid debit card. This will not work. I hope this doesn't cause problems to the card I and many use and enjoy. Again, you can not do a bank wire to a netspend. Also, please never attempt to deposit via echeck with your netspend, it will not work.

What you can do is deposit via visa and withdraw via bank transfer (an ACH transaction) What did you enter when asked for a swift code? You do know the difference between a wire and an ach transaction, right? I'm afraid you are going to wait a bit now, but I would email FTP and let them know what you attempted as it might speed up the process for you.

hello, i would like to ask you, did anyone have experience with bank transfer, but putting money on your ft account..it is now 3rd or 4th working day and my money is not there.. i contacted cashier, they will investigate it. how long can a bank transfer last to put money on my full tilt account??
thx

Requested: 4/3
Received last night/this morning: 4/8

Ended up doing the wire last night. Hopefully everything runs smoothly.

requested: 4/07/10
approved: 4/08/10 1am this morning
transaction pending

8th business day still no $

maybe you typoed in your cashout request?

i've done 2 PBWs recently, both received in 3-4 biz days.

If this email you posted is real, LOL @ FTP for not even using the correct terminology in their own emails. Bank wire /= bank transfer.

I had a $1750 wire requested and approved on March 23 and now, twelve business days later, I am still waiting for the money. I have done many previous wires and all have come within three business days.

I got the same canned response as Saymond and sent in a screenshot of my bank info, only to be asked the same question (in the same canned email) as a response. Now, after a lot of back and forth, FT still claims to be waiting to hear from their payment processor about what happened. I of course checked with my bank and they have no record of any wire attempt.

The fact that this happened to others is not a good sign. Since some people are still getting their wires, perhaps just one of their payment processors is down.

Whatever the case, I need to do a $4k wire ASAP (don't ask, my finances are complicated). Is it possible for me to initiate another wire while I am waiting for this one to clear? Is it wise? It has been 2.5 weeks since the previous one was approved...

i used the same info that I used on previous successful wire withdrawals. i didnt have to enter anything, it was auto saved. I also received the same " are you sure you didnt notice 5k in your account email that everyone else got"

Beyond their cookie cutter form letter response, they are asking that you send them a copy of your bank statement. Did you do that? That's the next step.

Responded in quotes above.

Thanks for the info, NOFX.

You mentioned that I could do a bank transfer if I needed less than 1k. Does that imply that it is possible to start a second withdrawal (whatever the type) while I wait for FTP to figure out what happened? I have never tried that before, but it seems reasonable. If so, I may just gamble and do another "premium" wire while I wait.

I'm 99.9% sure you can, just try it to be sure. I've had two different cash outs in route, but not by the two methods you mentioned. Again, I'm almost positive you can.

Here is the bank transfer thread so you can get an idea of how they work. Please read at least the last few pages. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28.../index400.html

This is with the assumption that you have funds in your account. If all your funds are tied up in that wire, you will need to wait until that is sorted. You can email them and ask them to cancel it and ship the money back to your account but either way it's going to take some time because if it's been "approved" then it's been sent to their processor and FTP will need to make sure the money wasn't sent/ get it straight with the processor.

$4k wire just requested and immediately approved. We will see if this one or the outrageously late one arrives first (if either actually do arrive...)

I do it all the time with checks. Not exactly the same thing, but I'd give it a shot for sure with wires.

had a premium wire come through less than a week after request, but jesus christ, $49 of fees missing before it even hit my account!
