anyone know when premium bank xfers will be back? or even why they are down?

3/2 not there this morning

i hear it takes longer to convert it from USD to pesos....

It's called premium bank wire and there's maybe one or two different threads for it in this forum. Search for ftp bank wire or full tilt bank wire

as for me:
requested 2/26
received 3/8

Also, while FT seems to handle echeck cashouts worse than PS at times, just remember it's the gov't ****ing with our money, and the sites are just dancing around minefields for us.

oh premium bank wire, my sincere deepest apologies...what is it exactly? ive never cashed out before, just heard rumors of them

me 2 yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Still ****ING missing my 2-23!!!!

one good thing is FPTSean was responsible for getting support on it. That was a few days ago and nothing resolved !!!!

I'm afraid to even attempt another transfer in fear of this **** happening again! this ****ing sucks.

Well I guess this mean you nicely leveled me earlier then...but it's important to note that there is a "bank transfer", "bank wire", and "premium bank wire" withdrawal option, because there are a ton of posters who get this confused. If not for you, for anyone who doesn't already know the difference.

I used to be exactly like you when this first happened. Calm down. My advice to you is to understand that this happens from time to time. I've been playing/withdrawing there since the UIGEA passed and never once have I not got my money.

More often than not bank xfers instaship within a day or 3 (I usually w/d Fri, get it Mon. or Tues.). There are gonna be times where there's a delay (see my last post on the previous page).

If you are used to getting your money timely, just always keep in mind that it is absolutely not a good idea to expect it to always be this way. Don't depend on cashouts, because at some pt. the gov't will interfere with a processor and FT will have to find a new one.

Requested 2/27 and 3/2. Received one of them today, 3/8, but I'm not sure which one

Requested: 2/28
Approved: Instant
Received 3/8

Received this morning 3/8 for the previous transfer above, and for a transfer I requested on 3/6... woooooooooo!

Jerry Yang double fist pump anyone?

requested 2/28, approved 3/1 still not here.

My 3/2 arrived today. Musta been a hiccup on 3/1-3/2

Ditto same here.

requested 3/4
approved 3/5
received 3/8

the oft discussed but rarely seen cashout.

Premium Bank Wires (PBW) allow the quickest cashout at the highest fee. Experiences vary but something like 1-3 days and $20-50 are common reports.

With PBWs gone, most people's next best electronic option is a Bank Transfer, which are pretty much just fine, except for their $950 limit and occasionally they can take a week longer than PBWs.

Pros want PBWs back because cashing out $10,000/month in $950 increments suuuucks.

BTW, use the search feature, its better than hoping someone answers your FAQ and around here you're gonna get constantly trolled it seems like.

It was probaby the one from 3/2 because I just received mine from 3/2 today and am also still waiting on the one from 2/27

Received first 3/1 request on 3/5.

Checks and transfers can go missing for many reasons. Try to catch your breath, start again. FTP won't let you lose any money, if anything they'll probly give you $100 for your troubles.

Next time don't count on the money being here quickly, it has a long way to travel and has to do so under cover of night ;-)

And if you are truly sick of this, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Join the PPA, spend one hour a month (or less...) proactively helping this game you love. Write your congressman, tell a friend, write a blog, etc etc etc

just received can breathe a sigh of relief

Still waiting for my 3-2 and 3-5 approved withdrawels

I see people are receiving them so I guess there's hope.

Anyone else still waiting for 3-2 withdrawels??

received my 3-2 today, its 2/27 im waiting on
