Walmart's effort to get customers to build up their savings accounts

I suppose you're in the wrong income bracket to have considered services from them.

Yes, they do charge fees at the register, regardless your link. When I went and deposited the $200 check from Wal-mart at a register, and $197 goes in... yeah. You can link URL's all you want. But 3$ disappeared in that transaction for "reasons".

I know because I've used the plans that people here are talking about. Unlike the rest of you, I've had them. I've used and been used by them.

Withdrawing cash != cashing a check. Stop accusing people of not being familiar with these products just because they aren't conflating different services the way you are.

Ah, another silver-spoon apologist who has never seen or used these plans.

No shit the act of depositing and withdrawing are different. But they still get their $3 cut for each of these. How about you go spend 3 packets of $200 on this and report back your results instead?

Why can't you just tell us about the time you withdrew cash from this card at Walmart and got charged a fee? Is it because that doesn't happen?
