buying quarters to do laundry? .... question |
|
So, let's say I need to buy like $5.00 of quarters. Can I go to a bank where I do not have an account and buy quarters from them using my credit card? after all, it is a BANK, but do they sell money. I should be able to do that, right?

1. No. They wouldn't want to pay the % on your card. |
|
You could just withdraw from your account of course and request it in quarters.

2. You can also just go to your local grocery store at the Customer Service |
|
desk. I get rolls of quarters from my Kroger all the time. Doesn't cost me anything, whether by cash or debit :)

3. They will not give you cash off your credit card |
|
If you took in $5 bill and asked for quarters they may do that.

... you may need to pay cash. Also you might need to get $10 worth, as that is "a roll" of quarters.

Any bank will run a cash advance for you off a credit card and disperse that cash to you in the increment of your choice. SunTrust where I used to work will not run a cash advance for less than $25.
Also know that while there is no fee often for the advancing bank, the issuing bank can and often does charge you for this service in addition to the cash-advance interest rate which is usually the lower of {5% higher than the base interest rate on your card or equal to the penalty-rate on the card.}
Also, quarters come in rolls of $10, not $5. You can get $5 in quarters but your teller will hate you.

7. At my local car wash, there is an ATM |
|
that you can put a $5 bill into and get $5 in quarters. Or you can use your debt card for $5 and get $5 in quarters. It cost that much to wash the car.
