Credit Card Reader+Service for iPhone

I've read $1 for the hardware, app and service is free, 2.9% commission on all transactions...
I think it's cool and will be definitely grabbing one.

I think it doesn't require them to be a member? For their ID photo they would have to be a member obviously though.
Could I use this with my credit card, pay myself say $100, then deposit the $97.10 into my bank account, then withdraw cash? Beats the 19.99% instant interest my credit card has for cash withdrawls...

Re: Credit Card Reader+Service for iPhone
haha .. just had a thought watching that .. with the card reader its a new way to steal the card details
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.

Re: Credit Card Reader+Service for iPhone
After thinking more about this, I have a concern. If someone stole my credit card, what is to stop them from just taking my money using their mobile phone. I've tried to 'sign' with my finger and it looks nothing like my signature. I'd be more comfortable if it were a pin code system. Don't get me wrong, I think it is brilliant but I am concerned about theft and fraud.

Re: Credit Card Reader+Service for iPhone
I guess this method, each transfer is logged with the company that provides the service. When you get your credit card bill, their name and the user's name will show on your bill. Thus it can be easily tracked.Robbo wrote:After thinking more about this, I have a concern. If someone stole my credit card, what is to stop them from just taking my money using their mobile phone.

Also, when someone steals your card, all they need is the number, name, expiry date and CV code and you're screwed. No swiping necessary.
