Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted April 24, 2007 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The ATM machines they don't last too long,They are usually empty on the second day,that is if you can find them All of those that I have seen on Carnival might last longer if they would stock them with 100's instead of 20's. If I want to sit down at the BJ table with $500 - I would be somewhat hesitant to plop down 25 $20 bills. I suppose the ATM is more for $5 table and slot players. Your total cost of going to the ATM for $500 (including most bank charges - assuming it is a DEBIT card coming out of checking) would be less than $10. If you go to the cage or table and use your S&S card, the fee would be $15. If you have your S&S card backed with a traditional credit card, it would DEFINITELY be cheaper to incur the 3% charge to your account. This will, in the end, process against your credit card as a purchase rather than a cash advance... big difference! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc2425 Posted May 15, 2007 #11 Share Posted May 15, 2007 We were just on the Triumph and my sister needed to get more cash. We went to the casino and she got money put on her s&s card, played a little bit and then went to the cashier and got the cash. NO 3% charge.

No 3% surcharge on table advances. No one believed me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true Rob, we believed you, we just found it strange the Triumph is doing that and not other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindrid Posted May 15, 2007 #14 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I have seen a variety of things in casinos. The majority of lines do charge a surcharge. Then again, I have had them waive it for me as they figured out that I spent a lot of time in the casino as I was too lazy to go back to my room and get cash. The only thing for sure is nothing's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted May 15, 2007 #15 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Not true Rob, we believed you, we just found it strange the Triumph is doing that and not other ships. I enjoyed a waiver of the 3% on the Legend - but they were already into me for a big chunk of change....:eek: I think it is at the discretion of the pit bosses - or more specifically - the casino management.
