Cash back from credit card in actual cash?
by Author on Thursday, August 5th, 2010 | 3 Comments
I know that when I pay with a credit card at Giant, I'm given an option that says "Cash Back?". I never clicked Yes before, but a few days ago I tried to get cash back using my credit card at Weis, another food store. It wouldn't give me cash back, and the cashier said it was probably because I was using a credit card instead of a debit card. This confuses me because my mom has gotten cash back before and she almost never uses debit. So why can't I use the cash back option?
Notes: We both have Discover Cards. I was given permission to use this option, I just can't figure out how.

Certain merchants allow cash back using a Discover Card. Be sure to punch in Credit, in the terminal (not debit) it should then ask "Do you want cash back" and show you amounts available (usually $20, $40, $50, $60)
In my experience $60 is the most you can get.
Just be sure the store allows it and your parents approve of you getting a cash withdrawal!!!
Maybe you have activated this service. I had to activate the cash back side of it before I could obtain any. Phone the card supplier
Discover is the only credit (as opposed to debit) card that allows you to do cash back (they call it "cash over"). Only a few stores offer it. You can find a list on the Discover website.
