All of my QT charges are from Dubai...

Yes...their support is poor.

Well, they're back at it again...

Last week, QT charged me for 1 extra deposit, which was what started this thread.. and after wasting too much time with emails and their sub-standard support, they finally did reverse this charge.

Last night, I log into my Bank account and see 3 new and separate charges from QT that were not made by me! These guys are crooked...its as if they are testing to see who notices what..if no complaints, then thats money in there pockets.

I wish I had more options for deposits/ withdrawals...I'm so ready to dump this usemywallet.

Again, for those depositing into QT with CCards, check your transaction logs daily...you might find extra charges, like me.

Hi everyone,

Indicka, I am so sorry that you are having such trouble with these crooked e-wallets. I am also from the US and I deposit using my Mastercard Debit card. The one I use is prepaid. I bought it in a check cashing facility and I just put money on it whenever I run out. Another Mastercard is by Wired Plastic. This is also a prepaid card. The email addy's for each are www.netspend.com, and www.wiredplastic.com. For some reason the Visa Cards are tempermental, however, my Mastercard works everywhere on the internet. I have been using my prepaid debit card for years and I love it. Hope this helps you.

Thank you Linda7 for your suggestions.

In regards to the aforementioned prepaid cards, will the casinos process your cashins/ withdrawals to these cards? Or, are they good only for deposits into casinos? Have you experienced any limitations with your prepaid Mastercard?

...and Kissessssss

From my experience with QT and from what you described, I would guess your mysterious $49.96 charge was from QT. Similarities: 1) For $50 deposits, QT has been charging me a few cents less, a random amount ranging from $49.80 to $49.98 (you gotta love the discount!). 2) All of my QT charges are from Dubai. 3) charges to and amounts debited from my bank account involves a Debit Card 4) their phone numbers are bunk

My bank would refund my money, cancel my card, and issue me a new one if I requested it. However, I do think this would raise some red flags with my bank...and as a result, they would probably limit my MasterCard use to just buying groceries and maybe gas.

Hi Indicka, Unfortunately these cards are only good for deposits. As for withdrawals I ask the casino for a check, or an ach. I use Netspend's Mastercard. The only limitation is the amount that you can load to the card which is 2500 per day. I like to use the prepaid Mastercard since I can deposit directly into the casino via their cashier, thus, avoiding any third party charges. It costs $1.50 to load money onto your card which is very reasonable. I tend to use my card alot. Each time you use it you can either be charged $1.50 per transaction or pay 9.95 per month for unlimited usage. I chose the 9.95/month plan as it works out to be much cheaper than to pay for each individual charge/deposit. Since I know how much I start the day with, it is very easy to keep track of my money. I tend to make numerous deposits for the same amount at the same casino and never had one duplicate charge in all the years that I am using this depositing method. I hope this helps and do not hesitate to let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I remember now why I didn't buy a Netspend card months ago. The reason was this inability to withdraw winnings to it.
I like to have my winnings/ money available for use as quickly as possible. I remember hearing that typically, check and ACH withdrawals to the US, take about a month before that money is available to the payee. For me, thats too long. However, because of my current situation, I might have to reconsider.

Thanks

I just wanted to say that becareful using e-wallet from a third party companies. I would done some research first before you sign up. For examples. Do they have phone support? Is their web secured for transaction? How is their customer service rating is? What is their fees? How long they been in the company? Check out some forums what they say about those companies.

I almost sign up with quick tender and gave up when I couldn't register and they don't have phone support.

I also use Netspend/Wired Plastic for my deposits. However, I have my Quicktender account set up to send any withdrawals to my Wired Plastic account. They accept wires and other than it takes too darn long for QT/WP to process deposits, I have had no problem. That way, no banks are really involved.

I am not real thrilled with QT but if that's all you got, you have to work with it.

Hope this helps someone.
