What happens if I cash a cashiers check at a check cashing company and later the check bouces?

May 20, 2008 by JT | Posted in Other - Business & Finance

I take a cashiers check to a check cashing company and they cash the check, only taking my id information. later that week if the check were to bounce, who is left reponsible? Does the check cashing company file it on your credit report, or just attempt to collect debt from the person whom cashed the check?

Cashiers checks don't bounce. They are just as good as cash.

How do cash back credit card really work?

Jun 21, 2007 by Kramer | Posted in Credit

I want a Chase Freedom credit card because it offers cash back and I tend to be spendy. How does cash back program really work? I mean do you have to spend a certain amount to get cash back or what's the deal?

Yes, some credit cards you earn points everytime you use it. For every $1 retail, you earn 1 point (balance transfer or direct deposit are not eligible). Sometimes you earn 1% cash back, other credit cards you may earn 5%. Each card works differently. You can only redeem points starting at 2500 points with BOA. To redeem the points for cash, just call their customer service.

When you return the merchandize, the points will be deducted from your account.

How can I take cash out of my credit card without using a cash advance?

Jul 02, 2007 by sruly m | Posted in Credit

I need $3000 cash quick, and I have a $3000 credit limit but a $600 cash advance limit. I also dont wanna pay the cash advance fees?

You can't. Even if you make a purchase and get cash back at the time of the purchase, it's considered a cash advance. Some cards waive the cash advance fee if you get it at the time of a purchase, but you still accrue intereste charges from that point. You would also not be able to get $3000 cash on a credit card with a $3000 credit limit. There is no way around that.

How should cash received as deposit by a univesity from students be treated accounting wise?

Feb 24, 2008 by fungirl | Posted in Other - Business & Finance

It should go to unearned revenue and cash account. But should it go to a restricted cash account? Can the university mingle the funds in a general cash account? CPA only please....Thank you.

If you consider it as an unearned revenue, then the university may definitely use it as general cash.

If it's a deposit that can be redeemed or withdrawn, then that's the only time you can take the conservative route of placing a restriction on the use.

How do cash registers and using bar codes work?

Jan 25, 2009 by thedawning91 | Posted in Other - Business & Finance

I'm planning on opening a clothing store when I finish school, and I am wondering, how does using a cash register with all the bar codes and stuff work. Do I have to put them on file or something? Like the bar code with that item the article of clothing is?

Duh. The computer doesn't know what the barcode means unless you tell it what you want.
It's a computer, remember? We built them which means we have to program them.

How to we cash out stocks that my siblings and I inherited?

Jan 09, 2008 by Jane F | Posted in Investing

My siblings and I inherited stocks (5 of us listed as beneficiaries). How do we cash them out? Do we each need to open an account and cash them out or can we have the money cashed out in a lump and put into the estate?

Good answer from Spock. If all the siblings want the cash, it can all be sold and distributed. Otherwise, the shares have to be divided first, then sold.

If these shares were held outside of a qualified plan, you also get the benefit of step-up in cost basis, meaning you won't have to pay taxes on the sale (unless they appreciate significantly after taking possession).

How much cash are you allowed to carry with you on an airplane trip overseas?

May 15, 2008 by Laura | Posted in Air Travel

What is the limit for the amount much cash a person can carry with them on an airplane trip overseas? What would happen if someone tried to take a large amount of cash with them on an airplane?

No problem with the airline!

But yes with Customs:

As from 15 June 2007, people travelling directly to or from a country outside the European Union (EU)*and carrying 10,000 euros or more (or the equivalent amount in another currency) will be required to declare the cash to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the place of their departure from, or arrival in, the United Kingdom.( “Cash” not only means currency notes and coins but also bankers’ drafts and cheques of any kind, including travellers’ cheques.) This measure will apply in all EU countries having been introduced under European Parliament and Council Regulation No1889/2005 to help combat money laundering.

Forms on which to make the declaration will be available at ports and airports. Travellers will be liable to financial penalties if they fail to comply with the obligation to declare or provide incomplete or incorrect information.

There will still be no requirement to declare cash for people travelling to or from another EU country.

HMRC officers will not detain properly declared cash if they have no reason to doubt its legitimacy. However, as with cash in amounts of £1000 or more found at any place within the UK, under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), it may be seized if an officer has reasonable grounds to suspect it is either the proceeds of, or is intended for use in, unlawful conduct.
===============================================
Currency
There is no limit to the amount of currency you can bring in or out of Australia. However, you must declare amounts of A$10,000 or more in Australian currency or foreign equivalent. If asked by Customs you must also fill in a Bearer Negotiable Instruments (BNI) form if you're carrying promissory notes, travellers cheques, personal cheques, money orders or postal orders.

=============================================
10. How much cash may I bring with me for my trip?
There is no limit on the total amount of money or monetary instruments that may be brought into or taken out of the United States. However, if you transport or cause to be transported, more than $10,000 in monetary instruments on any occasion into or out of the United States, or if you receive more than that amount, in behalf of someone else and then transport it, you must file a Customs Form 4790 with U.S. Customs. Failure to comply can result in civil and criminal penalties, including seizure of the currency or monetary instruments. Monetary instruments include U.S. or foreign coins, currency, traveler's checks, money orders, and negotiable instruments or investment securities in bearer form are all considered when determining the total $10,000 reporting requirement.

Justin.tv Is Redirecting Porn Queries Into Cash

In the down economy, startups are trying everything they can think of to keep a steady flow of revenue coming in. For popular live-streaming video site Justin.tv, it looks like one of these measures is to try to capitalize on its users’ frequent searches for porn: if you run queries for terms like “xxx” or “sex”, the site will automatically redirect you to a third-party pornography page.

Before users are redirected, they’re presented with a message for five seconds indicating that while Justin.tv has banned adult content, the site is sending them to “a site where you can find what you’re looking for”. The new “feature” may be flying under the banner of convenience, but the site is clearly looking for a new source of income. Justin.tv may well be having trouble coping in the current economy, and a porn affiliate pays far more than a blank search results page.

I don’t think there’s anything morally wrong with what Justin.tv is doing - it’s highly unlikely anyone is going to accidentally search the site for “xxx” and get offended when they’re sent to a porn site (though they might get annoyed). But the new ‘feature’ doesn’t gel with much of the content on the site, which features clips of puppies and video games on its home page. And the site should really include a page confirming that the user is over 18 before redirecting them (there seems to be no such confirmation found on at least some of the redirected porn sites).

Above all, I sincerely hope this isn’t the start of a new trend. I hate when sites redirect me without my permission, and fear that other startups could expand on this technique to include other search categories - how annoying would it be if a search for “soccer” sent users to Nike’s homepage? It may sound like an extreme case, but many startups are getting desperate, and a good user experience is often among the first things sacrificed as they try to stay afloat.
