Verizon has a "Square" deal for customers
Share:
Verizon is now offering the Square Card Reader for $9.97 which comes with a $10 Square account credit. Square normally hands out the reader for free, so this is the way they are doing it when you pick up the service from a retailer. There are no contracts, minimums or set-up fees involved with the service. Setting up the service is quick, painless, and you simply link your Square account with your bank account. We've seen Square all over locations where a seller is offering something that would be an impulse buy. Think about the vendors at Comic-Con. Heck, with Square, even the Sabrett hot dog guy on the streets of New York can use his Apple iPhone to ring up a couple of dogs. That is, assuming his Apple iPhone hasn't yet been stolen.

It's good only for hot dogs. I got in trouble with it cause they didn't like big charges. Usless for any kind of real business.

What do you mean you got into trouble with big charges?

You just have to gather a two sheet long list of documents and wait long for the money to finally arrive. If you do a couple of hot dogs, you'll get it quickly, 3 to 5 days, like they promise. But if you have thousands, you'll have more hassle than you need.

Trouble was I had to jump through hoops for 2 weeks. Then I had to cancel transactions, cancel their services, and charge again with the newly signed up Intuit service. Very embarrassing in front of clients.... And cost me more money, cause I had to charge without swiping the cards second time around.

I use Square from time to time and do several $200+ transactions per day when I use it. I haven't gone over $500 on a single transaction or $2000/day, but no issues so far.
