PayPal WD Funds

• Withdraw funds from a PayPal account (please note that there may be initial limits on the amount of money a user can withdraw from a PayPal account each month due to security issues)
• PayPal customers who have not completed required steps will be limited to withdraw the equivalent of $500.00 per month regardless of how much money they have earned in that given month
• The start of a month is determined by when the PayPal account was opened (for example, May 15 to June 15)

PayPal.com/WDFunds is super simple to use and customers will be able to complete a withdraw request in less than 30 seconds (assuming they are Internet savoy and not 90 years old).  Those that wish to withdraw more than 500 bucks a month need to verify the bank account or credit/debit card information on file.  The verification is super simple and can be accomplished by linking the customer’s card/bank account and verifying a small deposit.

www.PayPal.comWDFunds Notes

1. The current maximum limit of a withdrawal is USD 10,000 regardless of how much money is in the account
2. Those who make more than a few hundred dollars a day will want to verify their account
3. Please make sure the name of the customer on the bank account or credit card matches the account name at PayPal or the verification process will fail
4. PayPal takes these verification steps to protect against stolen credit cards and ID fraud
5. PayPal prohibits the following gambling activities: baccarat, blackjack, craps, faro, keno, pachinko, pai gow, poker (whether or not it is considered a game of skill in the gambler’s jurisdiction), roulette, sic bo, slot machines, or wheel of fortune

• Check to see if your one of millions who had their personal information on Equinox hacked
• It appears that Equinox has added a comment in the faqs portion of the page that those who sign up for the TrustedID Premier service will NOT lose their right to partipaye in a class action lawsuit
• Experts close to the case think that Equinox only added this statement recently in hopes to avoid a massive uproar over the incedent (originally the FAQ statement was not listed and those who signed up for the TrustedID Premier service would forgo their right to file a class action lawsuit)

EquifaxSecurity2017.com is powered by Equifax Inc. and is designed to provide details about the recent cyber hack.  Equifax has recently tripled their call center staff to more than 2000 agents to deal with the influx of calls they are receiving in regards to the hack.  Some consumers who visited EquifaxSecurity2017.com when it was first online were unable receive confirmation clarifying whether or not they were potentially impacted. That issue is now resolved, and Equinox encourages those consumers to revisit the site to receive a response that clarifies their status.  According to reports the Equifax security hack affected more than 140,000,000 accounts and approximately 209,000 credit cards from U.S. consumers were stolen.

• Equifax can be reached at 866-447-7559, every day (including weekends) from 7:00 a.m. – 1:00 a.m. Eastern time in regards to questions about the hack

• Overall, how would you rate the physical store environment at this North Face store?
• Overall, how well did North Face products meet your expectations?

At the end of the survey the customer is only offered to join the NorthFace VIPeak Rewards program which provides reward points on purchases fro The North Face (online or in store).  These points can then be redeemed for adventures around the globe, future event entries or cash back credit at North Face retail locations.  The VIPeak Rewards program is pretty nice BUT one would like to see a better reward for providing feedback in regards to customer survey (i.e. money saving coupon or a sweepstakes entry would be ideal here).

www.TheNorthFace.com/IMRetailSurvey Final Notes

• Requires the Internet
• DOES NOT provide a reward for the customers time
• Feedback will be used to make North Face a better place to shop and improve products (i.e. snow jackets, winter boots)
