Clever Loopholes People Found That Ended Up Saving Them a Lot of Money

Banks usually don’t end up giving away money to their patrons. That’s why this story is so miraculous. This storyteller uses a vending machine at work on a regular basis. Around the time they started snacking on chips during their lunch break, they noticed their bank was regularly crediting $1.50 to their account.

Our storyteller was baffled. Why was their bank giving them $1.50? They soon discovered the reason. For whatever reason, their bank thinks the vending machine is an out-of-network ATM. The bank has a deal where they credit customers back for the service fees. Basically, our storyteller is getting free snacks for no other reason than a glitch in the bank’s system. Nice.
