My ATM wanted 2.50 to just check the balance...
I used my pin though so I would imagine that it would be active, but who knows... I have not even transferred the money yet, I wanted to make sure it worked..

$2.50??? HOLY CARP! that's 13 searches! i hope the fee at my credit union's atm isn't that high!

 

[Mouseless2Long]

That's why I opted for the "Pay Me Monthly" option.

I worked too hard for that money to give it away in fees to banks who ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED the money. OK . . . I'm down from my soapbox now.

 

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

What about income taxes? Do they send you a w2?

 

[Jenna45]

The worst part is I am not used to paying any fee's my regular bank does not charge any and reimburses me when I use another atm anywhere.. Now, I see how they do it

Just go to ChaCha.com and look in the lower right hand side for a link that says Get Started - Become a Guide. It will take you to the application.

PS- I sent you a PM

so after you fill out the initial form do they have to get back with you before you can test ?

I passed all of the hoopla to get hired, but now I am having trouble getting the Adobe Flash and ChaCha toolbar to download. When I try to install the Flash, it tells me that I need to shut off the Firefox. Does the Firefox always need to be up and running? I am such a dork when it comes to all this technical stuff!! I need an "Easy" button. I have been trying to figure out this whole ChaCha thing all night.....I really want to get the simulator test over with......but I need to install the dumb toolbar and Flash first. Maybe I just outta call it a night and try it with fresh eyes in the morning.

I think when the box comes up to install Flash Player, you will need to close FireFox during the installation. Once it's installed, just re-open FireFox and you should be OK.

As for the ATM fees - I was startled by that too because my credit union usually doesn't charge fees. I decided that I will only use it as a debit card and if I need cash, I'll just get cash back from a purchase. At least I'll GET something for my $2.50! I've also thought about setting up a transfer from my First IB account to my regular bank, but I haven't decided about that yet - not sure if there's a fee for that (but there probably is!). I'm too much of a control freak not to be able to get at my ChaCha money whenever I want it!

I'm in the process of doing this. I just switched over to Pay Me Now b/c of the fees involved in getting my $$...I was paid $210 (after they took their $2) and then I took $200 out of ATM, subtract the $2.50 fee (from Commerce where I'm not used to paying fees! LOL) so they have $7.50 of MY MONEY! Can't take it out of ATM, so I guess if I want my $$, I have to do this. I got the forms & there's no mention of a fee to transfer between bank accounts. I haven't sent them in yet though.

Anyone done this with First Internet bank yet?

 

[Wendy*Darling]

I never actually got the email that I passed but I logged in and my status had changed to "fully trained." I started getting queries and they are adding up in my account (in terms of $) so I guess it's safe to assume I passed! I've been ChaChaing for 3 days now and am at about $60. Not too bad. I am gradually getting faster so fingers crossed that this turns out to be a good thing.

So far it's been fun. I am amazed at how many people want to hear Chuck Norris jokes or statistics male anatomy or poop!

Last night I was asked for the best racial slur. I answered "the best racial slur is the one that goes unspoken." I also found a web site that has racist jokes with a twist, they are jokes insulting racists. I figured I'd use that when asked for one.

The ones from seemingly young girls asking about sex get to me too.

 

[neatokimmo]

I hate the little kid sex ones. I had one ask me how to do a hang job, I knew what they were asking but they were the ones that misspelled it. I told them it would be easier with a laser level and sent them to home depot

I am a little over 225 right now, the $75 week goal seems very doable. My work week starts on Friday so I am little behind since I didn't do any last night. But it seems easy enough and in just 4 short months I'll have our Disney trip paid for

I had my computer geek brother over today to help me install the Adobe Flash and Firefox.....finally, I was able to take the SIM test. How long does it take before you find out if you passed or not? I only had one really tough question that I just couldn't figure out in 3 minutes.....other than that, I think I did OK. What kind of cutesy things do you say besides just stating the answer? That was a tough one for me.....I would always run out of characters!

 

[Tink561]

I filled out the initial inquiry/application. How long does it take to get a response to that?

thanks!

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

Tink-
I received a response the same day. I don't know if you would get that, however, during the weekend.

 

[Wendy*Darling]

There have been many times when the Mom in me has wanted to say "I hope you have an unlimited texting plan or your parents are not going to be happy when the bill comes in!"

On test questions...I was active within 24 hours but it can take longer depending on the volume they are scoring.

 

[neatokimmo]

Happy ChaChaing! is nice and short and really quick to type

Is it just me or does everyone get a LOT of questions from Utah?

 

[MushyMushy]

Is it just me or does everyone get a LOT of questions from Utah?

That's because ChaCha premiered at the Sundance Film Festival! So we get a lot of questions from Utah and from Indiana, where it's based.
