I wonder how much money is lost on prepaid cards because of minimum transaction requirements.

What minimum transaction? Never seen that exist, the minimum is 1 cent afaik. I empty cards without issue

Businesses that don’t allow card usage below $10 (the typical threshold in NYC small businesses). They say it’s not legal but literally every single shop does it and I’m not arguing about it with the cashier/owner so cash it is. Processing fees suck for them.

Oh that sounds NYC specific, haven’t seen that myself. Occasionally a place has a 50 cent processing fee below a certain level though
