What happened to the Presto Debit/Cash shops?

October 15, 2025 07:44PM
I know these tend to come and go in waves, but I haven't seen any pop up on P for quite some time. Or maybe they just aren't in my area? Curious if anyone is still seeing these.

Edit: the second I posted this I realized it is in the wrong category. But I don't see any way to delete it so I can repost? Suggestions welcomed.

I haven't seen them in a while either,. I enjoy finding fun new places to eat with my husband.

I think the debit card company finally gave up. And more small businesses are posting the extra surcharges and dual pricing.

I agree that it was pointless. They were focused on the little guys, but now even huge multi-million dollar businesses are posting, "3% service charge for all card transactions."

Ha! One just popped up after many, many months. A salon. Not for me.

OMG! My map is covered in red pins! It's daunting. Reimbursement is now $7. Not all need to be done.

$7 barely covers fuel to leave my driveway…

Pay is $10 but considering the rate of rejection (including non-reimbursement), time involved to scout an acceptable purchase and get pics, I'm not interested yet.

There are three of them in about an hour's drive from me. Two are restaurants and one is a salon. I wanted to do the restaurant ones, but the reviews of the restaurants are terrible. The salon looks weird and only reimburses $7, but the prices for the services are much higher. I'm also unsure how I'm supposed to pay cash and card for the same service unless I brought a friend.

Salons have a higher reimbursement.

Take a friend and both get a pedicure, one cash/one card. At least a bit is covered.
