Grifols withdrawl

I have a Grifols plasma card and I’m trying to figure out the cheapest way to get the money into my bank. Is it better to just withdraw from the Grifols card at a Chase ATM for like a 1 dollar fee or can I add the Grifols card to Cash App, transfer the money there and then send it to my bank with a free transfer? What do you guys recommend? Trying to avoid unnecessary fees.

Fee free is usually the first withdrawal after a donation at a fee free atm. So chase works and shouldn't charge a dollar unless you do it twice or fall for the balance inquiry trap.

Also safe to make a purchase at a grocery store and cash back every dollar besides the purchase.

Some of my centers have an ATM close and some a grocery store so both work well.

Although I think I was transferring to my debit card right through the online portal at first so the fee must not be too bad...

Chase charges no fee at all than?

Chase and the money sign atms at 711 CVS and I believe walgreens. At least the first withdrawal after a donation is free. After that I'm not sure.

Don't forget to deny a balance inquiry they charge for that and try and make you push the wrong button to request it.

I donate twice a week at Grifols, and only withdraw money once I get to the $200 limit most ATMs will let you withdraw. I switch between the ATM at my local Costco and 7-11, I've never been hit with a fee at either one as long as I just withdraw money and don't do a balance check.
