Amscot did not allow me to get a cash advance because I did not have my current pay stub on me but allowed someone else to get one who was in the same situation. I have gotten cash advances with Amscot before and have always paid them back as agreed. I was not claiming to make a crazy amount of money or even asking to borrow a lot but I was still refused. At Amscot the rules only apply to certain people when they feel like applying them. They refused me because that 's what they felt like doing at the time. Rules should apply to EVERYONE or else it should n't be a rule.
