Cash App may refund money if you're scammed, but it's not guaranteed, especially if you authorized the payment; your best chance is to report it immediately within the app, dispute the transaction with Cash App Support, and contact your bank for a chargeback, as completed Cash App payments are often treated like cash. Faster reporting, providing evidence, and involving your bank or credit card company significantly increase your chances of recovery, though unauthorized transactions (like a hacked account) have better reversal odds than scams where you willingly send money.

For the Cash Card, daily ATM/spending limits are around $1,000 (or $7,000 for some users), with weekly/monthly limits also applying, while verified accounts have higher spending limits on the card, around $7,000/day.
