After Bratton received 20 "Trump Collection" cards in October 2023, eager for her payout, she tried to use them to withdraw some of the promised cash from a local ATM.

She tried several other ATMs, including one operated by Bank Of America.
Bank Of America, the United States' second-largest bank, was among the institutions most frequently mentioned in the false ads as locations where purchasers could use their "Trump" cards to withdraw money.

Asked whether there was any way the cards could be turned into cash from his institution, Halldin was brief: "No."
