I just did the Cuban Sandwich one without a problem. What should I be expecting?


USA had (has?) sanctions banning trading with Cuba.


I know. I'm just not sure why the OP is so confident that me putting "Cuban Sandwich" in the memo is going to get me flagged. Still good so far.


I did that with PayPal a couple of years ago and the transaction was flagged for review.


Not long ago there was a similar discussion here because

> PayPal is currently blocking all transactions containing the word “tardigrade”

And one of the top comments said:

> PayPal gets a list of banned strings from the Office of Foreign Asset controls. If any match those strings it's flagged for a review.
