i would imagine it would be better having some data over none though?
the main thing that got me thinking about this really, was that if we
got the ability to tag this out there, could we then for example
convince link atm to use osm for their data? i figured it was best only
contacting them after we got a consensus on tagging this. the cashback
thing would make sense though right? that's relatively constant. For the
ATMs do you think it would be better if we got a vote on it?

i can confirm this to be the case. where i work the cashback

ATMs have a finite capacity. Which means that ATMs which serve two or
more denominations may run out of one
denomination before the others. So £5 notes can stop suddenly because
they run out. However, a lot of the ATMs in this
part of the world switched from £5/£10 to £10/£20 because inflation
meant that average amount withdrawn had increased
to the point they needed to be refilled too frequently. The
£5/£10/£20 machines are rare and tend to be at banks, where
they can be refilled more quickly.
The problem with mapping denominations is not that a machine may run
out of one denomination, that's a temporary
thing. The problem is that a £5/£10 machine may be upgraded or
replaced to dispense £10/£20. Or a £10/£20 may
be changed to £20/£50. How often that happens depends upon the rate
of inflation in that part of the world. It's
definitely useful to know, but the information may go stale too
quickly and be verified/remapped too infrequently. I'm
in two minds about the utility of mapping this.
however people still often request cashback due to the fact it
saves the extra trip (and the closest ATM is difficult to
troubleshoot if it goes down
There is one shop where I specifically request cashback even though it
has an ATM mounted in the wall outside. My
bank has a loyalty scheme whereby the online banking system presents
me with discounts at certain shops (as a way
of encouraging people to use the online banking). Every time this
shop appears I use it. And then get 5% off my
payment for electricity top-up, phone top-up, mains water charges, gas
bill and cashback. I wouldn't use that shop for
any other thing as it's a convenience store and more expensive than
the local supermarket. But whenever I can get £50
cashback for £47.50 and cheaper gas, electricity and mains water, I
leap at the chance. Names intentionally
withheld because if everyone catches on that store brand will withdraw
from the deal. :)
