Rachael's money card ranges from $1,000 -> $10,000. The rules dont specifically state that these are hard caps, and It was stated in a post by Kevin that if you lose/spend your last $1,000 just move the marker off the card to signify this.

The question that came ip in our game is I had the plot that makes me gain baggage depending on wether I gain/lose money as well as play light cards/have dark cards played on me. Couple questions regarding this scenario.

1) If the player is currently at $10,000 and a card effect states she "gains X dollars" does that trigger the good baggage, even though the card wont track anything higher than $10,000. (we played this is it triggers the effect, but the marker stays at $10,000.)

2) Same questionj, different direction. If you are currently at $0 (as stated by Kevin is possible) and a card effect states you "lose" money, would that trigger the bad baggage.

3) If a Dark card is played on Rachael that causes her to lose money, she would gain 2 bad baggage in this scenero (1 for the Dark card, and 1 for the loss of money) We played it this way, im hoping for some confirmation.

We hit two of these in our first game. We decided if she had no money to lose, she didn't get the bad baggage. Came to the same decision as you on #3.

I think they're all on a (well-deserved) holiday.

You played it right.

No. You don't have any money to lose. In the previous example, you had money to gain but the money card caps your current bank account. As such you gain money, but it does not increase. If you don't have any money, you can't lose any.

My ruling would be that she gains one bad baggage.

I've been having the same problems with Rachel. In the game I played, very few Dark Cards were played, and so I never encountered money loss from cards, therefore I figured that "losing money" included spending it on cyberware. It is somewhat troublesome that a canny (and lucky) player who is able to keep his money indicator buried at $10,000.00 gains no rewards for increasing it further.
