Could someone spot me first, and I will pay them back in cash or wire transfer as soon as I'm in town.
Should there be a comma after transfer?

If you want to emphasize " as soon as I'm in town", meaning the comma is optional.

I see no reason for a comma there.

I think the difference can be seen in speech.

You can't see a comma in speech. You can hear a pause. But I see no reason for a pause there either.
