WU seem to me a better solution than others being imposed to us!

Damn good reasons!

hmm well Western Union has a bad rep since the Nigerian scams and other abuses, but ............. yes their card seems to be an option, it is a brand and yes I would trust them above all others offered now.
But on the other hand, I could be mistaken.

ThumbLord · 10-17-2010, 03:53 PM

aha ok, limitations are the big issue I am sure.
but for smaller affiliates I could work?

u-Bob · 10-17-2010, 03:55 PM

Us only?

why not go with nigerian gold card?

99% of affiliates aren't making anywhere near $500 a day. If you're making that kind of money get a wire transfer.

Western Union was founded in 1851, I'd trust them more than average bank. And any popular system has abusers too, but these are not an issue, but other things(like limitations and fees).

They are ...

I had to send money to Russia ... client said that 35.00 was the fee fro Canada, and on the site, it really looks like that.
But once you iniated the process, for 1K the wire fees were 95.00 or so ... near 10% ...
Did it from my bank : $ 30.00 fror $2100.00

CPimp · 10-18-2010, 12:49 AM

WU seems to charge a fee that's scaled based on the amount sent. I sent $400 one time, paid $40 to do it (money in minutes). THen I sent I think 540 and it cost $47.00

blonda80 · 10-18-2010, 01:32 AM

I hate Western Union. Huge fees, bad site etc etc etc

Ignatius O'Reilly · 10-18-2010, 05:59 AM

Western Union is quite the scam. Not only do they charge the sender a percentage, they also charge the recipient. How? If you wire 1,000 USD to say Germany, the recipient receives the amount in Euros but at a very unfavorable exchange rate as set by WU.

dicksman42 · 10-18-2010, 06:10 AM

WU does have limitations,but one thing you can be sure of....they won't run off with your ends and you will know where your money is.Can't have everything.
