Western union with a CC

[trying123]

If I want to send someone in us 20,000. Western union is charging me 148$ the points il make is around 320 $ so it should b worth it instead of giving the Guy a wire transfer or a chase person to person, but my only fair is tht it would b marked as a cash advance on my bill,
Can any one here confirm from experience, 
If no C A charge on card maybe it can b a new mint deal (tht ill leave to Dan )
My point isn't working the system cuz I gotta pay the Guy I'm just hungry for some extra $/points

[HelpMe]

How do you figure sending 20k cost only 148?

Are you sure it's 20k? It seems like a very high limit for s/o new. My max to send was 3k w/ a very high fee.

High limit by CC or by western
This is wht I did I down loded the western app on Android and did estimate price and thts wht I got

By the way my op was if it will b charged on my CC as cash advance ?

Don't try w/ Citi.
Try a few dollars on a different card and see how it processes.

Have u ever tried sending with western via CC?  If yes check ur statement Pls

And it doesn't pay to send a few dollars cuz they charge me same 150 service charge even if I send smaller amount

Send a few dollars locally.. . it'll probably cost about $8.

You can have some cc companies lower the cash advance limit to 0. Doesn't always work, but worth a try

Don't try w/ Citi.

+1 Citi + financial transactions = lethal cocktail.

I don't think other banks will confirm the transaction if it exceeds the CA limit, but I may be wrong.

Thts wht says on there mobile app
But once I signed in I just found out tht western giving me a 2500 limit to begin with and based on transaction history they up it

Has anyone used Western Unon recently? Does it post as a CA?

[joe_miami]

Without a doubt. Western Union is the very definition of a CA.
