Topic Wiki

Ill spell it out for the feeble.
You dont call up and ask if they take Visa gift cards for  a money order.
You dont call up and ask if they take Mastercard gc for a MO
You dont flippin call!


You go into a store and ask for an MO and she says ok its, XXX.XX say no p, take out your debit card and swipe. If the rep says no debits then apologize and leave. If she says lemme see that is that a gc say NO ITS A DEBIT. if she asks wheres your name you say (among many other options to think of) the permanent one is on the way and im using the temp one until i receive it. If you need to swipe more than once, its ok to have multiple debits (for those who are lacking in common sense). But be nonchalant dont be in your face about it to the rep. Reps want to feel they're in charge, its natural for a minimum paid employees...




I think this should give the basics on how to get a MO if you find a place.... this is not rocket science. But it seems like it is to some.... Where to cash out GCs for MO:

Where                                       Which gift card                                   Fee                                     max MO amount                                   

Service desk @ Wal-Mart                  MVD,  Visa from Meta bank,                                  70 cents                                           $1000
                                                  chase (phased out)                                                                                      $1000   
                                                     
Rite Aid                                                                                                 $0.89                                          $500
       
"HaNesher HaGadol"                            One Vanilla                                 .52                                          $500 max     
meijer-69 cents up to $1000-most stores
NOTES:
MVD charges 50 cents per transaction so ask for MO of card amount- (fee+ 50 cents) eg @WM ask for 498.80 on MO (or cover $1.20 some other way)

Memo does not say its hard coded. Its on the clerk to stop the transaction.


Not yet but they will be. Per the memo:
"Updates preventing these types of transactions are being pushed to all RSS terminals soon."

+1. Once they hard code it, it'll take 45 minutes to figure out which ones still work.

That will be the day when the USPS starts investing in IT.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Mmmhmmmm. The day USPS invests in anything worthwhile, will be when hell freezes over. I've stood in line there with no employees in sight for 15 minutes before. I'm surprised those places actually function.

Oh gosh, I hope you didn't think I was only waiting 15min. That was just how long I stood there waiting for, even just 1 employee, to return to their post, so that I could wait the hour until it was my turn.

Yeah we know. They lost a simple letter the other day sent Priority signature required. Never even made it out of the bin.

The one that has $25,000 hanging on its delivery. Pretty important ONE.

USPS MO IS DEAD
« Reply #1238 on: November 03, 2017, 11:34:15 AM »
USPS is apparently dead for all prepaid debit>MO nationwide. Hard coded. Thought this deserved its own thread for those who would miss this and load up on prepaid without a means to liquidate.
