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)

First we needed a thread that it was alive.. LOL
Where have you been? This was the go to method for most especially in areas where other retailers stopped allowing prepaids, and other avenues were way more expensive. I guess USPS wasn’t happy with people running 30-40k through at a time...

I heard they recently lost a valuable employee in that field, hopefully it won't be hardcoded properly.

Might not get people’s attention until after they stock up on OV they can’t unload. This title will hopefully get noticed. “every type of gc” that has been widely used at USPS is confirmed blocked. Good enough?

My understanding was, that said employee was preventing the hard coding

Reports are rolling in nationwide. No success stories yet. I’ll let others do the legwork. Memo went out a couple day ago saying they were in the process of hard coding and now it’s hard coded. Unlikely it’s BIN specific

Seems like they're automatically coding as credit when you swipe them and the system obviously doesn't allow credit for MO's.

I don't think you get my reference, but it was facetious in nature.

There has got to be some sort of something that codes as debit instead of credit, and when that is figured out, it will probably not last long.

If people are smart they won't share that information if they do figure it out.
