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)

If you're going to all the trouble to give MOs to friends, why not change the amount so it's not always $998 being deposited into your account? Whether it's a personal check or a MO, who ever gets and deposits the same exact amount?

Giving different friends the exact same amount can be a red flag? So I gave each friend only time a  MO with the exact same amount.

It's not what you give your friends but what they give you and what you deposit into your account. It sounded like you were making deposits  with a MO into your bank of $998. Then you would give your friends a MO for that amount and they would write you a check for the same amount. Thus you have MOs and checks being deposited for $998 each.

So here are some of the ways I'm liquidating MO:
Rent
Giving my friends, siblings MO for $998 they in return give me a check.
Deposit MO $998 into my personal apple bank account and my business citi bank account, ive done the deposits only one time, is it safe to deposit once a month $998?.

Any other ideas to liquidate Money Orders?.

Just dump $10K+ into the bank each time so it doesn't look like you're structuring.   Have multiple checking accounts.  If one shuts you down,  just move on.

If you go through the history of ms u will see many many lucrative and now dead methods. Folks have become very wary of sharing details in person Blix forums, especially DDFers after the stories of people going to target and abusing both the method and employees, being unreasonable, making demands, coming with dozens of cards, etc

+1000

People here are too geographically crowded, and don't have a great track record at being polite and discreet.

People that put no work into something feel no incentive to keep it alive, have no concept of the fragility of something, and have no respect for the warnings of those they learnt from.

The entitlement amongst some in dealing with CSRs is a reason to stay far away from them with anything sensitive.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
