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)

Open additional cardholder in their name?
What does that mean, "you figured"?! Am I that uneducated that it is evident in my posts?!  :o
   
Why don't u think that's what I wanted to know? Someone owes me 15k spent on my amex, just trying to figure out the best way to pay my amex card with it

best bank to deposit MO's? not talking about structuring/reporting issues but rather which banks won't care as much.

IIRC people were shut down by chase from MO deposits? because that would be my go to bank as i push into this.

Never do anything evenly remotely risky with chase bank accounts if you value your Chase CC's at all.

A bank you don't mind being chucked from. If you have older weathered accounts by the bank, all the better.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

But then you'd probably mind being chucked, no?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but it sounds like you guys may know the answer.
Since I got my answer here last time, I figured I'll ask another question more or less on the same topic. Is a business checking account any less susceptible to an SAR than a personal account, If I'm depositing 10k+ checks? Misvara, I would think that there is less chances because businesses are more the type to be cashing 10k+ checks...

Do things like CPC help or is it beyond that?

tens of thousands

Tens of thousands of individual MO's?  Or tens of thousands of dollars worth of MO's?
