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)

Some "activist" WalMart Money Center managers don't follow the store's own rules. Now some will make you fill out a form for any multiple transactions adding up to $3K or more (like multiple money orders), even if it's not for cash. Though the form clearly says otherwise (says only for cash transactions). So, from now on, we're back down to below $3K. Just means more visits to WalMart.
If you're in the financing or e-commerce business, and need capital to grow, we should talk...

No one needs his personal info (SS, DOB, etc.) on WalMart's desk where all the dumb employees have access to it.

Actually, a bunch of them are students who work there part time. One was studying medicine. never judge a person by its job or color. Remember that movie, pursuit of happiness! I know people aren't so well versed in movies here, but if you haven't seen it, use some of your amazon video credit  :). It's very worth it. Most DDF'ers are highly judgmental; perhaps, a movie like this will break some barriers. Hey, you gotta start somewhere  :)

HaHa! I wish they were "all" dumb, it would've been much easier load BB/Serve  :)

I was actually wrong, dumb people seeing it is not a problem, the problem is with the "smart" ones (like the one who asked me today to see the "debit card" I wanna load from) who know the value of ID info.

IMHo it has nothing to so with intelligence. The worst ones are the older ones who take their job way too seriously. I always go for a young teen, instead of the adult. Have been pretty successful in My profiling, btw

I hear. BTW the one who asked me today to see the "debit card" was a teen ( as grandfather always said א יעדער כלל האט א יוצא מן הכלל) but I always try to avoid the ones who look studious at their job and go to the sloppy ones

The money place on Kingston and empire in crown heights has money orders. Do they take debit card? More importantly will they take gift cards?
