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)

Thanks guy with 44 posts, i don't think the guy with 10k+ needed your haskama  ::)

Visa non vanilla gift card is simplest. $206.95 from staples, but over a thousand UR points if your trying to MS for chase ink. Otherwise, you're gonna have to swallow the fee. I haven't seen non vanilla gc's for over $200.

Actually this is incorrect. Amex prepaid cards all have PINS, but are not debit. Only visa and MC work GC's or prepaids, practically all of which either have a PIN or have the ability to have a PIN added, work.

Welcome to the forums. From a different thread but applies here.


MS requires some sweat equity. I'm sure not gonna share all my equity  in exchange for a guaranteed diminishment of those opportunities. Call me selfish. Put in the work and you'll find them yourself. Same as MO.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Correct. Amex doesn't assign a PIN, so its impossible to do any pin-enabled transactions.
Some Amex cards do have PINS and they still will not work.
I just found a new supply of forks!

For the Floridian chevra; Winn Dixie is starting to clamp down on gc purchase of money orders. The're saying you're name needs to be on it. Publix is limiting you to 2 swipes a day..whats left..Walmart?
