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)

So, any risk of opening an account at a local bank, depositing till shut down and moving to the next bank?
Were you blacklisted from that bank?

It'll take a while to run out of banks.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It will take me a really long time to run out of banks, in the Chicago area, there are tons of small banks, + online banks. from your responses its mashma there is no risk, except running out of banks, which is no worse then not playing the game at all. correct?

At some point your chex system will look pretty bad, and you might have a hard time opening bank account.
Life is as good as you make it...

Why not just use credit unions? They would love your business.

Anyone have experience getting a bank account shut down for depositing to many money orders?
Does it go on your record somewhere? any federal money laundering database or something?
Yes, no and no.
Won't banks that participate with chexsystems (most of the major ones) report anytime they close for suspicious activity?

I don't know about that. MO's come with their own issues. It's not a dream solution.

Are there any dream solutions besides the short-lived RB? I think most MS techniques have their own issues and those that don't have a short life.
