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)

Wouldn't that be something you would ask the cashier wherever you're buying the MO? CMIIW you can only get MO up to $999 anyway.
have you ever even tried?

Max MO is $500, but you can buy two in one shot using 5 $200 gc's.

Doesn't make any sense. What happens if you need to pay for 2 or 3 things?

I went to WM in Morristown NJ to try to buy a MO with my one vanilla visa Gc. I asked the casier if I can pay with debit and she said sure! I tried swiping and putting in my pin and it was denied. She said that the system is denying it because it's coming up as credit. So we we did the process specifically through the debit card options and again it was denied. Anyone know why? Are there some WM that deny gc for MO?

Correct. Amex doesn't assign a PIN, so its impossible to do any pin-enabled transactions.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Yes you need a PIN.  Any MetaBank card should be fine.

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.
