Sending Money MONEYGRAM OR WESTERN UNION, PLEASE MAKE SURE....

Journeyman · Oct 29, 2005

You KNOW the limits on the other end the book can take....for the 2nd time this year I sent money only to be told AFTER i sent it that it was over their limit....

So just a reminder to ASK and make sure you are not over their limit, let them know ahead of time what you intend to send, it will save you a HUGE headache and 2 hours sitting on hold trying to split up the transaction...

Games haven't even started today and I feel like I've already been through hell this morning.

:sad3:

Again with the Western Union bullshit J'man?

Those fuckers are unbelieveable!!

It was Money Gram...books fault though, I think when you call to get a name they should tell you about the limits they can take on one name....

Since it was Money Gram I thought it would be easier...and it was until I found out the limit.

Just trying to save someone a two hour headache...

I guess his location "The Oriole Way" might just be in Baltimore, MD and so get no NETeller service.

thats correct, limited ability in Md to use Neteller...

Otherwise this MoneyGram looks like a nice alternative..

If I were you, I'd go to a check cashing place and buy one of their Visa reloadable cards. The one that you can load for up to $2500 costs 19.95 initially and reloads for $2 a pop. You even get a card that has your name on it.

They also sell a Gift Card which can be loaded for up to $250 for $4.95. Every sportsbook or poker room accepts these in seconds. They are also good to have if you're worried about identity theft or credit card fraud of your own card while making a purchase on the net. If you are going to use the gift card you get on the net to their site and register the card in your name. Takes minutes and you're in!
