    Western Union money transfer

    That's exactly why I tried WISE and TapTapSend, it's good to have a backup way to transfer funds. I also did a direct wire transfer of USA $$$ from CitiBank in the USA to my Santander USA $$$ account, but factoring in the fees, WU is a better deal. Again, it's nice to have backup options...

    Western Union money transfer

    I didn't know you could do that, I'll ask AI how to do it! Thanks for the suggestion! I'm just worried I'll turn it off and not be able to turn it back on, the discounts code have saved me approx $840 USA in transfer fees over the last 2 years!

    Western Union money transfer

    I could never get the debit card option to work for me with WU, and just gave up trying, using the bank transfer option that usually takes 8 days, but sometimes only 2 or 3 and once even the next day. So I just lived with the 8 day transfer. Of course, an unexpected expense came up and I...

    Thanks for the link to the psyllium husk powder. I'll also try looking for it or something similar at New Garden!

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    I had no idea chia seeds were calorie dense! They're seeds! I never thought they'd have any calories. I give my husband 2 teaspoons of Metamucil mixed in apple juice, then two teaspoons of Chia seeds mixed in apple juice. I was told to wait 10-15 minutes for the Chia seeds to absorb liquid...

    I just tried to order Metamucil from Amazon and every choice I looked at said they wouldn't ship to Argentina. Do you have an Amazon link you used recently? Thanks!

    Western Union money transfer

    I did a WU transfer on April 20. I loaded the www.capitalone.com chrome extension and have received a good discount on my last several transfers. The app is a little annoying because it pops up when you visit commercial sites that sell things, but it's worth it to get the consistently good...

    Wallbit - Santander - Transferring USA dollars into my Santander USA dollar account

    Great, so it appears this is not a difficult process any longer. What is code A07? Did you initiate this yourself using the Santander website, or did you need to talk to a live person at a branch to do a wire transfer?

    Wallbit - Santander - Transferring USA dollars into my Santander USA dollar account

    I was on instagram when I saw an ad for Wallbit.io a virtual bank that is working with Santander bank to make it easy to transfer USA dollars into your Santander USA dollar account. I've been using Western Union to transfer money here, and it gets converted into ARG pesos on the Santander end...

    Western Union money transfer

    Thanks for this tip! I heard there was a Santander fee to receive USA $$ into your Santander USA account. I looked into my USA CitiBank and a wire transfer to Argentina in USA dollars was only $25, which I thought reasonable. However when I input my Santander information into CitiBank it only...

    Western Union money transfer

    I've been using Western Union exclusively for over a year as it offers the best rate compared with Wise or Xoom, even factoring in the fee. I also loaded a promotional code finder from https://capitaloneshopping.com/ which has saved me a lot on my last 3 transfers ($225 USA!). I'm using Chrome...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    Thanks for the suggestion of a local fiber product, that does sound very similar to what Metamucil does. I'm going to ask my medica clinica their opinion if it will keep his system working properly. We've found a good balance of using Metamucil and two spoons of chia seeds, and this looks like...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    I just compared Amazon.com and MercadoLibre, the orders for Metamucil on Mercado Libre are twice the cost of Amazon, even with the shipping costs. I haven't done an international order with Amazon for awhile, maybe Amazon doesn't show you the import tax until you order it and that could be the...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    I'm running out of Metamucil for my husband, he really needs it as some of his medications cause binding. I checked MercadoLibre and all the Metamucil orders are from international companies. I did order a couple items from their international deliveries and it worked fine, although of course...
