Getting Dollars For Rent - Xoom or WesternU?

[AndrewWoodward]

THe thing is that we know it illegal to make us pay in dollars...but the fact is that we want our apartment, and if we dont do as they want, then they will get someone else who will pay in dollars/the "blue rate" (I think thats what its called).

We are gonna use Xoom after all...does anyone know if you use a credit card to fund the transaction will it show up as a cash advance on a Chase credit card or just as a normal credit purchase?

Xoom won't get you dollars. Are you just trying to get a better exchange rate? You're still going to end up with pesos... Be careful here...
