Western Union money transfer

[Delaluz26]

Shows expired for me also.

MG has a rate of 282 today VS wu 271.

Is there a code to use for MG or do we just have to pay a fee? I've never tried it (and apologies if this is covered in another post).

It was "GECO" I believe, but it did not work for me this morning.

Bank to bank transfers are free and the debit card transfer to bank is 1.99 so I never worried about a code.

Anyone know where to look for new WU promo code?

Those "stores" are the casas de cambio. They are legal. Don't go there, unless you like losing lots of your hard earned money. Didn't you notice that they give you less than half of what Western Union gives you? You really, really don't want to go there. Don't use an ATM with your USA credit or debit card, either.

Nobody is going to get rid of the street vendors. And you don't want them to. If for some reason you can't use Western Union, you want to go to them. Even the very worst of them will give you double what those "stores" are giving you. And you won't have to be bothered with any government paperwork. When you go to them, bring new, crisp 100 dollar bills if you have them. Nobody here wants bills that aren't new and nobody wants less than hundreds, though they'll probably take them for a lower price. And if possible, don't carry too much cash at one time.

The store that I mentioned does give me the Blue Dollar rate which is why I do go to that store. I have stopped in one store on Florida/Lavalle? and they were only offering the Official rate. Which is why I was asking about who owns / operates those stores(the one that gives the blue rate). If they are sponsored by some government agency I would have thought that they would want to direct all USD to them.
When I have used WU I feel like a bank robber with the bands of cash that I am handed. I bring a jacket with many zippered pockets.

WU promo code GECO not working. Is there another?

Some Casas de Cambio and Pago Facil facilities list outside the Official dollar Rate, But once inside at the window, you get the Blue Rate..!

That's really strange.

Thanks, Rich One. That's pretty far from me, but the doctor says I have to do a lot of walking after my heart bypass surgery, so maybe I'll get there.
