I tried setting it up online and it was a real hassle. Seemed like they already had my life story on file - what places I lived, what cars I had, etc. And even after all that, I still could not get it to send any money. Going to an agent was a lot easier.
Yeah, I was able to send some decent cash amounts with Moneygram. They do track each transfer by your phone number but I have not had any problems yet like with WU. Good to enjoy this while it lasts I guess.
Oh yes the will...my brother is blacklisted after sending 5k for to his book for 3 straight days. He wanted to have 15k to wager in his account and they flagged him after he sent the 3rd 5k
I sent $2500 to fulltilt poker about 2 months ago. All in one transaction that cost I believe $13.95.
I have also received $1500 on 3 seperate occassions via moneygram. It arrived within 24 hours each time. Now i went to Walmart since they always have the cash on hand. Sometimes if you want more than $1000, the smaller moneygram outlets will give you a check. But Walmart will give you the cash if it is lower than $5000 or so.
If you send over $1000, you have to show a DL. I had to show my DL each time I sent over $1000 at least
