Thread Title: "Alternate Payment Method?"
(no avatar) I recently made some armor for someone in the SCA and they sent payment to me through Wal-Mart's MoneyGram. I am probably the last person to find out about this form of money transfer, but could it be useful as a payment option on AA? Has anyone else heard about this? Not quite as convenient as PayPal, but there seems to be a Wal-Mart on every corner.........

(no avatar) No, you are not the last guy to hear about this, but maybe I am. More info please. I have gotten several WalMart money orders but I have never seen a WalMart money gram. How does it work? Is it available in all WalMart stores? How can we cash or deposit them? I"m always looking for a better way to move money and this might be something useful.

(no avatar) Kaycee, Please tell us more about how it works. Is there an on-line price sheet?

(no avatar) Well, here is the Moneygram info on Wal-Mart’s website:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catalog.gsp?cat=632044

I couldn’t find a transfer fee chart, but I called the local Wally World and they told me that it was $11.46 per each $200.00. That is 5.73%. Wow, kind of high priced if you ask me. The money is ready within 10 minutes but really!

Considering someone is giving them cash this seems excessive to me. But on the other hand, it makes the credit card 3% look more reasonable.
