you guys are luck in the states, you can withdraw to CC. i have the WU card that i added to my real buying account.

I got one of the WU cards they sent it to me out of the blue never asked for it but it can be loaded by ACH as well as u can have WU payments posted to it.

[davevjr]

what about the deposits in mismatched names issue?

Time for me to take a trip to WU and see what servies offered in Canada...

I would also like to know this? and how long does the card takes to come?


it says:
* The Western Union MoneyWise™ Prepaid MasterCard and the Gold Card Prepaid MasterCard are issued by MetaBank

so this scares me since I know most MetaBank cards dont work with mismatched names.

i have used cards ghost by metabank and gotten stealth deposits on at least 1 but not others.

Western union prepaid cards and metro pcs prepaid cards don't accept incoming paypal deposits. I tried this a few months ago and they never came through. I called customer service and they said it should world, but the deposits never came through. Till now I have not used them anymore. Maybe they work now for 2012, but I could not confirm that information.

[davevjr]

any idea as to wether they work on amazon and/or half.com

Along the same lines, has anyone been using the WU MoneyWise card to regularly receive transfers? I usually just have customers SWIFT funds to me, but in some cases, I prefer that they don't know my banking info. and have been using Money Gram and Western Union for them to send me funds. It'd be great if I could just have them send to a MoneyWise card (would have to fly back stateside to pick one up I think).

Didn't work for me. This was over a year ago.

I just got my WU card in the mail. There's direct deposit info right on the papers they sent me. I just entered them into PP but it's gonna take 2 days to verify the info due to the 2 small deposits. Let's see how it goes.

turbo, did the western union card work? were the 2 small deposits from paypal deposited into the account? thx

[turbo1point3]

The quick answer is no. Basically they say I CAN use the WU account, but I'd have to fax them drivers license, bank statement showing the 2 small deposits and some other crap.
I ended up going to my local Cha$e bank and added 2 new checkings.
By the way, Netspend doesn't work either. Same results.

I got the initial ghost deposits, then nothing else. They sent the money back after that.

[subzero9000]

so the ghost deposits went through. so you can now confirm the small paypal deposits to remove the $500 withdrawal limit?
