Help needed from my CM friends to understand this process please.
Lucky Club approved my w/d on 7/11 via wire transfer but has now informed me that their processor is unable to complete the transfer.
Since I have already waited 2 weeks, they are suggesting that I take the money via Western Union rather than wait any longer than I have already.
I have never done Western Union for any reason in past. I checked for WU locations locally and there are a ton of gas stations, check cashing places, and then it also list a mainstream regular bank (US Bank) as a WU location.
1. Where do you recommend I go to get my funds - I kind of hate to go to a gas station and talk to some 16 year old part-time employee?
2. I assume they will send me some type of transaction number or receipt to use to "claim" my money?
3. Will they give me cash or a check at the WU outlet? I am thinking it will maybe be a money order payable to me? But not sure...
4. Between gas stations, check cashing joints and a bank ---- I much prefer a bank, but will they ask questions? I don't have a US bank account but obviously have accounts at other financial institutions, but none of my regular banks or credit unions show up as a WU location
I did a search of WU w/d but it was all fairly old stuff so that's why I am asking for current info on what I can expect. Lucky Club said there wouldn't be any additional fees incurred by this method. Amount is $2,500.
Anything else I should know that I haven't anticipated enough to ask?
Thanks to all for any help.
