Blue rate jumped up today to 1,360 to $1. I sent myself a WU today as I saw that I had a no fee transfer. I got 1,302.09 so WU rate also is going up. Woo hoo.

WU is trailing behind but probably will catch up. You got a bit better rate than I did but I needed the funds. I got 1344.50. I charged my Visa card today and got 1,318.Just sent myself a payment today. 1,388 pesos to $1 USD. Great rate but looks like it will go higher. MEP hit 1,425 today and blue dollar too!
Exactly correct. Been interesting watching the sudden price changes and volatility lately.Remember that WU rate is more related to the MEP Rate than the Blue Rate
I heard there was an outage this morning.Anyone else having issues with sending/receiving Western Union? I tried this morning and the system was down.
Same thing happened to me. Try logging out of your account and then logging back in. I did that and it went down to $5.99 again which is what I pay for sending $100.Is anyone else seeing higher rates for WU transfers? I was paying about $5.99 to send $100 but today it jumped up to $13.99 to send $100! And it is showing that it is normally $17.99 so showing a discount. It was never this high before. Anyone else seeing this? Sending to my girlfriend's mum who we have sent to in the past.
Same thing happens to me once in a while. I completely log out of my WU account and try again and it discounts. Try sending it from the list of frequently sent recipients for a quick resend in the same amount and it usually goes back to the lower price.Same thing happened to me.

Yes Moneygram was out here in Mexico too. I didn't know this was why it didn't work. I used WU but the fee was very high. I will try logging out and seeing if the fee goes down.Same thing happens to me once in a while. I completely log out of my WU account and try again and it discounts.

Also, Moneygram seems like it's back online. It went down for a cybersecurity issue.
