no idea, but if they are just doing 4% on the total, then i suppose i would just try the minimum amount and then scale-up. but again, it doesn't appear anyone here has done anything other than Pesos to USD and USD to Pesos, so i have no idea until some posts something about Zelle, crypto, etc. here.incredibly small amount?
Yes the same thing happened to me earlier this year. You delete your profile and then you have to wait 24 hours and it should delete all your information. Worked for me.This happened to me before. I'm not sure but WU was useless! Just delete your account and start all over. Or make up a new account with a new email address. That worked for me. You will lose your account history but not sure if you need that. It's the only thing that worked for me. Good luck!
Thank you! I did that and did a chat with WU and they said tomorrow it should be reset. I will post back.Yes the same thing happened to me earlier this year. You delete your profile and then you have to wait 24 hours and it should delete all your information. Worked for me.
Thank you everyone! I'm back in business. $200 US worth of pesos went today. 941.39 pesos to $1 US dollar for those curious. Strange as it said $23.99 for fee and then it's greyed out and said 63% off in green and finally amount is $8.99 to send the $200 which is what I always pay. I'm not sure why it says 63% off. Has WU really gotten that expensive to send in Argentina?Thank you! I did that and did a chat with WU and they said tomorrow it should be reset. I will post back.
Mine was working fine with WU transfers over the past few weeks. I travel a lot through South America and never had issues with WU in many different countries. But I'm having the same issue. But I'm stuck in this WU hellish black hole of not being able to send myself (or anyone else) money. I tried to get someone on the phone but I can't get a live person on the phone.I have used Western Union many times for many countries including Argentina and especially Brazil where I live now. Always worked like a charm. Now today I see this post about the free transfer so I tried to send to my friend for a Christmas gift and it won't go through. Anyone have any advice? I was using Safari but changed to Chrome and same issue. Cleared my history and emptied the cache. I tried to change the bank from my Chase to my Wells Fargo. Still won't work. I normally don't pay with credit card as it's a cash advance fee when you pay with credit card but I tried that too with no success.
I tried to call WU but I can't get a live person on the phone! My bank said they don't see WU tried to charge it. Anyone have this happen to them?
It seems like I'm in a black hole!
It SHOULD affect things for you but most likely they will not. What did the manager say?I have a question. It may be silly but I figured you expats would know as it seems like many are permanent-tourists. I got stuck here during COVID and just stayed here. I should have left but I heard that it's better to overstay vs. border runs to Uruguay. I have been here for years and finally have to go back to the UK because my passport and a few other ID's are expiring. Also, to visit mum and dad.
Will my overstay affect Western Union payments at all? They always scan my passport into the computer and today they looked at me funny. A manager came over. I about had a heart attack. Anyone know?
Yep. I've always maintained that I think the blue rate will go back up after the end of this month. No one knows for sure but at the end of the year people always need more pesos. It will be interesting to see but I'd guess the blue dollar will start going up.If CCL is going up , WU will go up but its always hard to work out the direct correlation.
FYI. I sent my friend a Western Union this morning and I still got the 1,060.85 rate. I would think the rate will go up as the CCL on friday closed at $1,140. Western Union rate isn't the CCL rate but typically I noticed when CCL goes up so does WU. They usually update to be closer to the CCL rate usually late in the day I've found.
Yes I get same rate today at WU.Another data point. Today I sent a western union to myself and I got 1,091.50 rate for each $1 USD.
