Wondering about the world of Western Union. There are (at least?) 2 products that are allegedly loadable with a debit card. Wondering whether these could be used for GC liquidation?
Prepaid visa with a ton of fees https://www.westernunion.com/staticassets/R24-10.3.0/media/FINAL_GPR_with_Temp_PDF_8.25.23.pdfDigital wallet that seemingly has minimal fees, a $25 signup bonus, and seemingly a referral program out there for a $20 amazon gift card? Not sure whether the referral program is current or whether it can be stacked. Fee schedule: https://www.westernunion.com/staticassets/R23-07.01.1/media/Western_Union_Wallet_Terms_and_Conditions.pdfAnybody have any experience, thoughts, or alternatives?
Are you sure the wallet still exists/available for new sign ups?
When I go to https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/mobile-wallet-app.html and click on Download for iOS it takes me to Vigo Money Beta which requires a TestFlight app.
Also I use WU app but only see the prepaid card option not the wallet one.
EDITED TO ADD: looks like this has been spun off as the Vigo Money app
Interesting, thanks! Yeah, I can’t figure out how to get to the wallet app by clicking through from the homepage so I think that supports what you were saying.
In the description of the Vigo app, it does say you can fund with credit/debit but I didn’t see anything about loading, just transferring. It does say that it comes with a prepaid card, but I can’t figure out the terms of the card.
Thanks for checking and for the insight!
Received an email for a Class Action against Walgreens.

Wanted to share that I would advise against paying for an annual subscription to most services (Ex: Spotify, YT Premium, etc.) even if they offer you a discount. The reason for this is throughout the year you are likely to get offers on your Credit Cards that discount/make free the subscription for X amount of months. Over the past 2 years, I’ve found this always works out to be less than had I paid in full for the annual discount.
My specific case is YouTube Premium. Over the past year I’ve had offers for:
Blue Foundry: Received email but it doesn’t appear to be targeted.
Subject: Get rewarded for focusing on your wellness.
Receive a $10 Monthly Reimbursement Credit when you use your Blue Axis® Checking Debit Card at least 4 times and spend $100 or more during the months of January, February and/or March at CVS, Rite Aid and/or Walgreens.
Received another Citi Custom Cash Card targeted offer via email, today:
“Earn EXTRA ThankYou Points on eligible purchases through 03/31/2025.
Activate and earn an additional 1 point per $1 spent, up to 2,500 Points, on eligible purchases made with your card at:
• Gas stations
• Grocery stores
• Restaurants
• Retail shopping”
I’ve been receiving these offers fairly regularly, every 2-3 months.
I received the following for my Citi AAdvantage for ONLINE purchases.
I wonder if Amazon works?
“Activate and earn 5 AAdvantage® miles per $1 spent, up to 2,500 AAdvantage® bonus miles, on eligible online purchases1 made with your card at:”
Apple card offer (emailed) is back to $300 / $1500 spend in sixty days.
I’ll probably do it this time.
And now through January 13, get $300 Bonus Daily Cash with a new Apple Card when you spend $1,500 in your first 60 days.1 Spend your $300 Bonus Daily Cash or deposit it into a high-yield Savings account at 3.90% annual percentage yield (APY)5 when you open Savings6 through Apple Card.
Robinhood app has some bonus if you have the app open tonight at 8:30pm ET. maybe some free stock share fractions or something
https://robinhood.com/us/en/support/articles/2024-year-end-rewards/
Another one tonight for gold members only
Last night was about $6 worth of DOGE
Do you need to be setup with crypto trading? I don’t hold any on RH, just have gold. I logged in last night (after the first giveaway) and was prompted with a “join” prompt.
The terms say you need to have a Robinhood Crypto account to claim the reward. Not sure if you need to have it when the countdown timer hits 0, but at least after that within 30 days you need a Crypto account to claim it.
Today’s reward was 0.00008581 BTC (around $8.21)
Okay, apparently it wasn’t just joining, you needed to actually have the countdown screen open as well (definitely missed that part). Seeing reports on ~$6 crypto from the NYE countdown and then ~$8 in todays drop.
Happy New Year! you two

$10 of $100 in Groceries purchase on US Bank Altitude Go, must enroll by Jan 15, spend by $100. Showed up after logging into web dashboard
“Earn a $10 Statement Credit!
Enroll by 1/15 and spend $100 or more on grocery store purchases by 1/31. Offer for CARD ENDING in ….####
Make stocking up at the grocery store easier on your wallet!”
I got $10 back on $75 on the Connect card. Used it a few weeks ago, still no credit. 🙁
I got the same offer as you on Cash+. I haven’t done it yet, as I just changed my 2% category to Grocery for next quarter.
I tried to do one of these in the recent past on Gas, same card, and it never paid out, because the charges didn’t post by the deadline. My mistake.
Chat said it wouldn’t credit until 1-2 statement cycles after the end of the promo. So hopefully it will eventually pay out.
I’ve tried to post my DPs in the various topics related to U.S. bank spending bonuses so you can maybe find them by going through my posts, but here are my two most recent ones:
Spend $50 on gas, get $10 statement credit: completed purchase late June, received credit early September
2x billpay receive $15: completed 9/16, received credit 12/02 (although not usable until statement close as this one added to rewards balance rather than as a statement credit)
These offers are a pain to track or even know if you’re signed up correctly, but my experience over the past year is that the promo period always ends on the last day of a month, and the payout is one month plus a few days after that regardless of when you completed the spend.
