I purchased a at Walmart on a Sunday to give my who needed money right away.The manager failed to tell me that he would not be able to cash it for 72 hours.

I called Money Gram, and they said they could take it to a check cashers and pay their fee which is usually at least 5 percent. They tried and could not find one to cash it so they got an extension & waited. Three days later they still would not cash it. Money Gram should not use Walmart as a distributor for their .

Now I have to send a refund claim which Money Gram says will take at least 30 days and of course, there is a $15 processing fee.Walmart even told them to cross off his name & pipit in his wife's name but they still would not cash it. 30fef4a

If your nephew needed money right away, which you said you were going to give him the money gram, why didn't you just hand him the cash. I use the walMart money grams fairly often and have never had any problems cashing them. However, their money store does charge a fee for cashing checks, etc. I just take the money gram to my bank and cash it when I receive one and other people that I have sent them to never have any problem cashing them, at their banks.

What a way to show your stupidity and lack of compassion to someone who is experiencing a problem more common than you realize. Not everyone has the luxury of having a financial institution to deal with or take care of their problems for them. Moneygram is getting a bad name as a result of their partnership with Wal*Mart because of the fact that most CSR's & CSM's aren't aware of the real process to go through when cashing a Moneygram Money Order. They simply jump to the conclusion that anyone attempting to cash one is a scam artist. If you aren't going to offer some actual advice to someone you should probably keep your badly disguised snide comments to yourself. :eek
