stars deposit options-money gram

[bad_carma]

Anyone used or know anything about money gram deposit option on stars? Spoke with stars support and he suggested money gram. I am a little skeptical about sending money to an unknown account. Any help is appreciated.

it's super easy, i have done it a few times for 1500-2k a piece and always had good success with it - just have to go to the moneygram place (supermarket, etc.) and follow the directions... usually money was in my account by the time i got home... vig being only 9 bucks on a 2k deposit is awesome, obv if you are doing smaller amounts it would benefit to do something like epass or echecks instead

I have used it for a $250 transaction. VERY easy to use. The money showed up in my account by the time I got home from the gas station.

It works fine, and is superfast..the only part that's a little off-putting for me is that all my local MoneyGram locations are in crummy neighborhoods where English is not the first (or even the SECOND) language. Aside from that, it's all good.

just use echeck

no fee and you can do it from your couch via the cashier on stars

[bad_carma]

What kind of payment is acceptable? Cash, check credit/debit?

MoneyGram is just like Western Union. There is nothing to be concerned about. Biggest issue I'd have is the fees. For large deposits they are insignificant but for small deposits they are pretty high and I don't know if Stars refunds them.

Depends on what people think are big/small.
When they were doing double fpps with the extra deposit bonus I loaded 600 with moneygram for a flat $9.95 fee which is much better than WU would have ever done. 1.5 is both a tiny percentage and a small actual fee to me at that point.

If someone is habitually doing $50 deposits then neither moneygram or WU is likely the best option.

If stars still takes money orders it's likely one of the best small deposit options available to the casual user- it just takes a week + to get there and be credited.

And now we see how the games were affected a year ago...
