Default Western Union No Longer An Option?

I contacted 5Dimes and TheGreek today to see if I could make a deposit through Western Union and TheGreek told me they that they no longer have the Western Union deposit option and 5Dimes told me that they are out of receiver's names for the day.

I wanted to put some money into my accounts for the Football season but seems like I will have to use another option.

I've always used Western Union to make deposits so I'm not sure what I'm going to do from now on.

Well I was able to make a deposit through MoneyGram. I never used them before, every single deposit I've made in the past 5 years was by Western Union. Since I never made a deposit through MoneyGram I was a little nervous at first but thankfully everything worked out well. And the fees is cheaper. Wish I'd started using MoneyGram earlier.

You are in Canada so I'd suggest Moneybookers and Instadebit accounts.

Much easier once you're setup, you can do everything online, payouts are faster/easier as well.

Moneybookers!

My advice would be to try MoneyGram or signup with MoneyBookers if you are a Canadian resident sir.

Yes, Western Union is obviously doing something goofy.....I have been funding accounts online through Western Union for a while, and today they wouldn't let me, saying I had to go in person to do that......

I think I'm just going to stick with MoneyGram. MoneyBookers support is awful. They do process withdrawal fairly quickly but I just don't feel comfortable moving around on a site that takes over a month to answer an email.

I do appreciate everyone's replies though. Have a great weekend guys.

Western Union is much cheaper for the gambler though, they pick up fees, you get gold card points and also easy to get your hands on $5 off coupons
