A New Way to Send a Monetary Gift

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Western Union for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you often give gift cards for presents? 

I know I do. I'm a (probably overly) practical person. I usually worry that the person I'm buying a present for might not want more "stuff". Or they might not like what I'm choosing for them, and that's why I just give gift cards. 

However, it would be nice to just give a gift card to any store, and cash and checks are just that, but you can't really send cash or checks online (not easily anyway). 

Western Union© has come up with the Western Union gift card. This card can be used anywhere that Mastercard is accepted. This is great for those hard-to-pick-for people!

The Western Union gift card is a meaningful way to show special people in your life that you're thinking of them.  They even allow you to write a personalized message to be printed on the inside of the gift card, or you can record your own voice and send a voice message for the recipient that they can hear when they activate the gift card! How cool is that?!

This card can be used for any number of holidays and/or occasions, or just as a sweet gift. You can choose from a number of cute card fronts on the ordering site WUGift.com  It's very easy to order and you can load any amount of $ you would like. 

There is a $5 ordering fee, but if you use First Class Shipping, they will ship your card(s) for free. I ordered a gift card online the other day, and it cost me $6 in shipping!  So, even though there is a $5 fee, the shipping is free.  Also, there is a $2.50 servicing free, if the card remains inactive for over 12 months.  If you use the promo code WUGIFTPROMO8, you can get 25% off the $5 fee (valid through 9/1/12).

The card can be shipped to 48 contiguous states, excluding AZ, PO Boxes, military bases and correctional facilities.

So, if you're still trying to find the perfect graduation, birthday, or "just thinking of you" gift, consider a Western Union gift card

It's a gift that you can be sure anyone would like to receive!

  1. Katie, I agree! Sometimes a gift card is the perfect gift! A generic one that can be used anywhere....even better!

    1. It's funny, because my mom and I have an on-going debate. She says, ' it's so boring for me to send people gift cards" and I tell her, "ya, boring for you, but everyone else likes it!" lol

      I love the ease of it!
