WU app for iOS - Get it while the getting is good...

[Back2Good]

This  was originally a reply to another post, but I think it is interesting enough to have its own thread.  Now here's something convenient that may not last long (it has to be a glitch, and WU will fix it eventually), but I tried two donations this morning using the WU website, NO-GO, as I knew it would be, I just didn't want to go to the grocery store on the 4th of July and stand in line at customer service.  So grumbling and cursing I ended up doing so anyhow, filling out "the forms", and handing them to the agent...NO-GO.  No explanation, just "Cain't he'p ya with them partner, WU computer won't put 'em through".

Drove back home grumbling and cursing even more, and had a bright idea - Downloaded the WU app for iOS, signed in with my gold card #, filled out the info, selected a credit card on file, and within 90 seconds had two email receipts for completed transactions in my email - to the same receiver they wouldn't process online or at the agent location.

This is too good to be true, there's no way it will last - Jump on it before they fix the app, it is clearly more interested in making money than WU is.  And Skynet smiles...

UPDATE: Have since used the app three more times, for fairly large transfers - No bothers, issues, vexes, or complaints, it just transfers the money.  Now this is better living through technology.
