Savings on Western Union Gift Cards

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

Receiving money as a gift is always welcomed by just about everyone.

But sending it through the mail is not always a good option.

And sometimes it seems so impersonal when it is given tucked inside a greeting card.

Gift cards are great too, but most of them are very limiting.

They can be spent only in the store they are purchased in.

Well, Western Union has a solution that covers everyone.

The new Western Union gift card can be used anywhere a debit MasterCard is accepted.

That means both online or in any retail store - and it's easy to activate and keep an eye on your balance.

And what makes it even more personal, these cards are available for many different occasions - holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations, and more.

You can even write a message that will appear on the inside of the greeting card.

They can be loaded with any amount from $5 to $100, and they will ship this card for you for free.

There is a $5 fee to purchase this card, but from now until 9/1/12, if you use this promotional code: WUGIFTPROMO8,  you will receive 25% off this fee.

You can also call 1-866-953-6490 to record a personal message that the gift receiver will hear when they call to activate their gift card.  I like that little feature - and it is free!

Here are a few of the legal requirements that I need to let you know about:
