WM is your best bet since you can do 2 $1k MOs in 1 transaction each transaction NS deducts $2 (where its a PIN trans) Most other places have amax of $500 so that would cost you an extra $6 to NS and MO fees x4 instead of x2 @ WM. Then youd need to get the remainder off of it, stop by a 2nd WM or ask at that WM for 2 @ $1k and 1 @ $500 youd have to give them your DL but since you wont be hitting Wallys anyway thats what Id do and cap NS fees @ $2 for all 3 MOs
Plenty of Wallys over the bridge or thru the tunnel in NJ, fill up with gas to help offset the cost of gas getting there and the hefty toll. Or try your luck with the Wally near Green Acres in Valley Stream , since you wont be doing any GCs they should work with ya
Lastly is to try a few drug stores or supermakts near where you live, most have a $500 max per MO and if they wont do several per transaction its $2 to NS each time
* keep a running tab of how many transactions (not MOs) you get 5 on 1 trans its $2 if there are 5 trans its $10 since with $2500 you cant get 5 @ $500 unless you pony up some cash as the place gets their fee and NS as well. eg you hit WM and get 2 @ $1k and 1 @ $500 you can give them $5.50 cash or simply make the last MO $494.50 instead of $500 and that will cover your the fees. The more transactions that are done reduce the $494.50 by $2 per transaction. When from time to time I mess up its Declined, I reworked the #s and lower my last MO by .10 or whatever the amount is must be lowered by and bingo Approved
hope it helps ya
