I avoid WM as much as possible. I do have to endure the monthly loading of 2-BBs...but can't imagine having to purchase MOs there also.
The odds on a given day is that you will stand in line behind 5 or 6 people and then get up to the counter and get turned away or told you can only do one swipe.

I have found other sources for MOs, including one that charges $.29
Maximum is usually only $500. per MO, but still beats WM any day.

I also have a very difficult time understanding why the insistence on buying OV when it is giving so much trouble. Why not branch out and try Meta or USB?
It doesn't help you much to not have "gift card" written on your card if it is a pain to use.

It seems that people have a fixation on doing the same thing...even in the face of difficulty.
