Very newbie Western Union question.. - GoFuckYourself.com

How exactly does WU work.. I've never personally used it, but this affiliate I want to sign up uses it as an option. My question is: All the affiliate asks for is my address, city, name, ect. Where will the WU money be sent? To my house? Or do I need to go to a WU agent to pick it up? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks a bunch.

They will send you a MTCN or money tracking control number. You will then go to any western union office with that number and some ID and you can pick it up.

Becarefull of exchange rates, they suck ass that way.
Also if you expect large amounts like over 2k find an office that will pay out that much. Most around here will not payout more than 2k, aside from one location. Some are as low as 500.00

You'd go to a WU agent to pick it up. Somebody sending you money would need your name, city, country... After they send it they can give you the MTCN (money transfer control number) and you can give that to the WU agent. I think they may cap daily transfers, not sure.
