We never know when an emergency arises. And (knock on wood) as much as we wouldn’t want this to happen, it can’t be helped. Financial emergencies are most common now, what with the fluctuating prices of commodities. I am a mom, and I know how hard it is to manage the household budget. And working from home, I only get paid through Paypal, which is my best friend already. But, withdrawing from Paypal to my trusty EON debit card takes about 3 business days, and like now that I ran out of diapers, I needed to make a withdrawal but can’t afford to wait until next week since it’s already Thursday. Good thing I read about Xoom’s coupon codes. I have used Xoom once before, when my mom had to send me some funds. So this is the first time I tried their service. Well, you’ll be glad to know that with their coupon code, the service fee is waived. Yep, you can get the full amount of your money no matter the amount without deductions. I registered, transferred the money from my Paypal account, and hey, 10 minutes later, here I am blogging about it. I just received an email from Xoom that my money is ready to be picked up at any BDO, SM or M Lhuillier branches (limited since I chose to pick up the money in US dollars instead of pesos).
Coupon code I used for those who are interested: 2010TRANSFER
3 days pala sa EON? I thought if you withdraw from PAYPAL this morning, the cash will be transferred to your account few hours after.
Never had the chance to withdraw from EON nor from ZOOM. I’ve only tried with BDO but the service charge is too big for me
so I didn’t tried again. Newi, don’t have that much money from paypal naman.
Yup, usually 2 days sa EON. The most would be 3 days. I haven’t tried other banks kasi nung nagresearch ako, EON was the best option since P50 lang yung charge if di naman aabot sa minimum na P7,000.
