Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

Morning all! I have been at work for an hour and a half already today and fully intend to scam out early! I have my last postings due for one class, and 2nd to last for my other class. One of my teachers announced that our final would be optional - you can either take it and have it count for 1/3 of your grade, or skip it and have your grade based on the discussions and midterm - Since I have As on all of that, no final for me! So, three more essays and one final, then school is out for the summer!

Roxcie, I agree with you - but part of the problem with adding recommendations / suggestions into the yardie thread is that they eventually get lost - The yardies are a chattie crew, and are on Part 6 already!

I hope everyone has a good day!

We can add a separate thread or put it on wiki. On the Bank account, set it up here in the USA, whenever I am in JA, I use my ATM card to withdrawn money and it come out in JA dollars. So when I left the last tiome I gave him one of my bank card for one one my least use accounts(ladies we all know we have more than one Banking accounts) Ha Ha, and I just put funds there and they withdrawl from that account. The account was with one of my Credit UNion accounts, so I have no fees.

Roxie,

My family also do the same thing. It makes it a lot easier and we don't have to travel with so much cash and not worry about sending money by western union.

I won't set up Digicel for credit. I don't want more phone calls then we already get.

LOL, Jomo, I don't blame you. For me, it works right now - I add credit to DJ's phone once a month so that he can re-enroll in the unlimited call plan - that plan gives us 1000 minutes and then any further calls over that are 8 cents a minute - a lot cheaper than the rates I can find from here.

Hey Sus,

Marcel and I also have it set up that way also.

Now, ladies we have a question. What is the easiest and safest way to transfer funds from JA to the US (without going through hoops). Since 9/11 a lot of things have changed when it comes to banking. Besides, I got into it with the lady at western union last night. She commented, you sure do have someone sending you a lot of cash consistently and that it's being tracked. I asked her if that's her concern and if I've broken any laws and to just give me my money. Reply NONE, just STONE FACE.

So, question - what banks do not charge international service fees? Or, has anyone opened an account with Scotia Bank here?

That's why I just put the money into my own account here in the USA, because all money tranactions are tracked. I transfer from one account to another. I don't know about transferring money to JA, because I just went to the ATM in Kingston, put in my pin number, withdrawled my money. No problem man. When I got home check my account and the withdrawal showed up in US dollars. He has not had any problems since he has been using the card. The only problem I can see will be if someone ask to see the card and it has my name on it.

Sus, I did the same thing. Only thing was while I was in the ATM room (yes...dem keep it lock up and only one person in at a time lol) I was using the calculator on my phone because the machine operated in JA dollars. I hope they fix that soon

Marie,

He sends money to me every month to pay the phone bill and if he wants me to buy him stuff for him when I come down. I don't mine since it's his money, but the last 2 times I traveled I was overweight and I had to cuss him out at lot of Jamaicans are still under the impression that you still pack 70lbs on most airlines, but it's was changed to 50lbs on Air Jamaica.

I forgot to tell you all, when I came through Baltimore last week I was asked about 15 different questions about my trip. Why I had traveled so frequently in the last 10 months, who, where, when I stayed, I see you're a born JAMAICAN, do you have family there and so on. Then I was questioned about my residency stamp in my passport (why did you get it, are going planning on moving back, don't forget you're USC, it went on). I just politely answered. I told him I went to see my fiance and my family. He asked me when I'm getting married and I told him I don't know I don't have a date yet. He was the same officer that checked me in the last 3 times I've flown into Baltimore. Just my luck I guess. I'm sure I've been FLAGGED (don't give DAMN).

Western Union is a nightmare - For the first time DJ lost his phone, I went online to send him $ to get a new one - I had to call before they would process the transaction, answer a bazillion questions - only to be told that they couldn't send the money due to their security reasons - He has a really common name, and it came up on some list, but they wouldn't give me a reason - and even when I asked about giving his middle name, birthdate, ID # - nothing was acceptable. But, I can walk into a Western Union and send it - makes no sense at all.
