use xoom its great. Very easy, cheap and very fast.

Plus, there is usually a monthly Xoom coupon, which reduces the charge to $3.99 or so, no matter how much cash we want to send!

Hey, every dollar counts, nowadays. Why spend $14.99 for WU and let the CEO make a big profit?! :whistle:

I use Western Union...it's 11 dollars for international. plus, i think they have more locations than moneygram

Have you ever tried Xoom?? I use Xoom and it starts out as low as $4.99 to send to Nicaragua (that's for $25.00 I think and goes up from there). I don't know how much you send at a time, but I even sent $1200 (big amount, for me) and the fee was only $16.99. You might want to look into Xoom if you haven't before. I send it and it's usually ready to be picked up in 15-20 minutes. I use BAC for the pick up because that seems to be a little faster for him (he lives in Leon). They were even calling him to let him know he had money to pick up, although I don't know if they are still doing that or not. I always search the internet for coupon codes just to save a little money on the fees if I can, but honestly, I am very satisfied with Xoom and the fees they charge, especially considering the speed of the transfer!! Just wanted to pass that along to ya! :)

Hey there! Where do you get the coupons? I haven't tried Xoom, but I want to give it a try.

Well, lately I've had a hard time finding any new coupon codes but I just do a google search for "Xoom Coupon Code" and see if anything comes up. I usually try a few of the older ones just to see if they work and if not, I go ahead and send the money since the fees are very reasonable. Xoom really is so nice. I've seen a few bad reviews on the internet about them, but I just don't see how. I've been using it for 2 years now (just to Nicaragua though) and the money is always ready to pick-up within 30mins and they've even lowered the fees just a little since I started using it, so I'm definitely a devoted customer...at least until I can find someone that will send for FREE!!! B-)

I sent my wife a paypal debit card linked to my paypal account. I add money to my account when she needs money. The only drawback is that it takes 4-5 days for the transfer to complete. If your spouse has or can get thier own paypal account then you can make instant payments to each other. paypal.com
