If you pay with WU through westernunion.com with a credit card does it usually go through as a cash advance, or just a regular purchase?

Mine went through as a cash advance. Western Union on-line also billed my credit card three times from two different offices for the same, single money transfer! Had a heck of a time trying to get my money back from W.U. They completely denied placing the extra charges on my c.c. even after I faxed them a copy of my c.c. bill showing three seperate charges for the same money transfer. Finally had to get my credit card company to settle the dispute and I got my money credited back to my c.c. a month and a half later. If you can check your c.c. balance on-line or by phone, do so within a few days of using W.U. on-line to make sure they charged the right amount!

Yikes! I guess it really is better to just go to an agent and send it then. Then you don't have to deal with multiple charges and/or cash advance fees. You just have to deal with nosey people instead. lol

Thanks for your reply!

One more question...... do they always call to confirm if you go through westernunion.com?
