Xoom beats Paypal Account hands down. Do NOT use Paypal unless you hold a Visa Credit card WITH expiration date and security code on the back.

We transferred US$300 via Paypal but Juliet has only a bank debit card, not a true Visa Credit card and essentially the money is stuck there. She could get a different bank account with a high minimum deposit but in frustration we'll just send the money back to me Steve but in doing so we lose the currency translation charge (about 2.5% each way) plus the fees.

Beware of Paypal.

You can look up Xoom's first time coupon code by searching for xoom coupon code and get one free transfer saving you $4.99 (you will still make them money as they exchange your currency into peso) or use Matt & Noeme's link in which case you will pay the $4.99 but get a $15 gift card.

Perhaps there should be a thread for Xoom referrals so that the savings to both parties can be spread around?

Hello Juliet $ Steve,

Yes, I agree. Btw, we use coupon code every time we send money. 3times tops. After using the code of the month, you can use it again by putting the number 2 at the end of the code.

How do you find the monthly coupon codes?

I already used the first time coupon code last month.

I found mine via retailmenot, but you must remove all cookies from your computer if you've been to Xoom before, and then follow the link from retailmenot.

Interestingly though I could not figure out how to use it a second time. Perhaps Matt & Noeme might give us some more clues how to use the coupon multiple times.
