    iLoveMatt reacted to Juliet and Steve in XOOM   
    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.

    How do you find the monthly coupon codes?
    I already used the first time coupon code last month.

    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?

    I've been using globe international as well for many months. It's very good compared to two other companies we used before. We plan to stick with them long term.

    We have been using Globe International Duo for 3 months now. It's great! They give the Globe customer a US number and they keep their Philippines number as well. Call quality is typical cell phone but no delay in the conversation as I have found with other plans. Give it a try. $25 a month is a good trial price. If you don't like it, don't renew it at the end of the 30 day billing period.

    Never chase love, affection or attention. If it isn't given freely by another person, it isn't worth having.
    I'm so sorry that this has happened to you.

    iLoveMatt reacted to Glynn & Jean in Positive from TB skin test...   
    I find it hard to believe that the Dr. confirmed you were TB positive (whether active or inactive TB with just using the skin test and then placed you on meds, it is common knowledge that the skin test will show positive result for the vaccination you took as a child cause this to be. Did the Doctor take chest x-ray or give you the sputum test for confirmation. Yes, you can tell St. Lukes about the skin test and give them the medical findings if you want, they will not recognize the doctors findings nor the treament course even if you had completed it. They will issue you TB Skin test regardless of previous ones as it is required by the U.S Embassy, you may fail it, they will then do chest x-ray and the 3 day sputum test, if nothing shows then you have a 2 or 3 month wait to see if positive TB culture grows, if it does then you will have to undergo 6 month of medication to be given to you daily at St. Lukes which requires you moving to Manila during this time.
    If you pass the sputum test at St Lukes this means you do not have active TB, if it is inactive TB they will still allow you to pass as you are not contagious, once stateside you may or may not be referred to the health unit for further testing and possibly be placed on meds for 6 months to insure that it not become active TB.
    My wife had the same problem, failed the TB skin test, took chest x-ray showed small scarring, she then did the 3 day sputum test, 1st and 2nd day sputum sample was good, the 3rd day it was sent for culture. She called St. Lukes at the end of culture on date told to do so and was informed it was negative and to come back in 2 days for completion of shots and physical and then to U.S Embassy K1 Visa interview.
    Hope this info helps

    iLoveMatt reacted to HELP me please in Positive from TB skin test...   
    Since no one here really offered you a useful answer other than condemning you for not continuing your medication, here is what I can tell you. Having a positive skin test does not necessarily mean that you have tb. It just means that you were somehow exposed to it, as most of the philippine people are. You should have had an x-ray test if you had a positive tb skin test. That will determine whether or not you have TB. Keep in mind that you only get the skin test once!!! The rest of the time you will be undergoing an xray test. In my case, the reason why I had a positive skin test during my teens was because back in middle school I was already tested for it. Once tested you will always get a positive skin test. The nurse did not bother checking my past medical history and still gave me that skin test. You will be given another set of medication, so take them. You should also take that x-ray exam. St. Luke's will take an x-ray for you during your medical exam. AND YES As long as your x-ray is clear, you should have no problems.

    Using two lines is fine as long as it has been addressed correctly, just make sure to keep the copy of the money order, which I am sure you did. As for the address, using USPS means using the PO box so you're good to go. Have a smooth journey.
