Microsoft Points are the currency of the Xbox Live Marketplace, Games for Windows Marketplace, Windows Live Gallery, Xbox Music and Video online stores. The points allow users to purchase content without a credit card and to reduce the number of small credit card transaction fees, which Microsoft would otherwise pay.] Some downloads on the Xbox Live Marketplace are free, but most other downloads, such as full versions of arcade games and downloadable content for some games, cost Microsoft Points.
As of October 2012, recent evidence of Windows 8 now supporting real-life currency by default to pay for content from the Xbox Video Store, instead of exclusively relying on Microsoft Points, suggest that Microsoft may eventually abandon their virtual currency in favor of a real-life currency system for Xbox Live.

Check out http://www.ko-kard.com. They are partnered with BDO, have a re-loadable debit ATM MasterCard. I have recently found them and now issued 2 ko-kards to my family. Sending money is easy to the Philippines. Service works great for me, just wanted to pass it on.

Xoom recently decided that my sending child support to the Philippines from my US based bank was in violation of their terms of use agreement. When I asked them how this was in violation they told me that they dont have to tell me and that they refuse to discuss the matter further. With customer service like that they can go to hell.

Well ako first time ko ngayon sa PayManila…
Just sent the fund 10 minutes ago.

Still waiting for the verification which will take 24hours. I can wait though SOP kasi nila yun kaya wala tayo magagawa.

Pag na receive ko na cash ko thru gCash…

Update ko kayo kaagad.

Hi Guys,
You can actually have another option in withdrawing your funds to PayPal. You can apply for an EON Card at any UnionBank Branch.

In addition, EON card does not charge anything if your withdrawal amount is 7,000 and above and P50.00 for 6,999.99 or less.

If you have other concerns regarding this, you can post it on our wall at facebook.com/unionbankph or tweet us on twitter account @unionbankph or check our website at http://www.unionbankph.com.

We will be glad to assist you with your concerns.

Thank you!

UnionBank of the Philippines

@Bernard: Well kung fully verified ka, then after a few transactions you can increase na your quota. As I said I am one of the partners, and I personally have invited several people already to paymanila and all of them were satisfied. Yes in the early part as I said you will have a transfer cap like a trial transaction. Then once it’s proven that there are no cashbacks and other issues, you will be allowed higher amounts to exchange.

If you were disappointed the first time, try again and see if you will be disappointed again. And please air concerns on the forum…

Well, in fairness, nag start din ako sa maliit na limit, pero now, I enjoy the fast service ng PayManila. One time nga, 500usd isang bagsak lang.

I used to use Xoom din, and PGX, kaso wala sila PayPal eh.

^

anu yan paymanila? walang kwenta diyan.. nagverify na ako diyan. for first time users $50 lang minimum which is napakaliit..

parang walang tiwala lalo na yung PING na kausap ko.. submit mo na lahat ng kelangan documents yun pala $50 lang pede..

kung meron kayo alam na alternative sa xoom pakipost naman dito..

Maybe because its election time here in the Philippines, xoom might go back to normal again after the election. Or there will be a person running in politics that will fix this problem pagnagkataon super bango ng name nya.. :D nah I’m just sayin’… I am also affected with that new policy of xoom, hai hassle nga naman.

this is bad news

I am lucky lang kasi yung remitance ko eh from US.. I just remit one today.. and the teller told me na talagang bumaba yung bilang ng nag remit from xoom.. I told them nga na di na nag accept ng paypal ang xoom also.. US bank account at US credit card na lang ang inaaccept nila..

I still prefer Unionbank EON for Paypal funds withdrawals. Unionbank doesn’t charge anything for Paypal withdrawals, you only have to pay the Php 350 annual fee. And it does take about 2-4 days. In my experience, it took only 2 days for my funds to be available for withdrawal from my EON account. I have full control over my money and I feel more secure because I’m dealing with Unionbank and Paypal only.

And I also prefer Western Union over Xoom. A lot of pinoy money makers were saddened by this news, but there are better alternatives.

please Like it.clik the link.and bec0me a fan at REdm0bile and like my post.please i beg u guys that is just a minuTE TO D0.PLZ. Here http://www.facebook.com/redmobile?v=feed&story_fbid=377579149097

just get a US bank account with debit card and transfer using that

just use paypal instead to send remittance to the philippines. paypal and the receiving philippine bank’s fees can be lower than what xoom.com charges. the only disadvantage is that paypal takes 2-4 banking days for the withdrawal to be credited in the recipient’s local bank account.

@dee, Good thing about Western Union is that your wired remittance is secured and faster like what Google Adsense does is use it for instant payout for their publishers…

Still, BOYCOTT Xoom.com!

thats really sad, seems unionbank’s eon has cut them by half.

And for the fraudulent transactions, no wonder we’ve been a high risk on credit card purchases and other online transactions. Funny that their are sites who wont accept cc card issued from ph cause of cheating records

@marty, will try that dude. i believe wu has huge fees on wiring but havent tried the wu gold card

move on guys :) their will always be an alternative ;)

What other methods of nonUS were used to send to the Philippines, I thought sending from a PH paypal to Xoom didnt work before since thats not really a remittance. It has to be from outside the country. Now you can only send from US?

What about if you use a Virtual Debit Card from your PayPal account? Does that work? :)

Which other countries are branded as high risk?

malabo paren kasi yung reason.. pero im sure dahil yan sa mga fraudelent transaction.. siguro yung ibang pinoy na walang magawa eh.. nag hack ng paypal account.. tapos sine send thru xoom.. hays..

waaaaaaaaaahhh…… :( paanu na….

Many people are asking why we no longer accept non-US funding for transactions to the Philippines. Xoom is in the remittance business with a focus on friends and family money transfers. Xoom is not in the commercial business where money is sent for goods or services. As such, Xoom cannot certify the quality of merchants. Unfortunately, some (not all) commercial merchants are unprofessional or even fraudulent. Our customers who send money to poor quality or fraudulent merchants have a very bad experience. The best way for Xoom to protect these customers is to simply stop the business. If you want a commercial service, it is best to use a service that focuses on commercial and has a process for certifying merchants. PayPal, for example, is in this business and is very effective at managing merchant quality. We realize this decision will impact our customer base and we apologize for the inconvenience we have caused.
