No...it doesnt. Its mostly for long haul flights. say 12 hours and above.

Just finished watching the video on YouTube. Impressive, but since I fly only from Nigeria for work.....no chances of being on it anytime soon

So I was I was able to do money order at kroger yesterday with my stanbic IBTC card. I got 999 dollars money order and was charged 69cents! It's not bad at all, the only snag is the rate of 260 dollars at which I was charged by stanbic.

For those just entering US, since nobody is sure of what is going to happen come 1st Jan, I think we can explore this option of money order, we can raise 4k in 4 days as against d 300 ATM+bank charges, the only charge involved apart from bank rate is 69 cent. You can even have cash back, but cash back over 100 dollars warrants another 3 dollars charges.

It's better to play safe and try to raise @ least wat can keep us till we finish dis missionary journey, as for me, I no budget 260 NGN for one dollar, but I refuse to be stranded in Amelica! What will be d essence of d money in my naira acct wen I can't even bring it out for my use?
There will always be a way, o ye of little faith tongue

Just kidding grin

Good day everyone, hope our babies are doing fine?
As I have just applied for visa and will be going to the embassy next month, please mas and sirs, I need your words of encouragement and prayer support as I don't want to go twice by God's grace. But with the information I got here, I think I have completed the form well and I have started gathering all necessary docs: 6 months payment slips, bank statements, letter of corresponce ( is this for both doctor and hotel?), marriage certificate, scan results, pls kindly guide me on any other thing we need to go with.
Another thing I need assistance with is to people who used Oakbend medical center, pls which hotel did you use? Is there anyone cheaper than Soul care? Kindly help a sister pls. Firsttymum, u can see ur girl is coming up abi? I will soon be like you.....

It's like a reward program for flying any airline. The longer the distance the more the miles. And if you have enough, you can use to upgrade a travel class from economy to premium or to business or first class. You can use the miles as money to sleep in some big hotel chains worldwide including Nigeria. You can also shop online with miles or pay a fraction of the cost of your ticket for your next trip if you have a certain number which defers from one airline to another. And some credit card companys give you up to 40,000 miles just for getting their card....American Airlines have such a program . But you have to register on the website of the airline you flying. After that, you search for your flight flown before and your point will display...some people you see flying business class are using miles or paid a fraction of the ticket while the miles paid for the balance.... helpful?

For my fellow Nigerian's who are travelling soon, I succeeded in sending my first transfer to yankee today via money gram in First Bank. I haven't suffered like this before! As I don't have an account, got someone who does. Each customer is allowed N190k per quarter @ the rate of N199-$1...However, paid N16800 extrs as tranfer fee...comes to about N207k approx...This actually comes to N230-$, not great but better than black market. So I'm currently scouting for more First bank account holders to make more transfers. This is an option to explore.
P. S.
Every branch can only do 1 transfer a day! I booked for my transfer yesterday but it was done today. So don't go to the busy nor highbrow branches...

No not Tanko, the agent Terese69 said she used in Dallas. She said she went to the agent's office and didn't have to post any documents. I want to explore that option.

Thanks for the response!

Hello awesome mamas, please what postpartum girdle is advisable and cheap, someone mentioned bellefit pages back, but it's a bit pricey given the exchange rate. shocked I want to have my flat stomach after birth.

I bought Atlas 2 in 1 and used both before and after pregnancy. The post party one is really helping. My tummy is almost back to normal even without exercise.

I remember on one of my Uber rides in US: the Nigerian driver who claimed to have been in America for 35 years where he had all his kids, had nothing positive to say about people visiting the US to give birth. In fact, he had nothing positive about Nigerians in general. I'm sure if he had his way, he and his family would be the only Nigerians allowed to live there. Since you can't rate your Uber driver a 0, I gave him a 1 and then gave an equally nasty comment.

That guy reminds me a lot of this mother-whatever guy, I'll not be surprised they're related
