To facilitate long-distance gift giving needs this holiday, Western Union is offering “$50 for $5;” consumers can send up to $50 to loved ones in the U.S. for a $5 fee. Consumers can also send the gift of CASH on a Western Union prepaid gift card, overnight, with a personalized greeting card and voice message, exclusively at www.westernunion.com.
