What is Western Union Rewards?
Western Union Rewards is a free to join loyalty program from Western Union that allows you to earn points and redeem them for discounts on money transfer fees1. As a member you also get additional perks such as:
- Additional bonus offers from time to time, allowing you to earn even more points
- Member-only discounts on certain brands in the Western Union Rewards Shop
You can enroll in the Western Union Rewards program at westernunion.com, on our mobile app or at most of our retail locations.
How do I earn points with Western Union Rewards?
You can earn points with Western Union Rewards program using any of the following ways:
- You can earn 100 points for every money transfer. Points will be credited in your account once the money transfer is completed. This means once the money transfer is received or picked by the person receiving the money.
- From time to time, you might also receive bonus points offers from Western Union that will allow you to earn additional points for completing certain activities.
What rewards can I earn?
You can redeem 500 points to get a discount of up to 2€ on money transfer fee1.
What does ‘up to’ €2 transfer fee discount mean?
In some cases, you might want to use a transfer fee discount1 even though the fee is below the total reward value. For example, you choose to redeem 500 points for a transfer fee discount where the total fee for the transaction is €1.80. In this case, you get a €1.80 discount because the total fee due is less than €2 but no cash value will be provided for the remaining €0.20.
How can I use my points to get a transfer fee discount?
Get a transfer fee discount1 with your points when you send money online. Just choose your reward at checkout on our website or in our app.
