Last October 3, 2007, Google announced the offering of the new payment method to Adsense publishers in countries like: Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, and Romania. And this new payment method is the use of Western Union Quick Cash in which Adsense publishers, especially those who are Filipinos residing in the Philippines, can now pick-up the cash at any Western Union agent the day after the payment is sent.

You have the option on what to receive, either in dollar or in our local currency based on Western Union dollar exchange rate on the day you pick-up the cash.

Limitation

Western Union Quick Cash has limitation and according to Yuga, it’s $10,000. Now, if Google supposed to be sending you more than $10,000, they will automatically send it via the secured express delivery. However, you can set it to the ordinary delivery to avoid any delivery cost. But, if your earning for the next payout is below the limit and you want it to be sent to you via the Western Union Quick Cash, you need to specify it again at you Google Adsense account information.

Western Union Charges.

I tried the price calculator of the Western Union as shown on the screenshot below, and it seems that Yuga is right.

If you are sending:

• From $100 to $300, the charge is $16
• For $500, the charge is $32
• For $600, the charge is $50
• For $750, the charge is $56
• For $1,000, the charge is $68

With this corresponding charges, I think, I will continue to choose the ordinary delivery option. $56 to $68 is already big enough and I really need that. Anyway, ordinary delivery option is still safe, I think, and will cost you nothing.

How To Set-Up your adsense Account to receive payment via Western Union?

So, you really want to receive the adsense payment quickly via the Wester Union Quick Cash even if you’ll be charged more than what you’ll spend when depositing you adsense check? So, just do these before the 15th day of the month:

1. Sign in to your account at www.google.com/adsense.
2. Visit the My Account tab.
3. Click the ‘edit’ link adjacent to the ‘Payment Details’ header.
4. Select the Western Union Quick Cash radio button.
5. Click ‘Continue’.
6. Click ‘Save Changes’ to save your payment type.

How to collect your money?

I am not really sure when will Google send payment via the Western Union Quick Cash. What I only know is that Google sends the adsense check on the 25th to the 28th day of the month. Anyway, you can check it at your Payment History page at your Google Adsense account.

Now, once the payment is already reported, go immediately to any of the Western Union agent (you can check agents here.) Bring with you any of the government-issued ID such as Driver License, PRC ID, SSS or GSIS ID, or even the Postal ID. But you need to make sure that the name you used at your Adsense account is the same to the name printed on your IDs. Anyway, you can update the Payee name at your Adsense account.

I think, there’s no need to inform you that that you need to pick the money up within 35 days (other wise the money will be sent back to your adsense account) because I know you’ll be very much excited to pick your money up.

So, what do you think is the best one: Ordinary Delivery, Secured Delivery, or Western Union Quick Cash?
