Paypal, like an old friend

For those of you who don't know PayPal is a wonderful web payment service. They serve as an extra layer of protection when using your bank account and your credit cards online. I said earlier when talking about transferring money that I'd found a lower-cost solution and Pay Pal is that. After talking with the staff at PayPal I determined that I would be able to have them issue a second card on my account with Bhel's name on it. By doing this I would get a PayPal debit card with bhel's name on it that she could use in the Philippines. PayPal does charge a dollar fifty fee for withdrawing funds at an ATM, but does not charge an international service fee for transactions done in other countries. PayPal confirmed that if the card is activated in the Philippines it will be listed as primarily being used in the Philippines and thus will not flag the account. I'm hoping that Bhel's card arrives before I travel to the Philippines next week but if it doesn't we will try our hand at sending our first care package when I get back.
