Google Adsense offers Western Union Quick Cash to Philippine Publishers

Friday, September 28th, 2007 | Net Moolah

The days of the “snail checks” will soon be over (err… at least for Adsense). At last there is a better alternative to receive our Adsense earnings. Filipino webmasters can now receive their adsense payments through Western Union Quick Cash. All you have to do is got to your Account Setting and edit your Payment Details. I have not yet confirmed if this option is available to all countries but I have heard that this option was first offered in Malaysia.

However, before you select this option, check if you have at least 2 valid IDs with picture. This will be required to collect your money from any Western Union Branch. From experience, Western Union personnel are quite strict with the requirements, a typo – error or misspelling from the identification that you present will cause you some problems in receiving your money.

We have heard of several Philippine Postal “nightmares” in the past months and the infamous tales of lost Adsense checks in which some were actually encashed! I tried to avoid such headaches by selecting the Secured Express Delivery through DHL, but this option will cost you $24 as courier fee.

The Western Union Quick cash option is a welcome relief for small publishers like me :D. $24 is quite a significant amount by Philippine standards as you can already pay for your monthly internet subscription with such amount. I hope Adbrite will soon offer a similar option, since my significant earnings comes from Adbrite and I have already lost an Adbrite check. Sucks…
