Yahoo!: Tech toys dad would love for Father’s Day

This post brought to you by Western Union. All opinions are 100% mine.

That is one of those things I wouldn't even think of purchasing; I would rather give him a Western Union gift card and let him pick it out. That ensures he gets exactly what he wants, instead of having to exchange it.

The Western Union Gift and Greeting Card is an excellent way of showing people that they are on your mind. It takes but a click of a button to purchase and load them with any amount ranging from $5 to $100 at WUGift.com and they are available for many occasions.

Write a personal message which will appear on the inside of the greeting card, or call 1-866-953-6490 to record a free personal voice message which your recipient will hear when they activate their MasterCard. Shipping is free when you select First Class Shipping.

There is a special promotion going on right now, which is valid through 9/1/12 and gives you 25% off the $5 fee when you buy a gift card and enter the promo code 'WUGIFTPROMO8'.

The receiver doesn't have to do much to activate the MasterCard; simply call 1-866-953-6489 to get started and the balance can be tracked online at www.WUGift.com, or over the phone at 1-866-953-6489.

The gift card is fee-friendly, can be used anywhere debit MasterCard is accepted online or in stores. There is only a $2.50 inactivity fee which applies after 12 consecutive months of inactivity.

For good measures I disclose that this post is paid for by Western Union and that the Gift Cards are only for sale and shipment to the 48 contiguous states excluding AZ, PO Boxes, U.S. military bases and correctional facilities. Limit one coupon per transaction. No cash redemption value and can not be combined with any other offer. Void where prohibited.

As far as I am concerned; this is the route to go to ensure success for anyone at any time!

The Western Union® gift card is issued by MetaBank™ pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. MetaBank; Member FDIC. A $2.50 per month servicing fee applies after 12 consecutive months of non-use.
