I paid that pathology bill with the username and password included in the bill for the online payment. its either that or a money order posted with the pre-addressed envelope they enclosed. although, thinking of it now, i used my WF card not Nigerian card and USD was 165 then. Sigh. try online with your naira card and see if it works. Yea, they won't release their account details oh! #fearof9jerians However, the bill even comes from a head office in Austin or Dallas sef not even the hospital itself. Nogen: 1 Like |

i doubt yours was a fluke. i think another mom also got the 23kg x 2 bags for her infant after you. for this my friend, she even saw the extra allowance on her reservation online but at the baggage drop no show. the issue may be the departure airport. i suppose since united is more of a "houston" airline just as Delta is an "atlanta" airline and american airlines is a "dallas" airline, the houston airport staff are generally more informed on these policy changes especially when its a recently reviewed one. she was departing from minnesota. firsttymum: |

uhmn, this PTA thing na wah ooh. I suggest you try standard chartered ooh, a colleague of mine was able to get for herself and hubby $8000 at N197 with 1% bank charge. as against 345naira black market. saving her over a million naira. Pls try the bank ooh. she got it this morning. Sidenote: Also you can pay for flight ticket for someone who has a visa and apply with the person for pta is far better than black mkt (just saying oh) |

Hello house, Pls i am wondering if its necessary to travel with my bank statement as well as DHs or his would suffice as long as it has adequate funds. Actually its a joint account but in his name. I am just thinking why not have all the funds in one account rather than showing 2 statements with several pages. The other side of it is my last name on my passport is still my maiden name so his account will show a last name different from mine but i am going with our marriage cert n change of name, would that be ok? Anyone whose done this? Thanks in advance |
