What are the hours and when should I call?
Moneygram operates the call center for this 800-666-3947 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 9,651 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
Call when they- and you- are open
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, you can also schedule the call with Moneygram at a time when they are open and when it works for you. We will confirm you are ready before placing the call, just in case. That means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Moneygram phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Moneygram staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Moneygram is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 154% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 9,651 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday, which is 112% longer than the minimum.Most companies see more fluctuation in the length of hold times, but as you can see, time spent waiting for a Moneygram representative is more consistent than the number of calls throughout the week.
In summation, the best day to call Moneygram is Wednesday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Moneygram staffs up on Wednesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Calling MoneyGram is a rather convoluted experience, as the system is set up to allow you to send a money order over the phone without having to visit a MoneyGram location. However, this isn't a good thing, because the system takes you through several detailed steps and can lead you to a representative who has no idea how to help you.
When I called, I was asked the reason I was calling and said send, as I wanted to find out the cost of a money order. Upon saying send, I was given a long speech asking me to make sure that I knew the person I was sending the money to and making sure I did not fall for any scams. I was then asked the country I would send to and said United States. I was next asked the state and said Florida, and asked to provide the amount I wanted to send.
Not wanting to risk losing a large amount of money if something went wrong, I said that I wanted to send $1.00. The system then took me to a representative and told me that by continuing, I was consenting to having my call recorded. If I did not want the call recorded, I could visit a MoneyGram agent in person.
That would have been more productive, because I didn't get an answer out of the representative. I said I was not ready to send a money order yet, but I wanted to know how much a money order from MoneyGram would cost. She said that she would look that up, then came back and said she could not provide that information and I'd need to call a different number.
Maybe this number works for transactions, but it wasn't effective for getting information. I would not use it in the future.
