Seems like too much work. Does funding your account first through credit card get treated as a cash advance? When I tried to do that, it gave me a warning that the credit card company might treat it that way, but wasn't sure if that was actually the case.
For me, I just charged the payment to my CC without putting the money in the Serve account first (zero balance in Serve, use backup funding). Max is the $1K I believe. For an AMEX billing it came through as the following:

Bottom line, it is charged as a purchase of services.

The only problem so far is that it does seem to take 3-4 business days to transfer from the Serve account to your checking account.
