LumixFan was kind enough to post the steps of the process earlier in the thread -

I chose to fund my initial $40 via ACH transfer from my credit union. I chose this path because my CU doesn't charge any fees to transfer funds to an outside bank. Except it took an additional week for my CU to approve the external transfer account.

Once my CU approved the external transfer account, I subsequently moved $40 from my CU checking account into netSpend.

The $40 took about two or three days to appear in my netSpend account. At the same time $20 appeared instantaneously from being referred by tys90. After alexyoung59 did his, the additional $20 came in and I now had $80 in my netspend account.


After reading the T&Cs, it seems like netSpend takes $1 per transaction. So I linked my netSpend debit card to my Serve account and moved $79 from netSpend to Serve. $1 was for the transaction charge taken by netSpend so balance on netSpend is now zero.

$79 in Serve, now moving back to CU checking account. Overall $39 profit for adding $40 into account, though it did took a while from start to finish, almost 3 weeks. I'm sure others could do faster depending on how fast the mail arrives for the debit card and choosing a faster route like PayPal to fund your initial $40.
When I went through the Conga, I mostly followed the steps LumixFan had posted.

Here is my update from earlier in the thread on my timeline of the process -

Pretty easy stuff.
So my Sign Up Bonus arrived instantaneously once my ACH funding cleared.

I actually received the Referral Bonus from someone using my link in the Conga before I received the Sign Up Bonus, but once the funding ACH cleared the Sign Up Bonus was instant.

YMMV or things may have change since I did it back in June of last year.
