[QUOTE=AveApostle;23160536]In signing up my second Serve account, I noticed the "backup funding source" option which had not been noticed (if even there) when I signed up for the first some months before, in which you were given the option to backup your Serve with your chosen CC (Settings > Bank & Cards)--either not at all, or to a set amount, or unlimited $ backup.

After seeing the person who couldn't load the $25 cash to his account because of already having maxed out, I'm wondering if the "backup funding option" has been tested--could s/he simply have zeroed out, spent the $25, and then the $25 would have gone straight to his backup card--still netting the $25 bonus on the Serve plus whatever benefits the backup card has? Or does that still count towards the $1k CC load/month? (It would seem not the latter option if you could choose to backup unlimited.) This might be a neat way to sync a non-Amex to in effect, get Amex offers, among other things.

(Or perhaps this is one of those posts that seems to make sense at the hour -- but in the morning, no.)


(Wow -- a Cole Porter ref?! Also been wondering if backup funding is a loophole in the load max. Anyone?
