Of course, I typically buy $5000 of visa/mc gift cards per month with credit cards, then use the gift cards to load Serve at Walmart. Then sometimes I use Serve to pay off those credit cards.
Count me as another who has only ever billpayed the CC that they loaded with. I've heard a lot of "don't do it! Red flag red flag!" but have yet to see any consequence for it.
