Loaded to 2x 500 vgc at Kate today at WM and one vgc two weeks ago. Was charged a fee on each load. I called in and they were able to reverse it since I was not aware. They needed a supervisor to approve it though. Rep said WM will continue to charge serve accounts.

He must have never seen the official American Express Serve is free to load at Walmart press announcement.

Someone has called and confirmed this charge will be permanent. It will not be fixed.

I called earlier today, they assured me that it was a temporary situation and that they were in the process of fixing it.

I think ur wrong about this and it will get fixed. To make this change to charge folks while amex is pushing hard for Serve in commercials would not be smart. Amex would gladly eat up a small fee if it meant that it would keep loads free.

Someone reported earlier that cash loads also got 3.95 fee charged. It looks like method of payment is irreverent as long as transaction is done at WM. I don't know if this is limited to WM locations only but I haven't seen any reports from other places.

lol somebody else posted that they loaded $40 cash and still got charged. Either way Kate proudly announced "No Charge!" so there shouldn't be a charge.

No problem with Go Bank loads all week. 15 swipes at multiple WalMart with zero charges.
