I wasn't talking about your BB card. I was initially referring to your VGCs. More than half the time, the people who complain about not being able to load at Kate or cashiers is because their VGC is not in a good state.

3636 N Broadway?

From the phenomenon, it seemed like someone else loaded close to $2k before you, and you got caught by the velocity limit. But how did you figure out the "limit" could be $200? Did you try smaller amounts with successful loads?

From the Wiki what it says about being safe to load online with Chase (Master Card, Visa). Just wanted to confirm it is safe (no CA fee) with Chase Ink online load into Serve?. I just received my chase ink today and never done it before. Thank you.

Hey folks. I funded a $200 test with my Barclays Barclaycard US Airways MasterCard. I chose $200 since the fee is 5% or $10, whichever is greater. After 2 business days, the transaction finally posted to my Barclays account. Does anyone know what this description means: "POI FUNDING TRANSACTIONS(EXCLUDING MONEYSEND)"?

I found one search result from October 2014, and it sounded like Barclays wouldn't charge a Cash Advance fee at that time. Does anyone know about today -- will they charge a Cash Advance fee? Does the CA fee show up once the transaction posts to the Barclays.com online account? I don't see one, but I'm wondering if it'll show in the final billing statement.

Thanks, folks!

I've used it for the past two months and haven't had any cash advance fees posted.

This is the key word why MC continues to work. It is not coded as money transfer like Visa does.

Anyone knows if serve will count for the min spend on Amex Platinum? The wiki says it might but how do I know if it does or if it doesn't?

I got this in 4/4 accounts. from what I understand, the $150 should be kept in there until 3/31 so I'll park that amount there and see by first week of April if I get all credits.

Family Dollar $500 reloads still an option in 2015?
 
hi, I'm interested in buying gift cards with my Amex CC, then taking those GCs to FD and loading my Serve at $500 per day up to the monthly limit. Has anyone had success on this approach in 2015?
I've read the Wiki and all 14 pages of this thread :)

Thanks!

No. Never works. FD system automatically melts the plastic. Gets goo everywhere. But cleaning supplies are only a buck so I keep going back.

It did for me.

This is a bit late but Chase Visa CA posted as a Sale as it has been for everyone else this month (as of 1/15/2015) so far so good :)
