The manager tried to credit it back but that didn't work. I know there is a limit to not load over $500, but this was my first load of the day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need to have the manager talk to the corporate office and the corporate office will credit your $500 back to the One vanilla card. Give the manager a copy of the receipt and a copy of the One Vanilla Card so corporate gets a copy. This has happened a lot so the corporate office will know what to do. It took about 3 weeks and a lot of phone calls to get my $500 returned. Good luck.

I tried that. I even changed it to a different number just in case there was, somehow, something wrong with the first one I used. Any other suggestions?

DH had similar issues and their CS was of no help so he just closed the account. Re-registered for Serve-SC and he never had problems again.

I went thru this once.
At the suggestion of the Store Manager I sent Email to Family Dollar Corporate from their website. Received email from someone a day or two later asking for some info. Next day, received confirmation that they had submitted credit to my card. About seven days later, credit received!

Would like to avoid that. I use the subaccounts for my kids' allowances. And I *just* switched all that from BB last month... Actually, maybe I'll do that anyhow. It would be better for them to have their allowances on a Redcard. Get them 5% off at Target.

I'm open to other suggestions, though. I'd much rather not close this account and go through the process again.

Happened to me today as well. I used that FD many times w/o any problems. Store manager could not do anything, so I sent an e-mail to FD corporate. Wondering if this is due to some changes introduced in 2015

I had this issue when I first opened my card it took a couple of weeks to sort it out. It ended up being that they needed to verify my credit card. This was when they did the three way call verification with the cc company. I think there is now a verification process you can do online?

Anybody load with a Chase Ink Plus card this month already?

Cash advance balance return to normal as always?

SANTraveler Jan 3, 2015 3:15 pm

Could someone PM me a referral offer?

I mainly would like to pay my rent and my student loans via serve and the 1500 dollar CC limit would work just fine.

Thanks.

I already received the referral, thanks!

Yep - loaded $200 each day on 1/1, 1/2, and 1/3. 1/1 load has posted as a purchase. Cash advance limit is only down $400 for pendings on 1/2 and 1/3.

Appears to be normal.

Hello all! I made a new account just to get in the discussion! :) Been a long time lurker.

I plan to use a cc to just load online since there isn't any walmart near sf so the gc plan is out. How long do you guys usually wait before withdrawing out the loaded money from serve? And how much at a time? I do know there is a 200/day and 1000/month policy for loading cc online. Thanks for the help!
