My wife's Serve account was closed some days ago. I posted this on the Serve thread:

But...but...but...GMail provides practically unlimited memory. I've been using it for almost a decade and it is telling me that I am only at 36% of my space. Why would anyone ever delete their GMail trash? :eek:


Please note that's not specifically to call into question your truthiness. I am sure there are six people in the world who do that (and your friend could be one), I just find it mildly mind-boggling.

Yes, I know. This still looks bad that I'm sure contributed to regional supervisor/store shutdowns.

From my Gmail Trash folder:

This is definitely a hoax just like last time. I can't believe nobody else has discovered that you can still buy VR at CVS with a credit card.

Huh. I guess I never move things into "trash". In a world of practically unlimited storage and a decent search feature, everything stays in the inbox as read. But I don't want to sidetrack us into our e-mail workflow policies. I am enjoying CSI: RedBird too much for that!

OP - Your credibility just went negative.

don't be dumb now.

Im sure OP is reeealll worried about that.

OP doesn't care and doesn't want to be a serious part of FT. I echo some of the above posts. Can mods take action please?

OP has done this before, can't remember if it was on OBC or AP (back when it was alive) but he posted some type of inflammatory FALSE information back then too. Ignore him.

If you think the original post is a hoax, click the "!" button on the original post and report it. Be ready to justify your accusation. No point in saying "mods please take action" in a post since mods can't read every post.

Personally I can't make up my mind. The biggest problem I see is that many heavy MS'ers are FT users and there has been no flood of confirming reports.

Stop Bumping this Thread

This OP wants attention, so stop giving it.

DO NOT POST BELOW THIS MESSAGE!!!!

DANGER

LoL

My recommendation is to NOT merge this thread with the original thread, as it currently has a lot of posts but will eventually fade. Only selective posts from this thread should go into the main Redbird thread, and there's been enough crossposting that even that's probably not necessary.


Is it real? Is it fake? Does it matter? The only change in behavior that I'm going to make is that I'll make some small purchases at Target using my RB. Probably low margin stuff because with the 5% discount, the particular consumable that I'll be buying is cheaper than I could find elsewhere.


1. I did some digging around the internets (love that word - and yes I know that you don't add an 's') and found a bit of stuff on Dansdeals. Take it for what it's worth. Aj3042 from Dansdeals posted that 2 of his RBs got shut down more than a week ago. Here are the screenshots he posted:

Note that in the second image, it mentions Section 15E. There's no section 15E of the Redbird agreement. However, Serve's Section 15E looks identical to Section 15D of RB. https://www.serve.com/legal.html#suspension
Perhaps this is just a screwup by AmEx personnel. And all of the small discrepancies in the closure emails pointed out by others could also be screw-ups by AmEx personnel.
You can find RB's Section 15D here: https://amex.serve.com/prepaidredcar...User_Agreement


2. No RB accounts closed? Does anyone really think that RB hasn't closed any accounts? I find that hard to believe.
Are some people who get their RB accounts closed going to post here? Probably.
If you had your RB account closed and you posted that here, only to be called a liar, are you going to continue to respond?


3. Odd/Even deposits.
I make odd deposits to RB in order to keep below Chase's radar.
Do I think that Target looks at certain round numbers? Yes. There are a lot of lazy MSers who can't come up with three numbers that add up to $2.5K other than $1k/$1k/$500. Thank you; you're low hanging fruit for the auditors. Just like the ~11% of the population that uses 1234 for their PIN. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3696560.html

Edit: Wasn't finished; hit the wrong darned button. At least the post wasn't flushed.
As far as making odd numbered deposits and those that think the poor only make even numbered deposits, I know you've never been POOR. As someone who was poor, I made deposits of whatever money I had extra, be it $12.17 or $1.73. EVERY PENNY COUNTED. I didn't stop counting pennies until several years after being commissioned as a military officer (I enlisted in the military, but you taxpayers foolishly sent me to college).
Ever see a gas pump that reads something like $3.22? How much gas was that? How did the person pay for that gas? They probably brought a bunch of change to the gas station attendant to pay for gas. It was all of the money they had. If you've never lived that life, you have no idea that the poor don't care about odd or even amounts of deposits onto a RB. And they'll never deposit $500, $750, or $1000 on a RB at one time.

So I chuckle at all of youse rocket surgeons who think that the poor only deposit money in even amounts. May you one day experience what it's like to deposit $4.68 into your rainy day savings account; preferably when you're living off of social security.
