I try to look for USB Bank VGC in my local groceries, but none available. Im thinking about moving to WM Greendot GC. Can I still load $1k to Serve in WM with Greendot.

Are those Greendot VGC safe as well? Thank everyone

safer if can quickly register or liquidate
at times, the system can't activate a bad card but took the pymt; if so, make sure the store will give a refund or get another card activated

Just tried to reload my Free Reloads Serve at DG and it added a fee. Going to hold off trying again until tomorrow. Anyone else run into this?

FD shopping
 
I’ve been making more visits to FD lately, loading my Serve. Feel like I should buy something once in a while. Don’t want to over pay for Tide. Anyone notice any good buys to suggest.

Anybody got problem with USB card recently? Tried to load Bluebird several times but did not go through

2/5 Bought card, tried to load at WM, no luck. Got message "credit converted to debit" And the ticket says "DEBIT NOT AVAILABLE APPR. CODE = 57"
2/8 Changed password based on the DP I have seen here
2/10 Tried to load BB and got the same message "credit converted to debit" and ticket "DEBIT NOT AVAILABLE APPR. CODE = 57" or 58

I never had this issue before. Anybody has the same issue?

I buy some candy every now and then. Ask the cashier if she wants one, buy it for her as well. A way to say thanks for keeping things easy.

When you say changed password, do you mean you changed your PIN?

Yes, I meat the pin.
Somebody has mentioned that now USB doesn't like draining all $500 at one time, so I tried $450 today and all 3 cards went through. Might worth trying if anybody has the same problem as me.

I did quite a few Staples MCGCs at various local (CLE) FDs just this past weekend. I've never had a problem using Visa OR MC GCs. Both work well.

Question I wasn't able to find in the wiki: do online Serve loads with Amex credit card (not-cobranded or co-issued) does not get rewards but should go towards SUB, correct?

Could someone answer a question about loading Serve and similar cards at Walmart.
Does "changing the payment type" work for loads? It's a trick used when loading with Mastercard GCs.
To change the payment type, I have to swipe the GC first and then let them enter the amount, but when loading a Serve card,
they always ask for the amount first. I'm not sure whether they actually enter the amount twice so that I can swipe my MCGC in between.

TIA

What is the zip code for US Bank Credit Card? Is it 63179? Always it looks like your account number or zip is incorrect.

My grocery store was out of Vsgc so I can only bought amex gc... I was wondering if we can load amex gc at FD?
