The monthly fee is charged on your statement date (the day of the month you opened the card). If you have a $0 balance at the time of statement close, you will not be charged a fee.

Also, the monthly fee is $6.95, don't know where that extra $3 is coming from.

It's the day of the month when u applied for the card online? Or is it the day u activated the card? I was wondering why 9.95 instead of 6.95 as well. Thanks.

Monthly fee $9.95

This is a monthly fee.

The first monthly fee is assessed within 24 hours of registering/funding and cannot be waived.

They have jacked up the monthly fee.

Maybe deposit $5 for the first month, or less if you can get away with it?
They can't take out what isn't there ;)

Ok thanks, the $9.95 monthly fee is.no longer pending and the status has changed to completed. This was my first time loading the card.

How much is too much loading serve at FD ? What is the maximum anount you guys load in a day at FD?

That's all a matter of personal discretion I personally take the attitude of I'm going to get shut down sometime, so why not go full steam. I max out $10k over two days ($2.5k on each of my two accounts on two days) most months.

Can you have more than 1 serve account under one SSN and same name? if get shut down, do they shut down all of your accounts?

Yes, info is in the Wiki above. You can have two active accounts per SSN. Shutdown would most likey be both (I think).

Follow up to FD new POS drama: had to sit on the sidelines for about a week or so but they finally pushed an update and the new pinpads work now. Lesson to anyone that runs into the new pinpad not working issue, politely ask that managers ask up the chain about getting this fixed and be patient. It's a glitch not the sky falling.

Do you have the Visa or Amex?

On the Serve website, Visa green = 9.95 fee, Amex green = 6.95 fee

No more than $500 per hour, per store (FD has store total limits). Then it's up to what you feel comfortable doing within the Serve load limits that can be found in the FAQs on the Serve website.

Again, you really need to acquaint yourself with the FAQ section of the Serve website. And yes, a shutdown will close not only all of your Serve cards, but all of your Bluebirds as well, and you will be forever banned from opening anymore of either. Try not to get shut down.

gotcha. how do I avoid shut downs?
