So you loaded Capital One AmEx CC to your Serve, then pay the Cap1 CC right back?? Smart move. But open to shut-down fast.

I never use Serve or BB to pay any AmEx CCs.

It was a small transaction (<$500) since I was testing my brand new green Serve card. My total MS is going to be <$2k/month. We'll see how it goes. If they shut me down, I'll go back to MO through a dedicated bank account...

Are there any DP (I didn't see any, but my searching skills aren't the best) with Am3x Serve, shutdowns and tying to SSN?

My understanding is that you'd use VGC to load up Serve at like DG, then transfer from serve to bank account (or use to pay the CC that was used to buy the VGC) and close serve account within a month or so before getting zapped.

But in the event of a shutdown, I've seen some where the bank account may be blacklisted from future Serves (if you forgot to delink quick enough), but what if you have another CC by AM3X? Would they shutdown your CC accounts?

OVVGC at Walmart
 

DP, I was able to liquidate 2x$500 OVVGC to BB at WM this morning. Not sure if YMMV or if it will work for MO or not. It didn't ask for a PIN either which is similar to some DPs for MCGC going through without the change payment trick or entering a pin.

Imgur link in r/churning, I'm unable to post URLs here still.

Yes, I wasn't thinking on my way in to work and stopped. Didn't even realize until afterwards that I had used vanilla.

I had posted on /r/churning and another poster had a similar experience: While unloading Meta MCGC, occasionally they were getting processed like credit, as in no pin required and the screen says 'Approved'. I unloaded 10 gebits from the same batch and I got this glitch in about 4/10 times. I checked the balance on each of them and they all have drained (so.. not the case of CSR hitting cash button). Not sure what triggered it but sure saves me some hassle to change payment and enter the pin.

counter DP: I was NOT able to load with a OV at Walmart via BB just now. Was loading 1500 total, first two swipes were metabanks and went through fine, last was the 500 OV and came up Tender Not Allowed (no option for PIN or anything...) this was an older OV (from CVS which had a 4.95 fee instead of 5.95) not sure if that matters. Location in MA.

I'm curious to know the type of card too. I typically get the 4.95s. I have a few CVSs that still have them. I would guess it's the newer cards.

I went to CVS today to try to trigger the DOSH $5 to push my balance to 25 to cash out (figures it didn't trigger, despite being on their map...) but I did buy the newer, 5.95 fee card with an expiration date of may 2026. The 4.95 fee I tried today was 04/25, so I'll give the newer one a shot tonight and report back.

I tried a OVVGC (from 7-Eleven if it matters) today, no dice - "Tender not allowed". PDX.

Interesting... I wonder if "Change Payment" would have helped in my case.

Interesting thing happened at DG doing serve load today. Did a single OVVGC and for some reason the transaction failed after drawing the money off my GC. Register said $500 due to customer. Clerk wanted me to swipe VGC again, but I elected to swipe my real debit card instead. I checked before leaving the store that it was in my bank account. Knocked off a step;) Not worth the hassle to do intentionally though.

I should add, I'm tempted to replace my debit card now that it has been swiped at DG.

Not sure why it didn't process correctly. GC was drained; it now shows a $0 balance. And the money was loaded to serve (shows on the transaction list and I got the email,) and then reversed.

Just got back from WM for a second time. Using the 'newer' OV with the 5.95 fee and no raised typing on it, still got Tender Not Allowed on an attempted $500 BB load at MC. Ah well.

If you read the Wiki, not many DPs for OVGC at WM. Mostly at FD & DG...

We try to avoid OV and MC, all together.
