It is a $500 limit per transaction here. But I was allowed to do three transactions. The wiki says it’s $1500 max per day, so that’s what I went with.

Both manger and I signed on store copy.

How long did this refund end up taking?

I'm having a similar issue - refund hasn't shown up on my debit card despite having the refund receipt and the serve load failed receipt.

5-7 days, slow.

Newbie question that I can’t seem to find in the wiki... sunrise bank cards? Do they work as debit? My local grocery store today didn’t have any Metabank gc left.

I found some posts that say Sunnies worked for buying MO, and may or may not work for loading Serve. Alas, they're dated 2016, so things have probably changed since then. For your reading pleasure https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27529512-post1218.html

Edit: Oops - the link posted only shows that one message, and not the replies. But the conclusion is that you'll have to go to Walmart and try it. Try just one to start with, so you don't run into any split credit issues. Good luck!

How to determine statement closing date for new serve account
 
I just activated my new green serve card, but i can't find anything about the statement closing date anywhere in my online account.
i need to know the date so i can drain the account before monthly fee hits.

Anyone can help me?

I believe it depends on when activated or approved; I am not sure which. I have two different dates on P1 & P2 active cards. I only know due to previous statements.

Edit: At the bottom of statements page, it says I joined Serve on the date the charge hits so likely approval time.

I opened my account on 7/18, first statement closed and the fee got charged on 8/18.

I went to five different Family Dollars today trying to unload the remaining $200 VGCs, 4 of the stores flat out said that they can ONLY accept cash (even the stores that I've been to before and successfully loaded $200-500 per day). CSR at of the 5th store had to bring a supervisor over, the sup asked to see the card that I was planning on paying with, and paid close attention to my actions during the transaction. Ugh, I guess I'm done with FDs in my area, WM seems much friendlier now.

Anyone have trouble signing up for Serve/BB today?

I currently have 3 Serves and 1 BB, none active because I'm trying to get 5 of each before using any. But today I kept getting the "We can't approve you right now..." message for both Serve and BB. I'm using the same SS# but different email for each new signup. Any ideas?

I tried to sign up for 5 serves, successfully ordered 4.
Got the "We can't approve you right now..." message for the 5th card on the 21st. Tried again today, error message still pops up :(
I wonder if they changed the number of Serves you can have at a time..

Give it a week and apply again. They probably have a limit for how many you can apply for within a certain timeframe.
And since the website says you can have 5, there’s probably not a need for separate email addresses. You’re giving them your DOB and SSN when registering, so a different email doesn’t make a difference. If anything, it looks suspicious.

I think you will have to use a different email as that is the login to the account. It took a while for me to build up the number of cards, although the shut down closed them quickly ;)

royallyflushed Aug 23, 2019 2:08 pm

Yeah I thought I read somewhere that the email for each account has to be unique, or the system just tells you that you have an account linked to that email already, then asks you to log in or click forgot password.
