American Express Serve Prepaid Card - Get $25 when you add $25
https://www.serve.com/VZBTS25/
Signed up for this last week. It's a prepaid card from AMEX. Sign up for free and you can link another card or your bank account to it. I linked a Visa debit card. I funded the card with $25 from the debit card. A few days later, my account was credited with an additional $25. Haven't even received the card in the mail yet to use.
They only asked for the last four of my SSN.
Once you get the card, I believe you can withdraw the full $50 from an ATM...

Just got my card today, activated it, no problems! $50 on it now.
I'm probably just going to use it for my next $50 in purchases rather than withdrawing cash, but good deal for almost no work!

Looks like a great deal! They also are offering $25 when you load $200 on a prepaid card. https://www.americanexpress.com/us/c...L6FBPlpbVtdidg

The fee is waived on the Serve card's side, but not the ATM side. The atm may still charge you. Also, funding with a cc may count as a cash advance, depending on how it is charged to throw account.

Looks like it is extended until end of September 2012. I signed up last night, funded it with my Suntrust card and the bonus $25 showed up 5 minutes later.

I think this is key.... anyone know if the charge is a "cash advance" or as a standard charge?

withdraw immediately
Just signed up and linked my bank account. $50 appeared instantly when I added $25. Any issues with withdrawing the $50 immediately into my bank account? Looks like it's possible, but I'll probably give it some time so I don't get on AMEX's bad side.

Scam for serve.com
iT IS A SCAM.
I funded $25 from my cc.
Then when I call to activate, they want me to fax my SS card to them.
I ask them to refund my $25. They refused, since they have no way to refund money directly to me.
I put a stop order in my cc. and still waiting for my refund.
It is a scam... do not trust them.. they do not even give my money back.

Shouldn't be any issues at all. I'm using it for other things and I have some money in the account and looks like I can push it to my bank account any time.
