American Express Serve Card Arrived!!

Creditaddict — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 00:47:23 GMT

It's a very pretty card... I took a picture and got it blocked out and stuff but I can't figure out how to get it into a size that will load in to MyFico

I think Im going to give it a whirl but that will depend on the transfers into the account from my Navy Checking.

I don't plan on using it in ANY way that will cost me money and I refuse to link it to my Facebook and the "Sell things" I guess allows you to sell on your Facebook accounta and take payments for those items right to this Serve Card.... Ill have to work on my contacts in Facebook for that to work! LOL

I didn't know about it either until I saw it in the right corner of my screen on Facebook... I don't miss Credit Card images and I for SURE do not miss an Amex that I don't know about just sitting on my screen!!

I was clicking, googling, and posting a question on MyFico in the first 5 seconds!

It's basically a pre-paid Card but no fees currently if you don't use ATM and certain loading features...

Remember Revolution Money? American express bought Revolution, which was a start-up credit card company and money transfer service without fees. Don't know how AMEX changed the business, but I got a notice a while back that my account was now owned by AMEX. I only have $20 in it...the money they gave you for signing up. Never used it because i could never get anyone else to sign up. Worthless in my opinion. Its all about the Paypal for most.

My card is a VERY pretty Blue Color... I will work on again later trying to get Fico to like the size of the picture image!

Try http://imgur.com. Do you know if the card ,allows you to get cashback at the register in order to avoid an ATM operator fee? to test this you need to chose debit rather then credit an give a PIN when making the transaction.

Hopefully you did the load and spend 25 on the card and get a 25 credit . .. I have one on the way also.

I do not know about the cash back, if Im not mistaken though it qualifies for the same ATM's as Navy Does (7-11, USBank and some others around here for me)

But I would never use it for cash because I do have checking accounts and other credit cards, Im just looking for a way to "curb" the feeling of I have that Credit Card in my wallet if I "Need" to make that "Emergency" Purchase!!

I have a hard time viewing something like this as a valid source for someone to put paychecks and to pay bills and get cash... I don't see why you could not be able to at least get a savings account with a debit card on it or something from a bank... lots of rehab programs for if you are on chex systems and such... why spend the money to pay for loading, cash withdraw, etc. on a pre-paid card?
