Would Chase frown upon loading Square up with $1500 a month?  Just got a targeted offer for a Marriott Card as well lol.. Ugh meeting all these spending requirements is becoming fun..  As Mentioned in other threads most likely will just add parents as an AU to meet the spend in 1 month to make it easier on myself send they spend a ton, but since I saw this thread was just wondering.


Don't think they'd give a hoot, honestly...As long as it isn't your own square.

Depends on how comfortable you are with using serve. You can probably use that method to pay your rent every month with no fees. 


I'm in a similar situation and giving Serve a try this month for the first time.

If i were you i would look into redbird BB or serve or one of those prepaid cards. You can easily put in between 1500-5000 an month via cc to meet min spend. 


And that is fine with a CC company like chase?

I did 1500 an month with my CSP for an most of the 2014 year, they didin't seem to mind. Only thing you have to worry about is when you first do it will show up as cash advance then it will fall off when it falls off pending. I have done it both with ink plus and CSP so i would say knock yourself out. I would peruse the FT thread about serve tho to be on safe side.

Thank you I will head over to FT while I have a boring friday at work and read up to make sure I don't see any big issues sticking out... Sounds like a good idea.. So I assume you can use serve like an atm card and withdraw cash?  Is there a limit per day or does it allow you to transfer from server to your bank account?   Thanks for all the info!

If your place does rent via debit card you just push payment thru serve to whomever. That is the safest way to do it.

I hear people talk all the time about meeting "spending requirements", how do I know if I have a card that I have to meet some sort of requirement on? Lol!!! I don't even know!
