Just realized that this year SBS is on the same weekend as the Kinus here in ch. Judaica stores could make a lot of money opening up that night.

You can change the settings so that it automatically loads from your CC when you use your Serve card and there's no money in the account.
Just did that today @staples and got a confirmation email.

Yes.
Chabad should send out a PSA that everyone should remember to bring all their cards with them.

Guess without trying I wouldn't know how it looks. Is it worth taking the chance at the credit rather than just adding 30 to subaccount?

I've done it with the $20 off $40 offer. Don't see why SBS would be any different.

Didnt get them yet. Seemed like it was discretionary on their part to request the info. I guess adding a hoard of au's may trigger that request  :-\

Did anyone else hear of this or receive such a notice?

Has anyone had an issue using cards that weren't activated? I don't think I've activated most of my AU cards, and don't recall every having an issue for SBS charges.

Does anyone have the free doormat link.  I love that doormat, its great quality.

Also, I spoke to the lakewood gift exchange and apparently they are not doing it this year, because they believe the card has to actually be swiped as opposed to just being keyed in. 

Any word if that is true?

Don't think there's any way to know with 100% certainy, but I think conventional wisdom is that they say that every year, but don't really stick to those terms.
I believe there was an issue with the gift exchange last year because they processed all of their charges the next day (instead of before midnight), and so none of the SBS credits were automatically applied.
