Sorry, but the chart does not mention (annual) fees when adding an au?
If there is no annual fee, there is no fee for adding an au as well???
Thanks.
I've never been charged for AU's. Some of them they charge after a certain number of AU's.

For an AU? not IME, but either way he was not asking about first year only.

Just realized this morning that Serve only allows 4 AUs. Now I have to make more on my regular Amex accounts.

How do you guys get the full value of SBS? Do you go to a grocery store and ask the cashier to split the charges up in $10 increments? Then do you swipe each card 3 times? Do stores really allow this? Do people behind you in line give you dirty looks for wasting their time?

One point to please note, many times if you try running the exact same charge amount through twice the second will fail.  You may need to do a charge for 10, 10.01 and 10.02.

Can also call up and alert them of the spend habit. You can also download the app and click through to approve the fraud charge.

Can you use the same card 3 times at a single store or is that something that gets blocked?

So you go to the local grocery store and have a $120 of groceries. You tell the cashier that you want to pay $10 at a time on your card and do this 12 times with 4 different cards. Wow, I'm not sure I can pull that off.

Or if you can have a prepaid account there you can load up your account balance for future use.

You may even be able to do that at a customer service counter so as not to delay other customers.

Just called Shloimie at the marketplace (CH). He is now seriously considering opening for SBS.
From what I saw in the FAQ, I see no reason why they shouldn't be eligible.

I'd recommend going to a place that is prepared for it. Like Seasons in KGH on a saturday night is pretty empty except for the SBS-ers, and I walk right up and they just say 'how many you got' and get to work.

Just download the amex app?  But if no receipt prints out then the transaction isnt a complete transaction as it gets rejected out of hand.  Can amex simultaneously put an alert about the 10 charges across all your accounts?

Anyone know of places that sell tefillin that will be open on SBS.  I know Eichlers has been willing to accept a spreadsheet in the past.  I still have 2 more sons and 8 more nepphews to get tefillin for  ;D
