Q: Can you load it with a Visa gift card? Does it count as a cash reload?

A: No one knows yet. Try it when you get a Greenbird and report back.

Greenbird: A new Serve Product from Amex
« on: August 07, 2015, 08:54:23 AM »
It looks like a variation of Serve with a monthly fee and reloads at a new list of store. TBD if "Cash" reloads will allow CCs.

I guess I can try having someone in NY get one for me and then I'll try to reload it OOT.

I can wait for someone else to do it for me or I can try to play myself.

I'm assuming you can't have this if you have RC/BB ?

Yeah but it looks like they don't charge the monthly fee to NY accounts. RTBS if that means created in NY, shipped to NY, reloaded in NY, etc...

Correct.

Note: If you already have an American Express Serve Account or Bluebird by American Express Account, you will not be able to open a new Serve Account.
And I verified this with a Redcard as well.

It works on the same processing as rc/serve.
Not sure why debit loads wouldn't work. Cc is another story.

DC loads at some of those stores could be very fun. Or awkward. Or terrible.

Am i missing something? Load limits are $200 per day, 1k per month from one linked DC plus one linked Amex card. So max DC+CC load per card per year is 24k vs RC which is 60k DC per card per year. Why would/should i switch?

That's talking about 'linking' a DC. {5.2. in the wiki link}
Cash loads (which may include DC loading at stores) should be capped at $2500/day, $5000/month
