Credit card funding?

Yes, unfortunately, the limit on funding savings and checking accounts is now $100 each. You can, however, fund a CD (3 month minimum) with a credit card. Total credit card funding for multiple accounts may not exceed $2500. A great way to meet minimum spend. Don’t forget to sign up for e-statements to avoid the $5 monthly charge.

What happens when you try to use the promo code OFB300? If it works, let me know and I’ll retract the expired statement.

I think this deal might be dead, tried to open an account and received the message “The promotional code you have entered is not recognized.” using ‘OFB300’.

Has anyone used the debit card to load Serve online? If so, did you earn rewards for it?

Unbelievable. Not only did I sign up before they made the terms MUCH easier but I had to drive about 60 miles each way to open my account because they wouldn’t let me open it online.

You may have to use an address in one of those county’s, but still be able to open it online from out of state.

I did 25 50 cent amazon gift before I knew of the $2 rule, and never got around to making $2 transactions. I got a msg the other day from ocean first telling me that they reviewed my account and see a whole bunch of amazon purchases but they don’t count since they are not $2 or more, but didn’t say online transactions don’t count.

I asked a woman at the bank if PIN-less debit counts. She said that it does and only purchases where a pin # is entered don’t count.
