The famous Bluebird and Serve cards from American Express are being discontinued on June 2, 2026. You can see the FAQ on this page.
This brings back fond memories. For those newer to the site, there were a number of years when it was all the rage to unload Visa gift cards for free by loading your Bluebird prepaid card and then using your Bluebird account to pay off the credit card. (See previous posts on the site about Bluebird at this link.)
I’m honestly a bit out of the loop on all this now, but I believe it ended when Walmart added a $3.74 fee to load Bluebird. I think people are still using the card in various ways? Let us know in the comments.
