Our Verdict
Not everybody will have received this targeted promotion, some people just received an e-mail from American Express giving them their account details so they can deposit their tax refund if they want, but with no bonus attached to doing so.
I didn’t receive this targeted e-mail, but that might be because I have a SoftCard Serve account rather than a regular Serve. Did you receive this targeted promotion? Let us know if you did or didn’t and whether you’ll be completing the requirements or not.
H/T to Miles to Memories
This is a very old post, but wanted to comment that my federal tax refund did indeed trigger a $30 credit from Bluebird. It took about 6 days from receiving the refund to get the $30 credit.
I got this on my redbird account.
There’s nothing preventing us from just depositing $1 right?
I did receive the promotion and I am a user of Softcard also.
Received the non targeted email. I do not have software version. I did use this promotion last year.
The card I received the offer on was a Softcard version as well.
Thanks for the information, I hate being left out.
I received this targeted offer yesterday and have a SoftCard Serve account as well.
