This card is by AMEX and can be loaded using debit/credit/checking accounts with features like paypal. Refer Serve.com
Valid for new Serve account holders only through 8/31/12. Receive $25 back as a statement credit when you use your Serve card for a single purchase of $25 or more. Neither load nor person-to-person send/receive money transactions qualify as spend transactions to receive a credit. Statement credits may take up to seven days after the qualifying transaction to post to your account. Limit one statement credit per account. Please allow 7-10 business days after completion of account registration for your Serve card to arrive in the mail. Subaccount holders are not eligible to earn a credit and a subaccount transaction does not qualify towards earning a credit.
I would take a screen shot and save in case there are any issues down the line.
Note: you are not required to make an 'entertainment" purchase.
How is the original source you mentioned helpful or usable ? Yes nowhere it ways purchase needs to be for entertainment.
Most here with previous or recent serve accounts are probably SOL
Unless perhaps they finish the deal and open new ones since the offer period is pretty long til Aug end ...
Serve anyway arbitrarily and abruptly closes any accounts quickly that it deems are in violation of their goals, and allows reopening them as long as their goals are served. They seem to want to show high number of accounts opened prior to a certain period to report for other gains or planned self-sale activities at higher scale down the following quarter, conveniently omitting to report the payouts to us as marketing losses and may be omitting #of closed accts to boost the shady numbers for investor comsumption
What is the criteria of 'new' account? Opened in 2012?

Last year they were giving $25 for new accounts. They'd also add $10 if you played a game, as I remember. Multiple sign-ups OK... easy $100 or so between me and the wife. Then, they got wise - started disallowing multiple accounts, could only play the game once, etc.
I would not be surprised if the learned their lesson and are restricting the bonus to true first-time serve customers, only.
More interestingly, It looks like they are waiving the fees again for refills made via credit cards? Has anyone tried this with any success? Or are credit card companies treating this like a cash advance now?
Seemed like they were just saying this to scare people off last time around. I tried it and never got charged anything...
Any recent experience?

Try this one: reload it using the prepaid AMEX - which carries a $25 bonus if you load it with $200 before June 30th, 2012. Total promo: $50 ($25 prepaid AMEX + $25 Serve deal).

Signed up via OP's link last week. This is my 5th serve account, but 1st one under this promo; all the other ones are shown as "closed". Got my new Serve card this week.
Just logged onto activate the new Serve card, and the card's already loaded with a $25.00 merchant promotion credit. I don't have any funding source associated with the account, and I don't recall loading up the card with any money.
Anybody else getting the free $25? Or did I just find change in the laundry, so to speak?

I got $25 credit 1 day after the purchase; however, it's been 1 week since I transferred money to my bank account but still I haven't got it. What's your experience? How long have you waited for the money to show up in your bank acc after requesting a withdraw?

Interesting that everyone is getting their $25.00 credit fairly fast.
I signed up using the link, made the purchase on 7/14 and haven't got the $25 bonus posted into my account. Anyone has the same experience like me?

Yes. You can load $250PM with Credit card. I use Chase freedom and my wife use Citi Dividend miles to load the card and both will post as purchase.

How do you find merchants that accept Serve and how do you pay?
Or do you need to wait until the card arrives to purchase something?

Is it a $250 monthly limit for each subaccount as well, or is it 250 for the card and all subaccounts associated with it?

Just to make sure I understand correctly, you apply for a Serve account, they send you the card, you activate it, put some money in the account, then make at least $25 purchase, then they will give you $25 back as statement credit, right?

Had you signed up for anything.
I have a new Serve account (had canceled a previous one)and was wondering if I might get a bonus by using it, or do you have to receive and activate a card?

GF signed up today, she loaded $25 and the $25 hit right away. Quick way to make $25 in 10 minutes. Of course you can't spend it for a few days.
You could always sell me your $25 serve bonus for $20 in paypal
