  1. so now there really is no advantage to bluebird over serve… serve actaully has a higher monthly load limit. i’ll cancel my bluebird tonight and apply for serve in a month.

  2. Well, this is interesting. According to Serve’s published fees and limits schedule (https://www.serve.com/help/#/#fees-and-limits-1), you should only be able to load up to $200/day or $1000/month from debit cards, yet Grant just showed loading 2 $500 loads in a single visit. I wonder if that was a fluke or if the published rules haven’t been updated to reflect actual changes.

  3. I’ve been asked to turn my tshirt inside out before by TSA, I declined, nothing further happened.

  4. Redeeming Bing rewards for miles is paying 4 cpm (not to say 4 cents per IHG point!). Would only consider this for keep-alive.

    BTW, there are apps that automate daily bing queries.

  5. I remember around 2.5 years ago, Bing used to allow earning AA miles, and I ordered that twice. Somehow they stopped it and now returned it.

  6. Prediction: Serve and Bluebird will soon be merged, and one of the brands will be discontinued.

  7. Looks like airline miles and hotel points option has disappeared from the Bing rewards program.
