We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Thanks to Million Mile Secrets reader, yuckmouth, for alerting me to the ONE VIP version of AMEX Serve.

    In case you missed it, the current Serve card is now closed to new applicants.  And there are now 2 new versions of Serve with a 3rd on the way!

    But these 2 new versions of Serve are inferior to the “traditional” Serve card that folks already have.

    Folks like using AMEX Serve to help meet minimum spending requirements to pay bills that can’t ordinarily be paid by credit card.

    AMEX Serve ONE VIP Has All the Same Features as the Previous Serve Card

    So it’s welcome news that you can still get the Serve ONE VIP card.  Because it’s the same as the “traditional” and better Serve card!

    What’s Going On?

    Link:   My Review of American Express Serve

    I told you earlier today about the changes to AMEX Serve.

    There are now 2 versions of Serve, and both of them have new fees for cash reloads.

    But… there’s still this version of Serve called the Serve ONE VIP card that does NOT have fees to reload.  It does have a $1 monthly fee that’s waived if you load $500+ to the card each month, or live in New York, Texas, or Vermont.
    Serve ONE VIP Is Only $1 per Month (Waived When You Load $500+ in a Month, or Live in New York, Texas, or Vermont), and Has NO Cash Reload Fees!

    Folks with the old AMEX Serve already have these features.  But if you don’t already have an AMEX Serve, you can still get the same deal with the AMEX Serve ONE VIP.

    The only difference is the branding, but the features are almost the same.

    With the ONE VIP Serve card, you’ll also get access to the Radio One ONE VIP Loyalty Program (VIP club access, premium concert seating, and other perks).

    I don’t know how long you’ll be able to sign-up for this version of AMEX Serve, so if you’re interested, get it now!

    There’s a new AMEX Silver Serve card coming out in ~2 months, but I do NOT know what the fees or features will be yet.

    As of right now, the AMEX Serve ONE VIP has the best terms of all the available AMEX Serve cards.

    Note:   You can still get the AMEX Bluebird and Target Prepaid REDcard, though the REDcard is only available in certain states.

    And you can only have ONE AMEX prepaid card at a time.   Check out my post for help deciding which AMEX prepaid card is right for you!

    Bottom Line

    The AMEX Serve ONE VIP card is almost identical to the old AMEX Serve card that most folks currently have.  As of today, the old AMEX Serve is closed to new applicants.  And there are 2 new versions of AMEX Serve, and both of them have fees to load cash!

    I do NOT know how long you’ll be able to sign-up for AMEX Serve ONE VIP, so if you’re interested, get it while you can!
