Free 10 dollars from American Express paypal clone, turn around and give to RP2012

[kpitcher]

American Express has opened a paypal clone called serve.com found at http://www.serve.com

Signing up they give you 10 dollars. No referrals or anything, just 10 bucks to your account upon email confirmation.

I just signed up, after the bank verification is cleared I'm going to give it to the campaign.
Nice of Am Ex to help me fund my candidate!

Holy shnikees. If youre able to send that $10 to the campaign, we could end up raising thousands...

Please keep us posted.

[Razmear]

Just signed up, there is a $5 referal bonus also, that can be used upto 10 times per account, so if we keep referring each other we can end up with $60 each.
(Under Tools, there is a Refer a Friend link that you can send emails too)
Not sure what the easiest way is to get cash out of the Serve account and into the campaign, preferably without having to link a bank account, so looking for tips there.
I setup the email serve@2323.us in case anyone signs up and it asks if someone referred you.

btw, we did this last cycle with Revolution Money Exchange, which got bought out by AmEx and was converted into Serve.

[alucard13mmfmj]

lol awesome. free money =D.. do they charge any monthly fee or hidden costs or some other bullcrap?

[Razmear]

Aparently no fees til june, then there will be xfer fees from credit cards, etc. Just took a quick look at the faq, so can't be positive, but there is definitely no fee to send money in the account to another account holder.
We need RPHQ to set up a serve account so we can funnel all this cash to them.

I looked and didn't see anything about referrals. The signup page didn't have a place to put an email, and the send a friend tool has no mention of an extra 5, nor does the terms page. Did I overlook something?

[Razmear]

@kp,
When I signed up there was a referal box as the last step to put peoples emails into, and if any of them signed up it said I'd get $5 each for a max of $50.
Looking back thru the site I don't see that offer anymore so it might just be on initial signup.
There is a FAQ here on the subject:

I signed up, seems to have 10 USD credit. Choosing "CHECK" is free, but may take a week or so to get to you, but no account linking. Here is my "referral" link for anyone who wants to use it (I think - seems to reference a referral code, though how you get this if you DON'T send an e-Mail when making your account I haven't quite divined) https://secure.serve.com/Partners/ESPN/Signup?rafoffer=ESPNRAF&signupoffer=SIGNUPESPN&Solid=espnServeHP&Referrer=1067822

Edit: There is a pretty visible refer a friend button - I assume the 5 USD referral fee still works from there. Appears you need to have a transaction of some kind though.

[Razmear]

The big question seems to be is there an email address at Ron Paul's campaign or RevPac that can accept these $10 payments?

[Kharan]

The big question seems to be is there an email address at Ron Paul's campaign or RevPac that can accept these $10 payments? Just accept a check and then do what you will with the money (in this case being donation). I think it's a bit much to ask that the campaign have something set up. Though we could have a pool account to send it all to (since there are no fees) and then cash all of it out. But I think that blatantly violates donation laws (no reimbursement) or at least becomes complicated.

[Razmear]

I agree that the campaign probably wouldn't bother setting up a Serve account, but someone at RevPAC should be able to easy enough.

[Razmear]

Just posted to the RevPAC FB page at:
http://www.facebook.com/RevPAC?sk=wall&filter=12
asking them to setup a Serve account so we can send them cash without having to wait for checks in the mail.

[Kharan]

Hopefully there are no inherent problems. Sounds good.

[Invi]

Going to be watching this. Sounds like a good deal.

[JulioForPaul]

john_choate@hotmail.com if somebody wants to refer me.... I'm about to sign up. Anybody want to give out an email address so I can refer you?

[centure7]

There seems to be confusion over how you get the referral system to work for the $5 bonus. First, find someone you trust to handle the $5 bonus who will give that bonus to the appropriate Ron Paul campaign / RevPac / Other Associated Fund. Then have that trusted person visit this page:
https://secure.serve.com//Secure/Actions/ReferAFriend.aspx

That will send you a sign-up email to sign up with, which should result in a $5 bonus to your trusted friend's account.

[centure7]

If RevPac sets up an email account, they can provide the email bonus referral links to give them $15 instead of $10. That would be the ideal situation! It would require less trust!

Hmm.. Doesn't the referral still require a transaction of some kind to "click"?

[kpitcher]

Checking more, if someone from RevPAC makes an account they can schedule an event and users can send money directly to it. That'd be a very fast way to get 10 dollar donations if you don't want to wait for transfers to a bank account or a check and then send it to official campaign.

I just sent my $10 to the guy who has been mailing out free campaign supplies, his email is in the OP here:

He's been busting his ass and certainly can use the funds.

You should refer us via e-mail. Then you can donate $5 more.

Seriously, this is great! Can't use paypal anymore after they screwed Wikileaks.

Bahahahahaha!

[Lightweis]

Whats the best way to get the money??

[Ron Paul + YouTube= Free]

We need to get this on the Moneybomb page if it works out.

[FSP-Rebel]

From what I gathered, you only get the 5$ referral bonus if/when they send money from their newly created account. Either way, can't beat signing up and getting 10$ for nothing. Have to admit that I've been seeing this thread floating around for a few days yet only now did I bother to check it out. I endorse!

[kpitcher]

Did a little googling and American Express is spending 120 mil to get this underway. Now if we can just get a few tens of thousand liberty minded people to send their money in. Anyone on other RP sites? We should spread the free money message. Sure it's only $10 but enough of those add up.

[everlasticity]

beware of gimmicks.

[Lightweis]

Already at 50 bucks! sweet! Has anybody successfully withdrawn their money?

Thanks for confirming this. I'd gotten an email about this and wondered if it was on the level.

It would be awesome if Peter Theil set up Endorse Liberty to accept these AMEX freebies =P

[andrew1229649]

Bump because the promotion is still going on!

[kpitcher]

I received the prepaid credit card in the mail today (It's automatically sent to you). Activated, and it was worth 10 bucks for groceries. So that saved me 10 bucks I can send in, yippie.

Edit: I see they also allow you to do cash withdrawls from participating ATMs. So for those who want cash out of it, very simple. "Participating ATM networks include ACCEL/Exchange, AFFN, Fifth Third Bank, NYCE, PLUS, STAR and U.S. Bank" I didn't try that but I assume it works.

Great idea for those who say they can't donate because they're broke. These money bombs are falling short not because of people not giving enough, but because the majority of supporters still don't give anything at all.
