+The things I like most about my Blue Bird card is that I can keep all my money in the set aside account and just put as much money as I want to spend in the main account. I like knowing that if anyone tried to use my card or charge a sneaking "monthly fee", they would get denied for insufficient funds right away.
+Another thing I like about the card is it is kind of like a secret stash. They do not report to the IRS or any other authority that I know of.
-Con... crappy customer service with people who talk so fast in such a strong accent that you can hardly understand them. I got conflicting information from different customer service reps about the same issue. And neither was correct! (The check cashing service somehow put an instant payment that was for more that the check was in my account. I was told by one person not to touch it, it wasn't my money, and that he was going to report it immediately. It was like he was mad at me for some reason. Another rep told me that there was nothing she could see regarding it nor do about it and to try calling the check cashing company. Well long story short, I researched up on it and if they put extra money in your account from a check, that it is their error and once the money is in your account it is yours. They just eat the difference.
-Another con is that I recently got another Blue Bird account (their site says you can have up to five) but it will not allow me to transfer funds from one account to the other because I am the same person. So what?!
I have even tried going to the phone option to report a lost or stolen card. No answer there either
