Hope the FTC and or Financial Bureau of Consumer Affairs Steps in to Help American Express Correct this 5-7 Day Wait Time they have Chosen to make us Endure and Declare it Unconstitutional!
If FDIC is going to Allow Amex Bluebird to Act like and Be Insured Like a Banking institution, then they Must Be required to Uphold the Same Standards as Banks, i.e. Release the Funds Back immediately such as Banks are Required to Do, when the Card is Used as Debit for the Transaction. Come on Bluebird, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
Love your Card, Just Hate this one Little Policy that Most Likely Makes Amex a Fortune and Causes the Least of us Card Holders Heartache and in my Case, this Week, Took Food of My Kids Table.
Standing in line at Walmart to add money to the card? I don't think so. Can it be reversed off my account? "No, it will be forever. You can never link a debit card to this account again." Why? Because the system said so."
Well, I told them what their system can do. I would transfer the money out of this account and close my Blue bird for good. But, guess what? I won't let me get my money, because I do not have a linked bank account! AND, what's more, I can't link a bank account, because the system said I can't.
I only have about $70 dollars in there, but I have a feeling it is going to be a fight to get that money back.
I REALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CARD. Go to your local bank and get cards that can be transferred between account instead.
I have never been charged a fee aside from out-of-network ATM fees.
My checks were all free until 2016ish, but I use them so rarely that I still have all of the free ones.
However...
Everything is done online or at Walmart, and if you hate Walmart as much as I do you'll feel me here.
If you want to deposit cash you have to go Walmart. If you want to schedule a cash pickup, you have to go to Walmart.
I am not a fan of limitations. There are many times I am frustrated because I can't simply walk into my bank, fill out a withdrawal slip, and walk out with $2,000 cash.
You just cant. You have to do it through Walmart, or find an ATM and still be limited to $750 a day.
There still are no chips on these cards.
If you have any refunds/returns expected, also expect to have your patience tested for 7-10 business days. Holds are ridiculous, and transfers are just as bad.
There are useful, quick bits of information we are used to (or expect to have access to) about our accounts and I don't think the Bluebird app delivers. You're very limited in what you can do on it, and what information you can see.
I really hate having to call customer service. It's not an awful experience, but it is always foreign based, and helpful MOST of the time. You'll get real customer service at a real bank.
You will run into many situations where a vendor doesn't even accept American Express cards and you're just SOL unless you have PayPal or the time to wait 7 business days for a bill to be paid from your bank account.
My income has changed since 2012, and I deal with bigger transactions now, larger deposits, and larger amounts that need to be moved from account to account or be pulled in cash and this card just doesn't work for any of that anymore.
I'm looking into a local, physical bank but as you can expect that is never easily done when everything has been with another for the past 8 years.
This is a good card if you have a small income, because you will probably never have fees.
If you have a larger income it is just not worth it.
I don't even think they're FDIC, but don't quote me on that.… read more
