I can log into the BlueBird website to check balance, including from the web browser on my phone. But this isn't for everyday high use or lot of transactions. It's pretty straight forward. I know what my meds should cost every three months. I know how much I put on the card. Done.

I could run a spreadsheet to keep track, but I don't think I'll need it.

I have thought I might like to use this card for some, very few, on line purchases, just because it isn't linked to my credit cards or bank accounts. And that would make it a bit more complicated. But through searching all this I found; I could get more BlueBird cards (I think upto five) for different uses.

Also during my search I found "virtual debit cards" that are not physical. You can produce a single credit card number for a single transaction on the web. After the transaction is complete the card number is gone. But this does need to be linked to a bank debit card, at least from what I read.

i was told to think outside the box, when i did i found myself living in a box
