Bluebird Information (Other than VRs, GCs and MVDs)
« on: July 07, 2013, 09:13:42 PM »
I'm starting this thread thread because the main Bluebird thread is inundated with questions about things that don't really pertain to Bluebird itself, lately it's basically a VR & GC thread with a few actual Bluebird questions peppered in between.

I'm proposing that this thread be used for all Bluebird questions that have nothing to do with loading at Walmart or using VR to load.

Topics such as:
  • Applying for Bluebird
  • Adverse Actions with Bluebird
  • Bluebird Limits
  • Bluebird Checks
  • Bluebird Payees


Mods - What do you think?
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

To kick off the new thread:

Has anyone had success getting multiple Bluebird accounts, other than for yourself and your spouse, and any adult family members that don't mind you using their names?

Specifically is it possible to have multiple accounts in your own name, or using minor children?

Wrong thread.  :P

It's only the 8th and I at the limit of Bluebird. Any good ideas to extend capacity?

My wife is my best student. She called the CVS cashier on saying they had a new policy not to allow CC for VR, and got them to renege.

Totally shepping nachas.

  • Bluebird Checks

Can i have my bluebird send me a check made out to cash (to give to someone else)? (I guess write "Cash" in the payee name)

You can still order free Bluebird checkbooks.

Did you give them your legit information when you signed up?

Are there any red flags on your CH?

I'm not Yehuda's wife. 
I had them once saying you can't use a cc, it's not allowed. but apologetic-like, rather than belligerent.  I said, "On this one the machine (the cash register) lets.  It's not a regular debit card."   So they tried it and, of course, it worked.

Do they send any tax forms at the end of the year or report tax info to the IRS?
