Bye Bye Bluebird
So after two years I ended up just opening an account with CapitalOne. Heres why:
BB never notified me once that the ATMs would no longer be free ( I went from having access to three right outside my door to zilch). It got to a point where the nearest free ATM was over a mile away ($5.00 per trans). When I called customer support I was told it was a MoneyPass issue. Nice, blame them but you state the convince of have so many ATMs in your network.
This card cannot be used with Uber or Lyft.
This card does not work with setting up monthly payment plans (gym memberships ect). Its considered a pre-paid card, even though AE says its a "checking account". Ive been told it can work, however, the card is like AE, its not accepted everywhere.
BB just ended having more cons than pros. I thought I would be saving money because its not a traditional brick and mortar.
I dont want to even start telling you about the customer support Ive gotten. I think BB is not handle the same as if you were a AE card holder. Its a tad bit low end.
Do your homework kids, there are better cards out there!!!

The security issue is still not resolved after many updates (rev.2 04/23/15).
Ive have checked all settings via my phone and computer but the security question is now being bypassed on the new IPhone 6.
(Update) They have resolved the issue but did it need to take six months?
