Since the debit card was issued by California, can we call this card Newsom Bucks? ---

I wish they would have just mailed a check out, it’s hard to get the last $10 of $350 out of an ATM. Spent about an extra 20 minutes and patience transferring it to my checking account. ---

Why not use the entire debit card to pay rent or your mortgage or some other large payment? One shot and the debit card is gone. ---

I xferred mine five minutes after opening the envelope. Considering this was created in Cal but issued from a bank in NY, I was pleasantly surprised it was so simple. I don’t understand why some would be reluctant to use the card. That is what they SHOULD do…
