We received a credit card stimulus payment that needs to be activated. Last time it was via check.

Is this how the payment is being made this go around?

Mine was direct deposit. What is being asked of you in order to activate it?

It will look like this:

Yes, that's it. We've never provided our direct deposit information, hence a check and apparently this time the debit card. My wife thought it was a scam but it's been activated and to the bank it goes.

The Feds have our account info so our $5.15 was deposited a couple of weeks ago. It was good for a laugh anyway.

I just found this online: direct deposit, check and debit cards for the payment. I'd rather have ammunition...maybe toilet paper.

Mine was a mailed check both times.

Mine was direct deposit like the one last spring. This time It was $15. No joke.

Direct deposit. We got it so long ago it's already been spent.

Just stop in the middle of the fucking street and ask any mailman, cause he'll know.

And, the reason they're impeaching Trump, is because the ain't got "they" check yet.

These people vote.

we got our 'prepaid card' with considerable surprise & disbelief; Mr. Accountant asked pertinent questions & sent us to the bank, who was unsure of 'when' etc but familiar with what to do;

You gotta 'activate' by calling # on card & provide "6 special digits" which your .gov & financial institutions all have already, THEN you get the $Bux.

Attached document advises 'first transaction is no charge' while there is a considerable list of typical fees if you use it more than once.

Our plan was to withdraw ALL of the duly credited balance in ONE swoop, zeroing out that account, and depositing elsewhere. It seemed to have worked perfectly.

Now, I'm going to advise my grandkids to get to work so they can pay it off eventually.

First one was a card. Went to bank and they transferred the full 2400 at one time.

My first one was a bank card, second one was a check. No idea why, they have my direct deposit info from filing every year.

There doesn't seem to be any consistency in manner of payment. Wonder if 'the big guy' gets the fees when using the card incrementally?
