If my memory serves me right, you should be able to just pop your card into an ATM, punch in your PIN, and check your balance—you don't necessarily have to actually withdraw any cash. Once you’ve done that, or if you just use it for a physical swipe at a shop for the first time, the card should be fully activated. After that, you can pretty much rely on contactless payments, though I suppose they might still prompt you for a PIN every few transactions, much like how you'd handle a Chase Visa or any other
standard credit card.

If I end up buying multiple tickets, will they be grouped together or sent as individual ones?

I actually picked up three tickets the other day.
They all showed up in a single email with just one barcode, pretty much seconds after I finished the payment.

I suppose it’s my turn to share a little update 🙂

First off, I really appreciate all the advice everyone shared 🙂
And on another note, I sent some money over to my brother using PayPal, and everything went through without any hiccups. I honestly thought the folks at the gas station wouldn't have a clue what to do with it, but I guess I was mistaken 🙂

Regarding sending funds from Germany, does one actually need an American card denominated in US Dollars to make that happen?

With Christmas right around the corner, maybe I'll get a little something from the relatives working abroad 😁?

Best,

Hey everyone 🙂

I realize I should probably just dig through their official website to read all their user stories, but I’d much rather lean on "my own" people here on this forum 🙂

I’ve downloaded the app—though I haven't quite finished the registration process yet—but I’m having a bit of trouble grasping how the whole thing actually works. For instance, if I were to send a payment to briskrider19 $33, what happens next?

Thanks in advance for helping out a total newbie 🙂

Hello everyone,

I need to send some US Dollars to my brother, but since standard bank transfers and traditional methods like mailing a check or even driving it over to him 🤣 aren't really feasible right now, I'm looking for some alternative solutions. 🙂

I happened to come across PayPal, which seems decent enough, but I’d really appreciate hearing about anyone's actual experiences using it.

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide. 🙏
