I received my $600 "stimulus payment"...

[GReedDiamond]

...unlike last time, where I got a US Treasury check, I got a VISA "Economic Impact Payment Card," which is, of course, rigged to siphon off $$$ to Corporate Fucks.

To use it, I had to go through an email confirmation activation

After I did that, I went to a local ATM to get the cash, but instead, got charged 25 cents for using the corporate atm, by unwittingly being prompted into "verifying" the dollar amount of the card.

And I got no cash, because they don't give out that much cash.

Now my stimulus is worth $599.75.

Multiply that .25 cents x hundreds of millions...grift to the corporations.

Anyone else notice this?

I would prefer the US Treasury Check.

1. I tried to register on the EIDCard.com website.

It will not let me finish registering. I merely wanted to transfer the money into my checking account, but I guess I will have to pay the "user fees" in order to get it.

So someone is getting a few dollars from millions of Americans. After a few millions of Americans have used their card, someone will have made millions upon millions of dollars.

6. Same.

I spent an hour trying to register and than could not pass the security questions that I chose and answered for them: it just kept bouncing me back and asking me to pick other security questions in case I forgot my password. I definitely preferred the check from the first stimulus payment.

3. My mother got the same thing today.

However, I took her to the bank and she deposited it. She did not get any money taken.

4. Yes, but this stinks of Trump/Mnuchin literal theft...

...What changed where, last time, I got a US Treasury Check, this time a fuckin VISA bullshit card??!!

5. I got a check cut on July 31 last year. Not deposited to bank

account where my SS benefit lands for years now.

This time the Get My Payment is saying a check is/was supposed to be sent on
January 6. I dint get to the post office box yet. It had better be there and not a dumb card. Lots of people complained last year in getting those ATM cards.

7. The check is better, but you have to put up

with tRump's name printed on it although not signed by him. Oh well, t's been eDeposited and will now enjoy eternal life in my file cabinet.

Check mailed on 1/6, received on 1/11.
