(Update 7/1/23: Change now in effect)
(Update 3/30/23: Readers are now getting the same email about the fee getting added for their Amex Bluebird cards as well. The change will affect both Visa and Amex Bluebird versions.)
I forget this product still exists – Bluebird sent out an email today that a $3.74 fee is being added for loading the card at Walmart, beginning July 1, 2023.
As a valued Bluebird customer, we wanted to make you aware of some changes happening soon.
Free cash reloads at Family Dollar: Beginning March 30, 2023, cash reloads on your Bluebird card at Family Dollar will be free! You can look up your nearest Family Dollar location here. The process for reloads remains the same – just swipe at the register!
Fee for reloads at Walmart: Also, beginning July 1, 2023, cash reloads at Walmart locations will no longer be free, and will incur a cost of $3.74. > Add money, add convenience.
