No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
All I can do is speculate like the rest, but I can see how it would be problematic to have more than one account.
The first thing that comes to mind is that a Blispay account must be tied to a mobile phone number; while it's not unheard of for people to have multiple active mobile phones it's certainly not the norm.
Secondly, I got approved just today (two hours ago, actually) and I had to call in for verification. They accessed my application using my social security number, which of course is now tied to my new account. I'm not saying it would be impossible for a SS# to be associated with two accounts, but they would need to be specifically set up for this which most likely the CSRs would be aware of. Since the CSRs are so unsure, it seems likely they aren't.
I'll also add that after I was given my approval information, the CSR asked me if I had any questions and seemed genuinely prepared to answer my inquiries. I don't think they are "clueless" by any means, it's just that they are a new company and folks like us tend to have questions most "normal" customers might not have asked before.
Where is CA when you need him lol..
Anyways one can have a phone number and another phone number/texting on same phoneby google voice or similiar service..So still one phone just multiple numbers/texting option.. I wouldn't personally try this though.. I would forsee identity issues/fraud alarms going off with them

Not excusing any bad customer service but it would seem likely that the CSR's may not be as sharp as some of the CSR's you speak to with other lenders (to which you can equally tell horror stories).
Very True, at least with being a startup, Blispay has a reason to not know what they are talking about, What's the other card companies excuse?
You took the words right out of my mouth.

Congrats on your approval! Well said.
