Received my Economic Impact Payment in the mail yesterday. Not a check this time but a debit card. Word on the street is that the card will be rechargeable in the future, should further EIP amounts be issued. But the AI voice at 1-800-240-8100 says otherwise. A cryptic note at the shoddy website (EIPCard.com) also says a "One-Time Contribution." I better hang onto the card in any case.
Activating the card by phone is easy, but I have no intention of using it as a debit. In order to transfer the amount to my bank, I have to create an account online, etc..
While in Google Chrome, used for only the most up-to-date websites, it seems I can enter in all my data except email address. I try multiple addresses and different checkboxes but nothing works.
Starting over in I.E. however, reveals to me a hitherto unseen question with a required response field.
There was also the standard emailing of temporary access & verification codes. As I have to open my email in SeaMonkey due to similar dysfunctions in I.E., I now have three browsers open at once.
And finally, the sign-out button is well-hidden in plain sight. But the operation was a success.
