thanks unccadet. My dh is inclined to separate the two as you mentioned…the OneCard with flex/expense for on campus items and a different bank card mainly for off campus stuff where the OneCard doesn’t work. Seems as though we/she could move money easily on a monthly basis to both the cards from a savings account.

But I wonder…how does one ever learn to balance a checking account or learn how imprest systems work with all this technology?..lol! (Coming from a CPA who had her own checking account, savings account and car note at the tender age of 16.)

One other question. Like the OP, I wonder if loading Expense dollars on the OneCard wouldn’t be more efficient. If Expense can be used for retail food, why bother with Flex dollars?
