Flex Debit Card
Will the debit card know what expenses are eligible and what are not?
Each merchant or provider accepting a MasterCard is assigned a Merchant Category Code. There are over 500 such codes and the debit card accepts only a few of those codes, all related to eligible expenses under the Flexible Spending Accounts. The card will instantly deny merchants or provider codes that have not been programmed on the card. Please keep in mind that only eligible items are to be purchased at the approved merchant locations. (You may refer to your enrollment guide for a comprehensive list of eligible items.)
(Example: The debit card cannot be used at department stores, gas stations, and etc.)
