I switched over to PPO insurance and I got a medical bill for $327 and they do not take CC's. I wonder if I can use BB to pay that bill.

I just spent 9 days in the hospital 100 miles from home with a fractured hip. I just got released to go home!!! I hadn't posted on FT since the hospital had wifi but blocked FT. I just activated BB and now 5+ weeks of being home having home physical therapy, I will have to make my Vanilla ($1K daily, $5K monthly) deposits to my BB at my local Wal-Mart. (wife will have do the reload for me @Walmart). I have $1500 of Vanilla at home that I need to load to BB.

Logistics will be difficult but I will manage. When I get my wheelchair, my wife can drive me to Wally world and I can do the BB reloads.

Bottom line: My first priority is getting healed up and will not take undue risk to do the above.
