Bridge Card Blues Got You Down? Don't Let State Lines Be a Hassle!
Ever pack your bags for a spontaneous adventure, only to realize your Michigan Bridge Card is chilling at home? Fear not, fellow food adventurer! Unlike your questionable karaoke skills, your Bridge Card's spending power transcends state borders.
That's right, folks! You can use your Bridge Card to swipe, swipe, swipe your way to deliciousness across the nation. Just because you're on a road trip to rival Thelma and Louise, doesn't mean your stomach has to settle for gas station snacks (although, hey, some of those roller grill creations are kinda tempting...).
Here's the skinny:
- Yes, you can use your Bridge Card out of state. Just like your amazing personality, it works its magic wherever you roam.
- Look for the familiar QUEST logo at stores and ATMs. It's your beacon of Bridge Card bliss!
- Same rules apply, baby! You can only buy approved groceries with the food portion of your benefits. Cash assistance still has its spending limitations, too.
Bonus Tip: While your Bridge Card might be your best travel buddy, it's always a good idea to let someone know where you're headed. That way, if your card goes missing, they can help you track down that deliciousness fund.
