is as easy as
It’s so easy for Guardian Flexible Spending Account (FSA) members to pay for eligible health care
expenses. Just use your dedicated Benny Prepaid MasterCard Card (Benny Card) – it deducts
money directly from your FSA account. No need to pay with cash up front!
What could be more convenient than using your Benny Card to pay for Flexible
Spending Account (FSA)-eligible health care expenses? Using your Benny Card at:
• Drugstore.com • Sam’s Club
• Walgreens • Wal-Mart
By shopping at one of these merchants, your FSA-eligible items are automatically
verified at the time of purchase. (Your receipt will identify the FSA-eligible items
with an “H” or “F”). You won’t need to provide receipts to verify the eligibility of
most purchases!

Step 1 Activate and sign your Benny Card(s)• After you receive your card(s) in the mail, call the number on the card sticker
to activate it.
• Wait 48 hours after activation to use your card. (Your full-year FSA health care
amount is available upon activation.)
Step 2 Use your Benny Prepaid MasterCard CardYour Benny Card can be used to pay for eligible expenses only for you and
your dependents at pharmacies, your doctor’s office and vision centers.
(Refer to your lists of eligible and ineligible medical care and over-the-counter
medical care expenses.)
• At the merchant, separate your eligible items from non-eligible items.
• Present your Benny Card for payment for eligible items.
• If there are sufficient funds in your account, the card swipe transaction will
be approved and the amount of the FSA-eligible purchases is deducted from
your account balance.
• If your expenses are more than your FSA balance, the card swipe
transaction will be declined and the clerk will ask for another form of
payment. (You may be able to use your Benny Card for the exact amount
left in your account and use another form of payment for the difference –
check with the merchant.)
Step 3 Check your balances• You can check your FSA balance by calling the phone number or logging
onto the website on the back of your card.
• Checking your balances will help you know whether you have sufficient
funds in your account to cover your expenses before you make a purchase.
