This is a well-meaning gesture and I'm sure that Facebook can't track transactions just because they commissioned the card.

Still, I can't imagine security researcher types are going to like the idea of making daily purchases with a card commissioned and owned by Facebook!

I'm sure if you're finding bugs and you ask nicely, Facebook will forgo the publicity stunt for you and just cut you a check.

You have the option of getting a check, Western Union payment, or the card. The WU option may no longer be there since they put out this debit card -- not sure.

You can also do what I do: take the card to your local bank branch and have them widthdraw all the money off the card. ;-)

The article says they can withdraw cash from ATM's.
