I have this problem all the time with the HSA card (or did until i changed providers)

I would rarely use it, but then I would try to pay for something with it and it would be declined, when I called they always said it was "suspended due to inactivity"

So Yogi Berra works in the security department, not letting you use your card because you never use your card. I love the self-reinforcing nature of it.

That's particularly egregious—what percentage of people with an HSA or similar is likely to be spending money from it more than once every few months??

If you have a periodic prescription, then that may require the HSA every time you pick up the prescription.
