Robin, I got one last month.  I tested it out,  it is a true debit card but only has $1.00 limit for purchases. The tenant used it to make a deposit,  I got an alert on my phone notifying me of the deposit. It works at all Chase ATM's  or they can walk into a bank for a deposit.   I think it's a very convenient idea and I don't have to chase down the check. Anybody else ever used this payment system?
