How the Card Works in Practice
When a driver needs to purchase fuel, they can scan the card's barcode in the Postmates app, which records the transaction and deducts the cost from their available balance. The driver can also use the card for vehicle maintenance, parking, tolls, and other approved expenses. The card's spending limits are set by Postmates and can be adjusted through the driver dashboard.
