Add the Chime Card to a wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay

You can add your Chime debit card to a wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay, that is the most convenient option for you to use Chime Spot Me.

If you shop at Walmart, you can also consider adding the card to Walmart app (As Walmart does not take Apple Pay)

Use Payment Apps like Venmo

If you have added your Chime debit card to Venmo , you can also try making payments at stores with Venmo, using Chime Spot Me funds.

Do note that Chime Spot Me will not work for any peer to peer transfers with Venmo or Cash App, as Chime Spot Me rules specifically does not allow it to be used for such transfers.

Do note to add your Chime card to Venmo as a payment method and not the bank details, to try this method.

However, if you are making a purchase with Venmo using the Chime Debit Card as a payment method, it may work similar to Apple Pay. This is not a surefire way though.

Withdraw Cash from Chime Spot Me

Another way to use Chime Spot Me funds without card is to perform a cash back transaction at any of the retail stores, using Apple Pay with Chime card and withdraw the Chime Spot Me funds in cash.

You can withdraw cash from Chime Spot Me at an ATM (you would need the card to do this). Alternatively, you can perform a self-check out transaction at a retail store like Walmart, Walgreens etc. using either card itself or by adding the card to Apple Pay or Walmart Pay wallet

Then you can use the cash to make payments for transactions at places where you cannot use the chime debit card or a payment wallet.

Does Chime Spot Me cover ACH Payments?

No, Chime Spot Me does not work for peer to peer transfers using ACH or any of the money transfer apps like Cash App or Venmo or even Chime Pay Friends feature.

Wrap Up

So you can use Chime Spot Me even without your card, but not without having the transaction billed on your card. This is unless you choose the option to withdraw funds in the form of cash and then use it as per your needs.
