Mama Money Card Now Works with Spotify, Sixty60 & More

The Mama Money Card just got more useful. From today, your Card works with Spotify for monthly music, with Checkers Sixty60 for grocery delivery, and with InDrive for rides across town. And it's not just those three. Any service that charges your Card at the end (rather than asking you to pay upfront) now runs smoothly through your Wallet.

If you've ever added your Mama Money Card to one of these apps and had the payment declined, that's exactly what has changed. This guide walks through what's new, which services now work, and how to make sure everything runs smoothly.

What has changed on your Mama Money Card

Some apps you use don't ask you to pay upfront. Spotify charges you once a month for your music. Uber, Bolt, and InDrive charge you at the end of the ride, once the fare has been worked out. Sixty60 charges you after your groceries have been picked and packed. In each case, the app needs to charge your card after the service, not before it.

Until recently, this kind of "pay later" charge didn't always go through on the Mama Money Card. Now it does. Your Card can be charged at any point once you've linked it to an app, whether that's a few minutes after your ride or once a month for your music.

Which apps now work with your Card

Here are the big ones you can now add your Mama Money Card to, split by what you'd use them for.

How "pay later" charges actually work

When you add your Card to Spotify, Sixty60, or a ride-hailing app, the app saves your Card details on file. It doesn't take any money at that moment. The charge comes later, when there's an actual bill to pay.

For Spotify, that's once a month on your billing date. For Uber, Bolt, or InDrive, that's the moment your driver ends the ride. For Sixty60, that's when your groceries are confirmed. In each case, the app pulls the money from your Wallet through the Card. If there's enough in your Wallet, the payment goes through and you get a notification. If there isn't, the payment fails and the app will ask you to sort it out.

Three ways to keep things running smoothly

Because these apps charge you later, the one thing you need to keep an eye on is your Wallet balance. Three habits are enough.

• Keep a small monthly buffer in your Wallet. Enough to cover a couple of Spotify months and a handful of rides. That way you never lose service to a failed charge.
• Top up your Wallet once a month, not day-by-day. A single monthly top-up by EFT or at a retail partner is faster and cheaper than five smaller ones.
• Check the transaction log in the Mama Money app. Every charge shows up almost immediately. That helps you spot when Spotify pulls its monthly fee, or when a ride charge came through.
