Why does the Blink app ask me to add a credit card number?
While it is free to become a Blink member, you'll need to add payment details to your account before using a charger. To simplify this, we conveniently request that you add your payment details to your account during the setup process. Skipping this step is possible, but note that having payment details in your account is necessary for charging at a station.
