Step 1: Create your Account & Your First Blinq Card
Download the Blinq app (iOS or Android) and follow the prompts. Creating your first card and your account happen in the same flow.
Good to know: the work email you enter is what shows up on your card. The personal email you enter later is what you use to log in and receive notifications. These can be different addresses.
You'll also be prompted to start a Premium trial partway through setup. Skip this if you want to stay on Free. You can upgrade anytime later from Settings.
