Even if you added yourself to the group, you will need to log out and into the account so the permissions can be applied. Normally if you install Debian through the repos with your account, it adds you into the group automatically.

I look in the Bumblebee.conf file and the KerneDriver line is empty. So, I fear to reboot and get a blank screen.
AFAIK that shouldnt happen as your laptop is using the intel driver for its primary driver. That should only happen if you have made the mistake of creating an xorg.conf file, hence why the guides tell you not to do it.
If you are uncomfortable with editing files without a graphical environment then I recommend a backup before making any changes.
