I've been unable to load my card for the past two weeks. First time, cashier said there was a problem with their computers. Second time, the manager flat out said he could not reload the card. Has anyone else had trouble with this?

ask them to select the reload gift card option. REload, not load.

I loaded last week, and the loads are not calendar year. It's account opening and you are allowed 6k/year

I spoke to a CSR about it Winter 2012 when I initially set it up. Also, is your current card at $0 as you try to load $1,000?

Card max is $1,000

Once you hit the 6k, close the card and reapply the same day (no need to wait). You get a new card and the limits reset. I'm pretty religious about hitting the $1000 load every 28 days and this works for me.

You deserve a Nobel Prize for this. ^^^

My card is now suspended. But it is totally worth it. For my last 3 reloads I did GC twice and each time the 2nd GC failed to load... but $500 was loaded to my card. thank you Amex Campus.

I don't see how you can get away with $1.5k of free load. After all, Amex has all your info so either they or B&N will probably get in touch with you soon.

I'm interested to know also.

I'm going to use a couple of 5x points/cash to start up with this card again. I haven't loaded it in a whiel.
