Capital One Venture
I just got a venture card and was going to use it to load NW Buxx. This is my first Capital One card and I'm not sure how MS friendly they are. Anyone have any issues loading NW Buxx with Venture?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I usually load straight to Red card at Target so never really tried this before, but can NW Buxx be linked to Red Card as a Debit card source?
I just linked my NW Buxx to Red Card and tried to fund the account from the Buxx and it denied this transaction saying "this type of transaction is denied. contact number on your debit card, etc.."
Is NW Buxx "linkable" to Red Card? Did I miss something here?
Thanks.

I was hoping to free up that $1K/month with linkable debit card, but NW Buxx may not be the choice for that.
Again, thank you.

Thank you. So, it appears RB/Serve is taking only the true DC but not Buxx card as a funding source then. I used to fund BB from TD Buxx card (linked online) but that probably got changed by now.

"Keep in kind that the cost to load the buxx is part of the total amount available to load each month. With the usbuxx card, I can only load $475 due to the $2.50 load fee."
This is certainly true with the USBuxx card so it's quite possible the same limits hold true for NWBuxx. I just tried to complete a load at $500 on USB and it was denied. Another load request at $475 (+2.5 load fee) allowed the transaction to go through. Did you try to add funds minus prior load funds?

IME, I've gotten error messages months ago that I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I don't know when it changed for MY USbx account but for at least four months now, the max load for me (per teen card) excluding the $10 fees is $1990. Since I figured this out, I've had no more issues.

I have no issue to charge $2000 +$10 fee to any USBuxx within 10 minutes on the same day.
I also can load 2x $500 a month per teen for months and get charged $1004 for NWBuxx

Put your last two months transactions for each credit card by date. You will be able to project next eligible transaction date based on weekly and 30 day rule.

NW buxx Allpoint fees???
Usually get hit with a $1 charge every time I use the ATM, even though I only use Allpoint ATMs. Last called in to reverse the charges on 6/12/15. Called again today and told that as of 5/5/15 there has been a change to terms and conditions and that there is now a $1 non-reversible fee for Allpoint ATMs. Asked to speak to a supervisor who confirmed the new rule (previous reversal was done in error). She will escalate it up the ranks and in 4 days or so someone is supposed to call me back to let me know if I got a one time courtesy reversal.
Of course I never heard of this rule and the website still lists Allpoint ATMs as fee free. Anyone else encountered this?
