Visa Buxx(2016)
Just checked NW Buxx terms again, and looks like they maybe changed the load limits? Now it's 200/week, not 500, and still 2/load. Knocks the profit off by more than half?
I loaded 500 onto 2 accounts yesterday no problem, with 500 onto my other 2 accounts scheduled next week. We'll see.

This change is still better than the end of the card, so I'm ok with this change. Sure it cuts profits (and probably monthly limits), but it's still an easy way MS to meet sign up bonus requirements.

Best Buy?
Has anyone tried to pay their Best Buy credit card with NW Buxx? Not sure why I didn't think of this before. I searched to no avail. Thanks in advance for any data points.

I am not able to do Scheduled or manual funding on my 3 teens. Whenever I try to load it comes up maximum reloads have been reached whereas Its not even loaded once. It was working fine until last month. Anyone faced something similar??

The end is nigh. At this rate, it's not even worth it applying for a fifth card before the 11th.
