I think I read on here (or somewhere else) that you should only change your funding card/add a new one once or twice a month, in order to prevent triggering something on NW's end.

Has anyone had a problem making a load after the initial load with Chase Sapphire Preferred? I opened an account last week and put in initial load 100 and then an immediate load for 200. I also set up recurring weekly load. NW Buxx tried charging my card today, but it sent me an email saying the order could not be processed. I'm wondering if my card is blocked from loading

I can't seem to locate an android app for NW Buxx. Is there one or can Buxx loads, etc be done with the regular Nationwide banking app? Trying to use Chrome with the website is tedious on a phone.

Scheduled loads failed last night (it's been fine for the past 6 months). I tried to manually load and this error showed up:
"Your order could not be completed. Please try again or change your payment method."
It's not a max reloads error; I've never seen it before. I know it's going to be a pain to switch payment methods in/out so I'm trying to see if anyone here knows how to fix this without having to switch cards (I'm just funding it "organically" via the Capital One Venture, no minimum spending i'm trying to hit right now).

Got the same error trying to load a Chase card. I logged into Chase and saw one pending charge for $202 and one pending credit for $202. This is somewhat concerning...

I have 5 NWBuxx and used it six months ago with Citicards/Barclay. Not sure the utility of it if you are able to purchase $500 VGC without much restrictions, daily limits etc either though WM or Drug stores. I know this option may not be available at all locations. Unless you can not purchase VGCs with some CCs but are able to load Buxx.

Was your balance exactly $200 perchance? Some ATM's try to ding you a $1 fee along with the withdrawal..

Security Review
Hey everyone,
So I deleted an old credit card and added a new one to my Buxx accounts and was unable to log back into the account. The accounts are close to two years old and I have not added any new teens recently. When I called the number on the back of the card, the automated voice says the account is closed. When I then spoke to a live CSR they said my account was under security review. I was transferred to the security department but I hung up before speaking to anyone as I wanted to check here to see what I should do. If I wait, will the problem resolve by itself automatically? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
