This thread has begun a new tradition of annual master threads, this one on Visa Buxx. The previous 2003- 2014 megathread is here. The previous 2015 megathread is here.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

•Max load per rolling 30 days: $1,000
•Max ATM per week: ($200 - but only if specifically enabled online, including PIN setup). No fee for some Allpoint ATMs (no way to know in advance if the Allpoint ATM will ding you $1; check your account carefully and call if necessary to reverse the $1 charge…IME 2/3 Allpoint ATMs do charge the fee).

•Max # of CC on file is 2.
•Max balance per card: $1000


From Jan. 11, the maximum reload value will be $200 per week.

If you card fails to load, check to see if there are at least 7 calendar days between loads, make sure the load won't bring your card above the maximum balance, or try the other CC.

anyone got this recently?

"Your order could not be completed. Please try again or change your payment method."

I added a new card (Ritz) and I can only seem to load it once. I did it once last week and once this week. I was able to fund my other cards with a different CC that I had previously added.

I'm curious if Chase is blocking it or if Buxx is doing it.

Did you hit your cash advance limit? It might not have reset.

I've used many different MasterCard and Visa cards and none of them has ever failed to code as purchase.

lowering cash advance limit to 0 or lower than $200 should fix it right?

No. You must have a cash advance limit to cover what you are using. Loading Buxx uses your cash advance before it posts as a purchase. So if your cash advance is $200 and you load your Buxx, it will go to 0. When you try to load the next week it won't go through as your cash advance limit has not yet reset to $200.

Found this out the hard way. A few years back I thought my Buxx was dead but it was only a cash advance reset issue.

cool thanks.

i've been using Buxx for months. I've probably ran Buxx through 7-8 cc and never had this issue. Had it not been for your reply I probably would have given up trying to load more than once on this particular card lol

I have been funding with the same Chase BA card since March-ish, once a week. When I log into the Chase website, for today it shows the $202 pending, as well as a $202 reversal immediately following it. Is Chase blocking this?

i have 2 a week scheduled on my BA, this week's went through as usual. I've only had it back on my BA card again for a couple weeks (did first $10k at beginning of year, mostly buxx). Have you run into any weekly or $$$ limits?

Can't access account

Today, when I tried to log on, instead of the Buxx login, it redirected me to a general Nationwide login page. I tried to login as a bank account, but my username and password didn't work. I then tried to use the monthly statement link on my email and was sent to a broken page. Anyone else have this problem? I'm worried because I have a lot of money on the cards.

Yes, for a couple days at least. You can search "buxx" on their site for the login link.
Or just go directly here.

What about Navy Fed Buxx Card.. anyone ever used that? I just saw that they had one, and I thought might be interesting to see if there was a new MS method for me.

Yes. However, NFCU stopped the earning of cc points around June last year for all of their prepaid products with direct cc funding.
