USB Buxx
(NOTE: stopped taking new applications ~mid February 2014 through the official link.
Current users can still add new cards.)
Also - Answer ALL the identification questions in your profile (not JUST three or four) USBuxx will sometimes ask you one of the questions, if you use the account on a new computer. HOWEVER - they are more than happy to ask you an unanswered question - talk about BROKEN! So, answer ALL the questions so that when you are prompted - you can answer any of them.
Do not load with any US Bank card as this will not provide points.

NW Buxx
Max # of CC on file for both is 2. Each has a max # of loads per card per 7 day rolling period (~3/4). If you card fails to load, first try to switch to another CC, second check to make sure there are at least 7 calendar days between loads.
Reports of Citi cards (at least Mastercard) coding as purchase for NW Buxx (Jan 2015), but YMMV.
- Initial purchase fee: $5 (waived with promo code: 02050053)
- $2 load fee
- Max load per day: $500
- Max load per rolling 30 days: $1,000
- The maximum Card value is $1,000.00
- 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 spend per 7 rolling days: $800

Do not create too many accounts too fast. Some reports of account shutdown when same SSN used across multiple cards / accounts in a short period of time.

Data point-
I've been loading my 2 TD Go cards with my Chase sapphire and citi AA Exec cards.
Both eventually clear as purchases. With City it takes almost a month for the duplicate 'pending' charge to fall.

So I tried searching and cannot find an answer. I see that us buxx and Td buxx are ok to load to bluebird. I'm assuming nw buxx will work to load bluebird at the custmer service desk? Is there a nw buxx limit besides the bluebird limit?

I just tried WM billpay for the first time using my TD Go card. Single payment of $923 to mastercard. No luck. It said unable to process transaction. Any ideas?

yes. I tested the pIn in the past on Bluebird as well as debit purchases at a register
Although I just tried a $500 bluebird load and it said "unable to process debit transaction". I then went to a register and bought my gum with same card and pin no problem. Weird...
Also I just loaded $1000 last night from my citi card onto the buxx card. It said that there was a full $1000 available. Is there a holding period maybe?

False alarm. Just realized I capped out on my $2000 in transactions per 7 days. I need to wait two days. Whoops!!

When you say that the limits for the TD card are only for the teen card and not the master does that mean that I could take out more than 60 from an ATM at one time?

Or if you have multiple teen cards, then you probably can withdraw the maximum allowed $60/week per teen card...
