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.

1 card won't load, but I'm pretty sure it should.
Not over the max load per day.
Not over max value on the cards in question.
Not over the max $5k monthly per funding card on either card used. ($1952.23 on one, $2939.54 pm on the other)
The one that won't load...
"Card A" has had $990.28 loaded in the last 30 days. (I vary the amounts.)
The others:
"Card B" has had $1951.11 loaded in the last 30 days.
"Card C" has had $1959.77 loaded in the last 30 days.
(Interestingly, Card B has a value load that I made outside the window by 4 days, but appears to have posted to the account 4 days later so it's inside the 30 day window. Likewise, Card C had a load that I recorded outside the window by a day, but must have posted a day later ... that one doesn't bother me.)
All unloads are at the same ATM. (Someone else who was shut down reported this pattern as well.)
I guess I'll see what happens when "Card C" shows it's ready according to the online register.
If anyone finds this data useful, that's great.
If anyone has any thoughts, I'm listening.

I know you cannot exceed. $2000 at any time for TD.
Also don't know what card you are using but I couldn't reload my Marriott as my cash advance hadn't reset. Once it did I was good to go.

Confirm the reset takes 3 biz days. 1st load on 8/11 for total of $998.85 but the reduction of CA was rounded up to $1K. Transaction posted on 8/13 but CA reset happened on 8/14.

I loaded mine with Chase Ink+ and the CA went down by $1001. I have to see how long will it take to reset (3 days or more). Anyone loaded with Ink +?

Is this the balance or the amount funded? What is the current balance on the card that won't load? How much did you try to load?
My suggestion is to 1) withdraw funds from the card down to about $50. 2) Use a new credit card to load 3) Make that load very small... like $100, and see what happens.

Did anyone try to use Chase freedom to load TD go card? I called Chase and reset my CA limit to zero today and am wondering if loading first posted as CA and changed to purchase later? if so i need to call Chase again to change my CA limit back.

It seems Chase initially treats it as CA when it is Pending. At posting, it is treated as purchase.
You would not be able to load with CA set to 0, same reason why Ink Bold cannot be used as Ink Bold is a Charge card, thus no CA limit whatsoever.

You failed to read the thread, even just the last few days as the Chase mechanism was discussed.

Just signed up for the NFCU buxx. Looks like I'll be able to generate 5K/month in spend with a 1.5% CC and this will replace the TD. Does anyone have experience with this version?

You can use your Navy Federal Visa Check Card or Navy Federal Visa or MasterCard credit card. We do not accept any other forms of payment nor any debit or credit cards issued from other financial institutions.
How are you going to MS when it seems the only card(s) you can use at NF cards?

Is anyone else having any issues with the TD Buxx paying Citi on the phone? I have never had a problem, and made two payments last week. I tried twice today and it failed both times on the phone. Doing a $1,000 payment, with $1,000 on the account. I tried $950 and it didn't allow it either. Bit worried TD may have killed this option, although the Buxx card is dead soon anyway.

Might end up having them close the card and refund it if this doesn't work. Or just buy a MO I suppose, probably easier.
