Type in all the details of the permanent card again, and that's when I get the whole white page, with a single line text error message about Error 404.

SNIFU.

For reference, this was my fault. I was using my typical login ID, but I forgot I had used a slightly modified login for Amex Target (to avoid conflict with my usual Amex login). The strange thing is that it let me log in with that username/password, but just threw me into the strange Error 404 page when registering my card.

That's Amex's messed up way of telling you you can't use your usual Amex login to register Target card. They don't tell you you can't do that and I wanted to do that but kept getting that error. Calling in got nowhere as even US-based people are clueless. I gave up and created a new one.

You can unload $400 x 2 with single trip to ATM machine, that's the only advantage I can think of.

The down side is effectively the load limit is $4k with 2 cards unless you want to do $500 load for $3.

The daily ATM withdraw limit is $400, other than that I'm not aware of any limit. I have used the card for $1000+7.9 in a single transaction.

cool thks for confirmation!!
lastly, is there maximum $$ to spend? can you spend $2000 with this card if you have a balance over 2k of course.

I am reading somewhere about $600 max purchase, but I am not quite sure if this is the card or something else.
Cant find anything on FAQ.

thks in advance (again).

How so? Can't you load $1000x2 on one card, withdraw below $1500 and and load $1000 again on same card?

I was told by AFT CSR the load limit on each card is $2500 if you have two cards, and my last load of $1000 on a card that had $2k load already in 28-day failed but $500 went thru fine (card balance at $1300). So I ended up to load $500 with $3.

Did a single purchase of $2410. No problem.

WAWA just opened up on the road I drive home on from work. Went in and used their surcharge free ATM on both of my AFT cards.

Score!

I lived in South Jersey for a spell in the early 90s. The slogan then was:

At Wawas, we dont MAKE Hogies, we BUILD Hogies.

Of course being from MA, I was like. WTH is a hogie? lol

I grew up in South Jersey. Been in SoCal for 20 years. I will be sure to hit the WAWA on one of my visits. What is the max withdrawal at the WAWA ATM?

Just todays results
 
This may have been covered but I will share it anyway. Today I went in with my two cards and the SO's two and tried to load 1k on all four and only one for each of us worked. My assumption for the reason is that the 5k load limit per month is total per person not per card since I think I only had 2k on each up until today also it could be the 1k daily load is per person aka SSN per day not per card but I am guessing the first reason. I don't call and make waves with things like this and get red flags added to my accounts so I will just guess and go on to the next thing in the PILE

Yes, per person.
