Yes, up to $800 or you need to split payment.

do you know why can't get 1% for the payment, loading to NW buxx will make double cash become single cash?

- NW Buxx does not code as CA but you don't get the 2nd 1% for the payment - only the 1st 1% for the charge
- I never use the NW Buxx for ATM w/d as it's a PITA. Unless you're very lucky you'll have to constantly call in and have the $1 fee reversed. A better way is to use the cashback feature at grocery stores (one bigbox retailer starting with "W" lets you take up to $100 along with each purchase!).
- US Buxx $500 ATM w/d per week is no problem at all

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.

What does "both" refer to here?

BUT, when my statement closed, Citi told me that I would (a) earn 1% back on my NW Buxx GC purchase, but (b) NOT earn the other 1% on the payment.

I don't know if Citi actually knows what they're doing (or how accurate the CSR was), but until I hear otherwise, I'm gonna go with another card other than Citi DC to load Buxx.

Not 100% sure but I think it's because Nationwide is coded as a financial institution and FI's are not eligible or something along those lines.

Look like 5K is still the max.

I just loaded 10 X 500 load within 2 weeks using the same CC.

I will try to see if 11 load works next week.

Thanks.

Also, I feel like they lowered the max per CC from 5k to 3k.


anomadtoo Mar 5, 2015 12:30 pm

Regarding the NW Buxx; anyway around loading more than $1k to the card within 30 days?

There is another option that is not covered in the Wiki. You can sign up for a card at Buxx.com and it's not branded with any of the banks mentioned.

Max CC load/transaction: $250
Fee/transaction: $2.50

So it's essentially a 1% fee to load. :rolleyes:

Buxx has a monthly fee - 5 bucks

Monthly Service Fee: $4.95 (per month, per Card)

February idiocy
 
Have 2 teens and NW Buxx cards are set to load automatically on the first and 15 of each month.

For some reason teen son's buxx card did not load on Feb 15. I didn't have time to call (always an hour on the phone) and let it slide. On March 1, son's card loaded but daughter's didn't. Called and was on the phone with them for 1.5 hours (1 hour rep, 30 min supervisor). Was told they would call back with info as why it didn't load in a few days. A week goes by and no emails or calls. Call again today. Turns out that their automatic load doesn't work in February as it ends up loading more than 1K in 30 days (Feb has only 28). Son's load only went thru due to the previous month's glitch.

Can't load now manually as that will throw off the following month. Caveat emptor...

i would appreciate if someone can tell me if TD CC earn points with TD Buxx loads?
Anyone have the TD credit card can attest to this either yes or no?
If you wish to Pm me that would be great as well.
The Wiki does not mention if points are earned....
Thank you

This is a request for someone to update the wiki. Even though it is 'all there' for someone to do the math, a simple footnote that says something like:

"warning, if you do 1st and 15th auto loads (only allowed on NW Buxx), your March 1 auto load will fail due to breaking the 30 day window. You will have to manually adjust Jan/Feb/Mar if you want to stay on a roll."

For 2016, you will only need to adjust Jan/Feb because you get 29 days!

Yes, TD Buxx loads earn TD CC points.

I ran into the issue initially on my USB Buxx of why it wasn't loading on 3/1 from my previous load on 2/1. I then thought ...oh yeah February only has 28 days and its a rolling 30 days. It didn't take me that long to figure it out. Yes February is an odd month and it does screw up the dates for the following months but ehh..what are you going to do. The best thing for USB would be to switch to a monthly load limit instead of stupid rolling 30 days.
