USB works fine for everybody.The consensus on the NWB is it works perfectly for Mamibear and it doesn't work for anyone else. This morning I made a load with Citi DC to my NWB - shows as "Mortgage/Financial institution". CA limit is zero - no problem so far. Will see what happens when the next statement cuts.

This is never a bad idea, especially with Citi, who seem to be notorious for coding otherwise regular purchases as CAs. They will tell you that once disabled, they won't be able to enable the CA feature on that account ever again. When you confirm this, it'll be effective immediately.

Whats the CB limit per day/week for NWBuxx? Assuming this works at any grocery store?

The limits are posted on the NWB site and in the Wiki. It does work at any grocery store but WMT has the highest limit with $100 back per purchase. Target and Albertsons for instance let you only take out $40 cash which would take forever to unload.

Sorry, I meant as clarification, CB counts towards the spend limit right? Or ATM limit still?

Dunno 'bout the spending limit. I never spend anything on this card except like $1 for a loaf of bread which I need anyway - just for the CB. It does count toward the ATM limit though.

Just applied for NWB and am waiting for the card. Has anyone tried asking for cash back at the pharmacy counter? I don't usually buy things at WM but do fill prescriptions there. I was going to transfer my prescriptions to another store. But if I can get cash back, then I may keep my prescriptions at WM. Guess that's the first thing to try once the new Buxx card arrives.

Is there a way to remove replaced cards from your USB account, either online by some setting I'm not seeing or over the phone? I have two cards that had the numbers stolen in the Kmart data breach so I got replacement cards. The cards that were replaced are still showing up in my account and it looks like they're counting again my load limits because loads made on the new, replacement cards are also shows up in the transaction history of the old cards and I'm hitting the $5k per CC per month limit when I shouldn't be. As you can see in the image below both the replaced and the replacement cards are showing up. The last card below I've been trying to load the last few days and it's erroring like it does when you've hit the load limit.
