If you have 1 favorite ms card, you can make an au, assuming that type gives a different number for each au, and use x2. Sorry if I'm being captain obvious.

Well I know that I certainly was not able to load $2K on the same CC per 7 days. Maybe you might not notice it since your loads are probably spaced out and perhaps you flip flop between your different payment methods so its masking the issue. I am not talking about doing $2K max across all Buxx cards.
Just did 4k across two ccs today, and will do another on the 25th or so. Been doing it that way for months with no issue.
2k is definitely do able, whether you can go above 2k in 7 days though...i'll update when i do my next set

I load 4k on two ccs in one day, and another 4k on the same cards about 3 days later.

That must be related to the charge initially posting as a cash advance on your CC and your CA limit is low or something. I can load $2k to a USB Buxx in less than 2 minutes.

Unfortunately, many, many cards use the same number for AU cards. Most Amexes don't (Fido does) but most non-biz V/MC do.

If you're willing to take a hard inquiry and have good annual income, Barclays will pretty much give you whatever CL you ask for IME. I was initially given 15.5k with Arrival+. Asked for $30k and it was granted it instantly. I was given 9.5k with US Airways (now Aviator Red) and asked for 20k and was granted it instantly. As I said, each CL increase request resulted in a hard inquiry but it was worth it for my MS strategy.
