I tried getting some cash back using a USBuxx card and both times it didn't like the transaction. I am only talking $5 and $10 bucks when buying a big gulp. Is there a setting to disallow cash back? I read back a few pages and it looks like getting cash back should be an option.

I just got 2 different Citibank reps saying no more debit (NW buxx cards) to pay off Citibank CC. I was able to do it 2 days ago.
Anyone else experience this?

Was the wiki in the Visa Buxx thread unclear to you? Big bold letters with data point reported in April 2015 for the exact product you're asking about. I see no reason for a new thread.

*Sigh* Well my adventures at WM continue. The card that was declined yesterday morning has now gone into PFRAUD status this morning. Wish I had kept the receipt showing that both transactions were declined so I could send them in if asked, but alas I wasn't thinking about that. I'll call in and see what I can do, hopefully they can pull up my conversation with the CSR from yesterday and see that it was me trying to make the transactions.
Assuming the worst case scenario and the card is closed, how long will US Band hold onto the funds? Not worried about the float - just the frustration level.

So I haven't used buxx recently but was going to use it the other day and logged on to do a load. It showed my teens card as "closed". No reason why or anything.
Can I just "add" a new teen with the same information (my name/SSN/etc) and have a new card sent or will it not work because the teen on there now with the same info is marked as closed?

Unless you had it dormant for 90 days or more, it was me, I'd call first to find out why a teen card got closed. Then I will work on other options, if any.
