Who cares. You don't ever use the teen username and pw anyways. Just login with the parent username and this isn't ever an issue. Yes put in a unique username for each teen user. I don't think it will allow you to enter the same username as the parent.
The idea of the teen having its own username is that the teen can monitor its own account by logging in without needing to go through the parent. Go ahead and try logging in as the teen username/pw and you will see that they can only see that individual account. However if you login as the parent account you will always see all the Buxx accounts. You are a big deal out of nothing IMHO.

Yes you are only allowed 2 cards on the parent account no matter how many teen accounts. Also when adding a new teen account it will only allow you to fund the account with your "primary" CC. So if you want to fund it with a specific CC out of the 2, make sure you set it as "primary" before adding it a teen so you ensure you use the right card.

You are capped at $1K/per 30 rolling days and max spend is $800/per 7 rolling days. Are you not reading the wiki because this stuff is clearly spelled out there 
. I may be helping you out here but it seems like answers you could have figured it out if you just took the time to read.

You can once you setup the account for subsequent loads. But on initial fund for some reason NW Buxx just only allows you to fund via the primary card. Its very simple to swap the priority of the CCs so I don't see this as a big deal at all. Just ensure the CC you want to use to do initial fund is set to primary before adding a teen and you'll be fine.

. I may be helping you out here but it seems like answers you could have figured it out if you just took the time to read.I uploaded 1K on 5/11 , transferred 800 to RC today, then was able to do an immediate 500 load, tried to also do a 300 load that looked like it went fine but funds have not shown up in balance yet. so now I have 700 that I can go back to RC in 7 days, correct?
since im new at this maybe I don't know what a rolling 1K month means.

I reiterate my question from before. If I wanted to hypothetically delete a teen from my account, would I be able to do so online, by telephone, or not at all?
Also, when does a "week" (for the purposes of ATM withdrawals) begin/reset? Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.?

Hmm just tried doing 2 loads on this new Chase United CC I got. First one went fine, I see $502 pending on Chase, but second one, NW Buxx is telling me "Your order could not be completed. Please try again or change your payment method."
Any ideas? Never had this problem with Barclays. Could it be because it pends as cash advance (so I read, how does one check?), the card ($5000 limit) is maxed out for that?
First times loading with this card, so no 7-day issue there.

Either move some limits into the United card or space out your loads.

I heard there is a 5 card limit for NW buxx even across parent accounts per household address. Anyone come across this to verify? Appreciate it.
