Buxx cards can only be loaded with a Visa or MasterCard.

NW Buxx

•Initial purchase fee: $5 (waived with promo code: 02050053 - ( the promo code appears to be working consistently)
•$2 load fee
•Max load per rolling 7 days: $500
•Max load per rolling 30 days: $1,000
•Max ATM per week: ($200 - but only if specifically enabled online, including PIN setup). No fee for some Allpoint ATMs (no way to know in advance if the Allpoint ATM will ding you $1; check your account carefully and call if necessary to reverse the $1 charge…IME 2/3 Allpoint ATMs do charge the fee).
•Max spend per rolling 7 days: $800
•Max # of CC on file is 2.
•Max balance per card: $1000
•Max of 2 loads per CC per 7 day rolling period.

If you card fails to load, check to see if there are at least 7 calendar days between loads, make sure the load won't bring your card above the maximum balance, or try the other CC.

Funding with Citi cards codes as a purchase for NW Buxx.
TD Bank Go Buxx

Not sure which Buxx card you have and the desired goal. For NW Buxx, under Manage Teens, there are Suspend Card and Close Card options.

I read an old post stating a week of ATM limit means seven days in between (rolling). However, I have not tested it myself having using it only sparingly.

You or an approved designated Gift Giver may load value up to 5 times in one month onto the Card. Upon authorization, this will cause monies to be funded into the Card and be available for use by the Teen to make designated transactions.


im only at 3 with a balance of 700.00 not sure why my last load of 300 is not going through. could be FA on the CC. but the error on NW says maximum reloads allowed or something liek that.

Anyone else is having problems recently reversing the $1 ATM fee from Allpoints machines @ NW Buxx?

Got mine reversed yesterday, but had to call in twice.

The first time they told me the terms &conditions changed &they would not waive.

I reviewed the terms and conditions posted online for my card and found that indeed Allpoint ATMs are still listed as free.

So I called again and spoke to another rep. She did say something in the rules changed as of earlier in the month, so she could see what the previous rep was talking about. BUT, they are still supposed to check the terms and conditions of the individual card. So she reversed the fee.

So um, can I register this card for myself and do the whole reloading for ms even though I'm 21 and have no children? Because for the nationwide bux thing there are two types of enrollments, one for parents, and one for family and friends. I'm not sure which one to enroll in. Otherwise should I ask my parents to simply make an account and then allow me to fund/ms the account by myself?

Also I know how the in-store credit card reload for redbird has been shut down, but this item should still work for in store reloads right? (not for online reload, since it's seen as pre-paid as stated in the thread).

For NWB, you can create an account as the parent, add a Teen card with your name, and fund the Teen card yourself.

Do you also have any ideas about the whole in store reload for the red card?

Also about the part below. Does it mean that only TD issued cards can be used to fund the card? I can't tell if it's td debit/credit card or td debit/td credit card. Sorry for all the questions. (NVM read the terms and conditions on td, and it said td issued cards only as stated here on flyer)

"We're changing how you can fund your TD Go Card. Account owners and friends and family members will only be able to load TD Go Card(s) using a TD Bank Debit or Credit Card, or by direct deposit. "

Works at my Target. They check to see if names match on RB, debit card and drivers license.
