I didn't see an answer to this so i did my own experiment using BofA card to load NW buxx, initially the load showed as CA online, it took 4-5 days then it posted as a purchase.

I am still confuse about the limit of NW buxx after going though many posts.
According to the wiki, the load limit is $500/week and $1000/month and the atm withdraw limit is $200/week. Is that the limit per card or per account?
If I add two teen cards, each of the card has the limit above; that is, total of $1000/week, $2000/month to load, $400/week to withdraw?
If that is the case, what is the maximum teen cards can I add?

The limits are per card. Also note the 30 day rolling period is important as well.

So the 30 day rolling period works how?
I loaded $500 on 5/11 and 5/20. Can I load another $500 on 5/10 and then again on 5/19? In other words, each individual payment has it's own 30 day clock?

It works how all rolling limits work. If in the past 30 days you have loaded less than the limit, you can load up to the limit. So yes, each individual $500 load has its own 30 day clock.

Why worry about a 30 day rolling period when you have a time machine. Just go to the future and come back. ^

But feel free to try on 6/10 and 6/19 to see if you are able to load. If you aren't able to load then you know that they are strict on the actual day. regardless of the month.

Anyone tried using Capital One's Spark Business Credit Card to load NW Buxx card? Want to make sure that it does not post as CA.

I just did my initial load and 1 reload to my NW Buxx with Spark Business. Both pended as a Cash Advance, but posted as a purchase and do earn cash back.

Second I am not sure if they factor in that certain months have 31 days or 28 days in which you can load on 6/10 and 6/19 since May has 31 days. I just assume that they don't factor in the 31st day for those months and are straight up on the actual day from last month. So that means I think you can load on 6/11 and 6/20.

I just ran up against the 5 card limit. Is there a way to determine when my 180 days are up so I can add new cc's?
Thanks,
Thanks,

That is what I figured. I remember my USB Buxx loading got screwed up because of the 28 days in Feb. Wasn't sure about NW Buxx since I started after Feb.
