Your TD Go account was closed on 06/05/2015. We regret to inform you that once all pending transactions cleared, you were not eligible for a refund.
As a result, we cannot issue a refund check.
Please do not reply to this message. If you need further assistance, please call 855.219.8050.
Thank you.

I thought such closure is after "12 months of inactivity". Manually closed at their end doesn't change much since I have no use of TD card now these days and zero balance anyway.
It was great while it lasted.

I didn't get shutdown, just got a "limit violation" error trying to create the 3rd teen. Nobody else has seen this before? I'm wondering if it's because I've been trying multiple credit cards to be my second loading card. Is there a limit to the number of times you can change one of the two CCs?
My other 2 teens are still auto-loading from my Citi Prestige and still works to unload to Redbird.

i used a citi exec card many times to load NW buxx and it always loaded as purchase, you always can set your cash advance with citi to 0 to elimnate a chance of CA.

thanks...is citi exec card a visa or mc?
I thought we need to have some cash advance limit for the load, otherwise it will not go through? i saw some folks were saying it is first posted as cash advance then became purchase??

You need to have cash advance available for chase cards. I know from experience.
Also added my own experience loading NW Buxx with Citi HH Reserve Visa.

Citi exec is MC, as answered above other banks require CA not citi, YMMV of course.

Deleted a Citi Exec card and replaced it with a Barclay Aviator card. I tried to load it and it wouldn't work. Exec was working. Any ideas? I have CA available on the Aviator.

Just a reminder that TD does CA with their own cards. I forgot and will probably be hit with CA fee according to CSP. Paid off TD CC immediately to minimize interest payments.

Are you sure about that? I just loaded mine, the purchases cleared and I was only charged the load fee, no CA.

Does BoA Alaska Airlines signature card will have CA fees while loading Visa or NW Buxx cards? Do I need to reduce the CA limit to zero?

First mistake anyone does with any CC is lower your CA to zero. It is absolutely unnecessary and if you make a mistake where you want to get your CA back...good luck. There are too many examples out there where sometimes the transaction initially charges with CA but posts as a purchase. Worse case you pay a 1 time fee for CA fees...big freakin whoop.
