You can overpay by a certain percentage (I think 10%?) of your last statement balance. This is true even if your current balance is below that amount. So if your last statement was $1000, you could pay up to $1100, even if your current balance is $800.

Has anyone been able to list a person as a teen under multiple parent accounts?

So thought I understood but I'm getting a "maximum amount of reloads reached." I funded on 5-19-2015 and 6-1-2015 using the same credit card. I'm trying again today with the same credit card to fund and I got this message. Anyone know why? I have another "teen" card on this account that I funded on 5-22 and 6-12 using the same credit card again. I tried adding another credit card that I never used to fund and it gave me the same message about maximum reloads reached.
