Your buxx account will likely get locked down after just a few card changes, regardless of whether it is VGC or not. Most of us think hard and long prior to changing the funding CC account on buxx. Plan on getting your VGC liquidated via in-person bird feeding and MO.

You know... you should have thought this out prior to getting that Amex card.

I looked at the Citi DC thread a couple of days ago (I am considering picking up this card), and the consensus seems to be 1% on loading but the other 1% upon payment doesn't post because it's a "financial" transaction.

So uh I just want to confirm this to make sure. You can only have a maximum of $1,000/mth loads on the teen card right? The $1,000 doesn't actually apply to the credit card, but only the teen cards. It would then take me two weeks to load $2,000 total right?

this may apply to NWbuxx but for USbuxx, I've used it as funding source for 11 months now and have gotten the full 2% since I pay all my balance before statement cut.

Just got NW Buxx and it seems really unreliable. I read the wiki saw that 2/3 of of AllPoint are hit with a $1 fee but that you can call and have it reversed as long as the ATM was in fact AllPoint. Used my Buxx for the first time and was charged a $3 fee ($1 service fee + 2 x $1 balance inquiry fee, which I never did). Called NW and they are completely useless saying that a week or two they changed their T&C to say that a $1 "program fee" would be charged for each ATM use. Not sure how they can get away with this since you can call it whatever you want but by definition it's a surcharge and it specifically lists AllPoint ATM's as surcharge free. I haven't been following this thread more than a week or two but didn't see anything about this in the last few pages....
Do MoneyPass (the other network it says is surcharge free) ATM's have the same issue as AllPoint?

I have tried recently to use the search functionality to find this out but can't find an answer so I will just ask 
Can anyone let me know if Bank of America Alaska Airline card posts as purchase or Cash Advance on USBuxx?
TIA
