I'm having issues across two NW parent accounts and would like some input
I have an excel spreadsheet that auto calculates 30 days between funds and adds an extra day for safe measure
Account #1 -
Teen 1 = 7/2 + 7/18
Teen 2 = 7/3
Teen 3 = 7/10
Teen 4 = 7/10
Teen 5 = 7/14
Based on previous month's load pattern, I should be able to load Teen 2 & Teen 5 today, but I keep getting "max load" error
I also keep track of the accounts on file and I should be able to load. I tried changing to a different CC and this also resulted in the same error
Account #2 - brand new
Teen 1 = received card with $500, activated it, tried to load, same error
FWIW, this is all on Barclay mastercards. any input? I will, of course, try again tomorrow.
My rules are:
$500 per day max load
2 loads per CC per day
4 fundings per rolling 7 days
$1k rolling 30
has something changed?

However, looking at what you have typed "2 loads per CC per day" the Wiki says, "•Max of 2 loads per CC per 7 day rolling period." Could that be where the problem is?

Don't know about the rest, but FWIW I just did a $500 load NW Buxx using my Barclay Arrival Mastercard - no problems.

does anyone have a US Buxx where they are signed up as the parent and also signed up as the teen?
I would greatly appreciate the help from the more experience people here.
I am NOT interested that NW can do this just US Buxx

I use Barclay as well but this is unlikely to be on the Barclay side.
Are you able to load this morning?
