Usually get hit with a $1 charge every time I use the ATM, even though I only use Allpoint ATMs. Last called in to reverse the charges on 6/12/15. Called again today and told that as of 5/5/15 there has been a change to terms and conditions and that there is now a $1 non-reversible fee for Allpoint ATMs. Asked to speak to a supervisor who confirmed the new rule (previous reversal was done in error). She will escalate it up the ranks and in 4 days or so someone is supposed to call me back to let me know if I got a one time courtesy reversal.
Of course I never heard of this rule and the website still lists Allpoint ATMs as fee free. Anyone else encountered this?

Does NW buxx post as purchase (and not a CA) with Citi AA Exec? I know the wiki says multiple reports, but wanted to confirm as that was a long time ago. If I have my CA limit to 0, I assume the charge would be denied if it ended up being a CA?

yes, that's one way to find out. just keep in mind, there are some CCs that will post it as CA while pending but on final posting, it becomes a sale/purchase. if you're not sure, you can always do a 'test' load with a small amount so that if it posts as CA, the most you'll pay with be around $3 to $5 which you can consider as cost of doing business. make sure to pay it off immediately. if it's your first CA charge, you can ask them to waive it, which most companies will do, as one time courtesy.

Not cheating. I have 3 teenagers and am following all the rules. At one point used the ATM weekly. If there is now a fee, ok, will take that into account. Just don't like the rules changed retroactively, without notice, and applied inconsistently.

I wished I can find a WM BP place. I haven't been able to WM BP for any of my Visa/MS bills from 16 WMs within 20 miles radius since last December.

What in the world does that mean? That you value them and the other poster doesn't? That's obvious.
That you are actually willing to do the work for a dollar? That's ridiculous.

The takeaway is that this card is intended to be loaded with $50 per month to let your kids spend it 5 bucks at a time at the quickie mart. When you're loading/unloading to the max, it's silly to get eyes all over these accounts over a dollar...use unload methods that aren't ATM.

NWB/SERVE
Hoping somebody can help me out with a question about unloading NWB to Serve...
I was able to unload $50 to my Serve account with my NWB card at WM. Does this count towards the $200 ATM limit per week (i.e. I can unload only another $150?) or is it count towards the $800 purchase limit per week?
Thanks in advance!
