Ok, I tried to load serve with NW buxx today, and it was a no go. It was at a kate, and I tried loading $100 and then using a different teen card, $90. Both teen cards have a $100 balance on them. I believe it gave me a message about using a different type of tender. Does this somehow need to go through the cashier? I'm close to just draining them on some regular spend and SDing them.

Ok, I'm thinking after reading through a ton of posts in this thread, I may have buggered up NW Buxx account. I created it about a month ago, but haven't used it yet. I loaded three different cards, but I think I may be asking to be shutdown with the way I set up the cards. They are
Card 1 -- My first/last name and SSN
Card 2 -- My first/mi/last name and SSN
Card 3 -- Spouse name and SSN
They are all three sitting there with the initial load on them. Everything setup fine. Anything to be concerned about? If so, any way to fix it (i.e. cancel cards, etc.)?

@Newgene: following on your post.
What's the result if I sign myself as both the parent and the teen for the NW Buxx? I can use a hyphen in the name of the teen but the SSN is the same...

I didn't know if having them setup that way would cause a problem that would be more likely to flag going forward. In that case, it could be better for me to close the cards and get different ones. I'm not too worried about it anymore. I just can't get them to work to load serve for anything. I may try them on RB and see.

My US Buxx card expires in September and I did not receive a replacement card yet. Do they send the new card automatically or do I need to request one?

Just recently got my NW Buxx. I can load with my citi double cash online and unload at target and walmart with redbird or serve, respectively, right? But only $200 unloads at a time? Also, what else should I watch out for using this method?

Just have to wait out the appropriate time to do the next 500 for the month.

Does NWBuxx card application require SSN? If so, is it hard pull or soft pull?
