Is this the sign up page for NW Buxx? https://www.visaprepaidprocessing.co...ages/Home.aspx
Also, should I use US Buxx to load my Serve online as a debit card? Will it be flagged? Thanks!

From what I've read, don't use Buxx for online Serve debit loads. I have never tried it but I do believe I've heard of accounts being flagged for using them. Hope this helps.

Quick question on the dates about loading my two NWBuxx cards.
8/13 signed up for NW Buxx
8/13 loaded $500 onto card 1
8/13 loaded $500 onto card 2
8/25 received both cards in the mail
8/26 loaded $500 onto card 1
8/26 loaded $500 onto card 2
8/27 unloaded $800 from card 1 to RB
8/27 unloaded $800 from card 2 to RB
This would be my next unload and load dates right?
9/3 unload remaining $200 each each card
9/12 load $500 on each card
9/25 load $500 on each card
Also how many more teen cards can/should I add? I also only have 1 CC on file to load from so far as well.

6.6K ms for $58
You can MS up to 2K with NW Buxx and 5K with debit loads to RB. Your limiting yourself to 5K by wasting RB loads with nationwide cards.
I'm trying to maximize RB load and total MS. You will pay more but you're still coming out ahead, especially if you just need to hit a spend.
If this is just for cheap and easy MS, 5k in NW buxx cost only 20 which is great value.

Credit report
Does this card show up on peoples credit report?
I used my brothers name to add an authorized user to my CSP 2 years ago and he called me up and asked me why this was showing up on his credit report.
I want to ask to use his SSN for 2 more cards, but I don't want to mess with his credit. Anyone have a data point on this?

Churning 2k for 8 bucks is pretty good, but why not churn VGCs 2k for 20$ and then pay citi credit cards or cash out at ATMs(800 per month for $4)

Due to the days that you signed up, I would suggest just setting your cards 1 and 2 to auto load on the 1st/15th. That way you don't have to think about when the next load date is. There is already an option to load every 1st and 15th. Set it to do your start load on 09/15/2015. I would suggest adding a second credit card and then you can at least double your teens. I find that adding more teens has had issues for me with dates and loads not going through even after 7/8 days since last CC load.

I'm trying to add Teens number 3 and 4 but I get the error of "This order could not be processed: A limit violation has occurred."
Why would this happen? I thought the max number of Teens is 5?

Anyone had any issues when signing up for NW Buxx? Added five teens and am seeing five transactions on the credit card I used to fund. However, my parent account only lists four teens.

I was thinking, what if the other parent account has a different home address, maybe that will allow another 5 teens?

Not sure but I think the address must match exactly the credit card you are using. I had trouble using one of my cards when I had TD go and I think that it was due to that problem.

Checked the Wiki but didn't see this addressed for the NW version. Are there any limits to the number of times I can add or edit a CC?

Add as Debit for RB Online Loads?
Apologies if it's been asked before (the Wiki could use a lot more info...)
Is adding my NW Buxx as a debit for online loads to my Redbird account a good strategy? I already load it with 5k every month in store; this would be in addition to that.
