Has anyone recently tried to load NW Buxx with a Citi TY Premier? Did it post as a purchase? It seems like it should based on the Prestige data point in the wiki above but just wanted to know if anyone could confirm that the Premier also codes as purchase. Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much for the response. I guess it is fairly safe to assume that the Premier will post as purchase if both the preferred and prestige are posting that way. It's a shame that the bonus points aren't given but still nice that Citi seems to have loosened up on charging these as cash advances.

On a side note, I will receive only 1 card, right? for my registered "teen" but not for me as parent? To get one more card, does use of same SSN works?

It was NW Buxx.. I guess problem was due to my chase Ink plus.. I lowered CA limit to $100 and when I was trying to do initial load of $500, it was not going through. So, I tried with $100 initial load and it went through fine.. Now, waiting to see how that gets posted on my chase account... I hope not as CA..

How safe to use Bank of America's Travel Reward card for funding of NW Buxx and US Buxx?

You can use the same SSN number for both parent and teen. That's what I did for my NW Buxx. I registered someone else in my household as the teen at first, then went back in and added my own name. Got two cards with two different names and used the same SSN throughout the whole ordeal.

I feel like I've read the answer before but can't seem to find it again...so sorry in advance if it is a dumb question. For NW Buxx, does the initial load on a new teen card count towards the 30 day $1000 limit or am I able to REload up to $1000 in the first 30 days? Thank you!
