Does anyone load NW Buxx to Serve via KATE? I tried today and it said form of payment not accepted...the VGC I loaded after worked fine. I know many see loading Buxx to RB/BB/Serve as a waste of the load limit...but I don't max out Serve loads anyway and don't have any Citi card to pay directly with the Buxx. Was this just a one time glitch with KATE, or will it really not work? I've loaded Buxx to RB plenty of times but this was my first attempt with Kate. Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Looking at the transaction history, I think I still should have been under the 800 limit. Maybe I just screwed something up or kate was being quirky. It's nice to know that it will work. I'll try again in a few days.

Anyone know if the teller withdrawal fee is waived at all banking institutions, or just USBs?

I signed up for NW Buxx 2 weeks ago, and added 2 teens then. Those teen cards were activated and have loaded $500 fine twice now.
When I go back to add more teens, I get "This order could not be processed: A limit violation has occurred."
I tried adding a second credit card, and got the same message. I can't seem to find a way around this, any thoughts?

Does anyone know if the teen card delivers to the parents address or the teens address? I put the teen address as different than my address.

So then is the grand max total per account $2K per 30 days? It's a little unclear to me in the description. If so, then why would I want more than 2 cards, or does it make it easier to unload?

the max is $2K per card per 30 days. However for a payment method you can only load up to $2K with fees per rolling 7 days. So you can load up to $4K/week if you max out both your payment methods. At this point, who the hell cares. The USB Buxx card is going to shut down in another 1.5 months for loading. Just do whatever you want.

I was actually asking about the NW Buxx card, probably not clear.

the only way to find out is for someone to try and they report results. It's not time for me to load any of my cards yet so I can't be the first to try.

There is not a grand max of $2k per account on NW Buxx. There is a per teen monthly max and a per credit card weekly max as described in the Wiki. If you had trouble adding new teens, then wait a week or so and try again. Also try adding a second credit card and using that one to do the initial load. Also make sure that if you are using a Chase CC, that you have enough CA limit.
