Anyone having issues logging in to NW Buxx this morning?
EDIT: This happens after I enter my user id. It comes up with a "System Error" message. When researching other Buxx options I got a "Site Maintenance" message from the same "visaprepaidprocessing.com" backend that NW uses, so I think it should just be temporary.

I don't post much but I've been an avid lurker for a while now. I haven't found the answer to my question in previous posts (although the same question has been asked over and over). Would someone please help?
I have a NW buxx parent account and I've added myself and my husband as teens under my account and I've done the same under his parent's account, to a total of 4 teen buxx cards between the two of us. The question is: How are you guys adding more teens? Is it a problem to add more teen cards that would have the same SSN and name under the same parent account? I can tweak my name slightly, but I'm not sure how what to do about the fact the SSN would be the same. Or perhaps, it's not something the NW cares about?
I'm also seeing people mentioning that there might be a limit to 5 NW buxx cards per address. Have others also experience and can confirm that?
Thanks!

Have you changed your name a little bit on these cards (you know, use an initial here and there), to mask the fact that it's all for the same person? Or, perhaps that doesn't matter at all, NW couldn't care less if people have multiple of these cards and I'm just being over zealous about it. Thanks again.

Yes withdrawing $200 from ATM is in effect spending your $800/wk limit. The system doesn't distinguish between "spending" at a store and ATM withdrawals. All the system looks for is if I have $1K balance and I withdraw/spend more than $800 in any sort of combination within 7 days your transaction will be denied.

thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate the help. I just want to clarify that you've applied for multiple teen buxx cards using your name and your SSN, all under your own parent account.

I tried to load my USbuxx card and a transaction was rejected. I did check a Wiki about limits:
-----
•Max load per rolling 30 days: $2,000 per card, but $5k per CC (if you have multiple teen cards.)
•Max load per rolling 7 days: $2,000 per CC including fees.
-------
I have 1 CC on file (cannot add another one - added/deleted too many times) and 2 teens a total. Here is a history of loading (including fees):
09/23/2015 $520
09/14/2015 $450
09/14/2015 $520
09/14/2015 $450
09/14/2015 $520
09/11/2015 $520
09/11/2015 $520
Total $3500 in 30 days. There is one load left (for $517.50) for one of my cards, but a load doesn't go through. I don't see that this a fraud alert. Any idea what is wrong?

NW Visa BUXX
2 different parents with separate profile addresses but with an authorized CC they all have the same billing address, mine. Hope I didn't screw the pooch on this one. If the order gets cancelled, I could call CC and change address to their HOR before trying a second order.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Edit: Called Barclays, they said the purchase from 9/22 is still being authorized. Its possible the account was declined due to the same billing address. Sucks, rookie mistake. I'll wait for the charges to drop before trying to create teens under 2nd parent w/the separate billing address.
It might be possible to change the billing address back to whatever you want after the cards are mailed/received. Hopefully someone with more success can provide some input.

NWBuxx: I had one teen's account which was closed last year. It is still showing as "closed" under my profile. Does anyone know if the closed account count towards limit of 5 per address?
Currently I have 4 active teens and one closed.
Also I assume you can still load serve at WM. Can someone confirm this.
Monthly limit of $1000, is that per teen account or per credit card?
