- NW Buxx does not code as CA but you don't get the 2nd 1% for the payment - only the 1st 1% for the charge
- I never use the NW Buxx for ATM w/d as it's a PITA. Unless you're very lucky you'll have to constantly call in and have the $1 fee reversed. A better way is to use the cashback feature at grocery stores (one bigbox retailer starting with "W" lets you take up to $100 along with each purchase!).
- US Buxx $500 ATM w/d per week is no problem at all

Your questions are a bit vague so I'll try to answer in the only way which makes sense for me:

It depends on the cashier. In my goto W, there is a cashier will ask for my ID and check with the debit card I use to make sure if I am the debit card holder every single time. Luckily she is the only one, I tried my best not to step near her counter as far as possible.

Chase Marriott Card
Has anyone had any experience with the Chase Marriott card to load a Nationwide BUXX?
I have this and a Serve, and was thinking I might use this new card to load at least one of the two.

Did anybody here have the NW Buxx card and had it SD'ed for more than 6 months? I'm asking because since the Evolve devolve I have no current use for this card. In the T&C it says
So what happens when I have a $0 balance on the card and the 6 months are over? It just stays at $0? I know I might as well cut it up and cancel the account but who knows what kind of gig might come up a couple months down the road...
Inactive Fee: $1.00 per month (after 6 consecutive months of no transactions, the card will be charged $1.00 per month until the balance is depleted or make another transaction)

FWIW, I let my NW Buxx sit for just over 6 full months with no activity and a small balance, and never saw that $1 inactivity charge. I finally did use it last week, in month 7 since the previous activity, so I don't know if their systems just didn't scan yet, or if they wait until after the 7th month.
In any case, if you have a $0 balance, it won't go negative from inactivity fees, since it states it only charges it "until the balance is depleted."

Tried loading NW Buzz with Ritz Carlton Visa for $500. No go. The cash advance limit is set to $100.
Is this like a SERVE, where the transaction goes through as a cash advance, but posts as a purchase?
so do i need to up the cash advance limit to $550?
