Is the Wiki correct that Citi codes as CA for NWBuxx?
I thought that was proven wrong here and there throughout the thread, and it codes as a purchase for USBuxx, TDBuxx (R.I.P) and NW.

I can personally vouch that my Citi DoubleCash Mastercard did not code as CA for NW Buxx, but someone else can change the wiki. I don't want people to get hit with CA fees if its a YMMV situation.

if you have an account at a branch with a friendly manager, try asking him/her. My GF was able to submit her applications through the branch manager way after online submission was disallowed. In other words, you need connections

I used a Citi Master card (Premier pass) and it coded as a cash advance last year. So YMMV.

Frankly, that didn't make sense to me given (a) I would think it'd be easier to track and exclude on the "purchase" side and (b) the missing amount was $0.71 which translated to $71 of payments when the NW Buxx loads were always $502.

Problem today with NWBuxx.
1/14 paid $2500 via phone to Citi HH using NWBuxx.
Today 1/17, tried twice to pay Citi TY $500. Both failed.
I have $500 balance on NW. No clue what Citi is saying it didn't work.
NW doesn't show a failed traction.

How did you pay $2500 to Citi? NW Buxx has the load limit of $1000 and spending limit of $800/week! Did you use multiple NW Buxx?
