One of my us Buxx has the same status MUCLOSED. I called US bank Buxx this Monday and the rep told me my card was closed at March 8 and she cannot find out the reason. She told me that I will receive a explanation letter from US bank soon. I am still waiting for the letter.

I also have status MUCLOSED on one of my teen cards... I noticed it a few days ago. Beginning of the end?! I'm not gonna call because my other cards are still open and I don't want to draw attention.

Yes, I have 2K locked in the US Buxx. I also have 1K locked at 2/25 redbird issue, Amex rep told me to wait for 45 days before I can ask for a status update.
So I got 3K locked by US bank & Amex now.

I called Amex at March 11 for the missing 1K on Feb 25. Amex rep told me to wait for 10 regular days. I called today again to check for the status, I was on hold for 20 minutes and the Amex rep finally told me that they still have issues to fix and asked me to wait for 45 days from March 11 before checking for new status.
Goodness, it will be April 25 before I can ask for a new status update.

Does anyone here have both USB Buxx and NW Buxx cards? Also when signing up for a NW Buxx card can you initially sign yourself up for parent and teen card? or does it have to be different just like USB Buxx?
