This is not true. I called again and was denied. Spoke with a manager, who cited a new policy in a memo released May 6th changing the fee schedule. She also claimed that the cardholder agreement i was viewing was outdated.

Aren't they supposed to notify us when they change the T&C? My withdraw was before May 6th and they won't reverse it.

I was able to get the ATM fees for allpoint network withdrawals refunded today for the past month's transactions. We shall see how it goes next month. I have to call in and request the refund of the "no-fee" atm fees each month. Never had a problem , but it is a PIA.

Does Buxx limit one unique CC number for all accounts? In other words, can both the original cc user and the authorized user use the same cc to load (on diff Buxx accounts)? I seem to remember reading about this, and I've searched both threads and can't find the answer. Thanks in advance.

I just got 13 fees refunded without any issue. They went back through the end of last year. Terms & Conditions on the site still say no fees at Allpoint.

questions
Couple of newbie question, after having read wiki and many pages of posts.
1. In Georgia, so signed up for NW card. As I understand it I can add 2 "teens" even if they arent technically teens, and thus can double the amount i can add to the card to 1k per day and 2k per month? Including using any cc except maybe citi?
2. Once loaded, it is unclear to me whether I can then unload by using the cards to pay off my cc account online. I see most people seem to unload by atm cash, but others seem to say you can pay of cc online, so clarification of this would be appreciated.
Thanks for your patience.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this as I just been using BlueBird but now need to look for ways to spend and make the first-time bonus spending for a Citi card and a AE card.
I read the wiki and some of the posts, it seems both the USB Buxx and NW Buxx cards are good for loading with Citi CC without any fees? Previously I loaded Bluebird with Citi CC but was charged cash advance fees.
So both the USB Buxx and NW Buxx will allow loading with Citi or AE CC ($2000 and $1000 limit respectively) and I can use the loaded funds to pay back the CC? Or I should have the funds pay the bill of a different card (e.g. Load USB Buxx with Citi CC to pay bill for AE but not the same Citi CC)?
Thanks very much for all the help. Have a wonderful day

Question, I just added a teen to USbuxx after having only one for 8 months. For those with multiple teens, do the CC companies not get upset seeing multiple charges to USBuxx? I have Barclay and Citi currently, but will probably replace the Citi with my chase when I close out the Citi AA card. I would do two charges to each card every two weeks. now it will be one charge each card, each week.
