Since I brought it up, figured I'd close the loop on this one. I called US Bank and went through a fairly short conversation that resulted in my card returning to "ACTIVE" status. Yesterday I went to a different WM and had no problems using my card. Guess I just got caught up in some temporary glitch last week, happy days again!

I'm having trouble adding my CSP to my NationWide account. Does anyone know of a reason? I'm able to add other Chase Visa cards, and I called customer service, and they said that there's no reason on their end for it to not work.
Edit: My bad. I didn't realize my CSP had a different billing address from the rest of my cards.

That doesn't make any sense? What errors do you get when you try to add your CSP card?

when signing up for multiple cards do each cards get their own respective UN/PW or is there a way to link all accounts to one un/pw?

Is there any word on how many teen cards is too many for NW?
I have 4 currently, and with 2 loads per CC per 7 days I can spend $4,000 in a month (give or take a few days).
Since I can have 2 CC's on file could I reasonably have 8 teen cards loading 4 with 1 cc and 4 with the other?

I tried searching through, but the words I'm using are too generic. I'm just wondering if it's possible to remove a teen from the parent's account. I may just be missing an online form, or it may be phone call only.

The idea of the teen having its own username is that the teen can monitor its own account by logging in without needing to go through the parent. Go ahead and try logging in as the teen username/pw and you will see that they can only see that individual account. However if you login as the parent account you will always see all the Buxx accounts. You are a big deal out of nothing IMHO.

for people using NW buxx i need some more info.
i jsut did a RC load using NW bux for 800.
is the limit 1,000 for the month?
or can i do an immediate load 800.00 to the NW wait a week and load RC again?
and if not can i wait a week a load RC the remaining 200 balance on nw?
edit- was able to do a immediate 500.00 and 298.00 load. when i tried to do 300 load got a maximum loads reached error.
edit- the 298.00 has not hit the card yet , the 500.00 posted immediately.
