I signed up for NW Buxx 2 weeks ago, and added 2 teens then. Those teen cards were activated and have loaded $500 fine twice now.
When I go back to add more teens, I get "This order could not be processed: A limit violation has occurred."
I tried adding a second credit card, and got the same message. I can't seem to find a way around this, any thoughts?

I wish the wiki was written better and more thorough with stuff like FAQ. Anyways, quick question. Does each parent account have 1K limit or is it 1K per teen card (so teens on same parent account is 2K)? Thanks.

The 1K limit is per teen card and not per parent account. I am not sure why you think the wiki is unclear because it seems fine to me. It doesn't need a FAQ because all your answers are written in the wiki.

Thanks, appreciate your response. There's certain questions I had that I didn't find in the wiki, but found elsewhere. I just think (like anything else) that it can be improved.

And you've got people on here wondering why calling about a damn $1 ATM fee on the NW card is bad, sheesh.
