Does anyone have any experience with withdrawing from an ATM not in the state the teen is registered in? I put the address for the teen in my current location, but I'm moving in a month and I'd prefer to not register for another card. It seems like you cannot edit the address of the teen online and I'd prefer to not call CS to change it.

My address was recently changed, and I can no longer make a debit payment to Citi because of an address verification error. Addresses on my Citi and NW Buxx accounts are EXACTLY the same! Any experience or suggestion?

Anyone have luck getting an Allpoint fee refunded? I tried out a new Allpoint ATM Monday that charged be a $3 fee. I saw that there's a form to fill out when you get incorrectly charged an Allpoint fee here http://allpointnetwork.com/refund.aspx but I submitted my request Monday and still haven't heard back. I don't know how the online banking people can deal with only having access to Allpoint, it seems like every other one charges you a fee when it's not supposed to.

Citi has to internally update the address they have on file for your debit card. After that it will work fine.

while on vacay, I found a WM in orlando with a working kate. I loaded 3 buxx cards and w/d not even thinking it might get flagged since I'm out of state. I drained all 3 and paid no fees. Thinking back, since I loaded and drained at the same zip, that's probably why it went through.

Any allpoint ATM at CVS or 7-11 has been fee free for me.
http://www.allpointnetwork.com/locator.aspx - This is a good resource to finding allpoint atms in the city, or well anywhere

Any indication on the ATM tell you it's free? Because the CVS ones I've been to have had surcharge.

Yup, for NW Buxx. The ones in CVS I've used are the Santander ones. I go through the option to withdraw 200 and am never asked to confirm a fee. The transaction history on NW Buxx's only shows 200 being taken out and no other fees.
