Thanks for the update! Good to hear it finally works. Also thanks for the heads up about Barclays shutting you down for Buxx. Like you, I will probably still try it.

No new cards being issued but in case you got a card recently for any reason, here's how to create the PIN for ATM withdrawals. Just call the number on the back of the card, choose option 2 identifying yourself as the teen cardholder, enter the full card number when prompted, followed by DOB, then security code. Then, you'll be presented with a list of options including to create the PIN with double confirmation. No need to speak to a rep!

Worked for me last night to remove and add a new card. Just go to "add funds" for one of the teens then delete a card and add a card. You'll have to first delete any scheduled funding using a card to be removed though.

Is any amount "safe" with Barclay's?
Which bank's cards don't get as scrutinized?
I don't MS much just a little to meet my minimum spends or bonus offers. I did use Barclays last year for this same bonus but only sporadically.
Thanks for any advice. I'd hate to lose Barclays as I have 3 anniversary bonus aviators.

Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve, SouthWest Plus, SouthWest Premier. I've used all of them with Buxx and never had a problem.

I just need to make a spend on my aviator. I did check back on my last year's statements and I did load for 6 months using my other aviator.

Anyone else having trouble loading their Buxx cards with Chase? I haven't been able to load it with my Chase BA card. Gives me an error. On my Chase account, it immediately shows the $202 charge and then a $202 reversal after I try to load.
