Anyone tried Add Family & Friends to use your family member's credit card as a funding source?

Has anyone had any luck recently with Arrival+? I just tried to add, NW website gives me an error or sometimes will just time out. $0.00 auth on the card.

So Visabuxx would not let me add Arrival if I used 118 Main Street - but then no problem adding when I used Main Street 118.

Buxx loading still fails regardless of how i input the address (did it the incorrect way with my apartment in the first address line, and also swapped it).

Thank you for the advice. This was the first thing i checked yesterday, though. Oddly enough, barclaycard had my apartment number in the street address field, and my street address in the "address 2" line. I switched them back so it looked right. I just checked again today, and they've reverted to the initial incorrect placement! So weird.

Is anyone else having a problem loading funds to their Nationwide Buxx accounts? When I go to their website to load funds, I get the "prom dress picture" which says that Nationwide has suspended sales of Buxx cards, but that I can use and load my existing ones. But then it doesn't let me continue to the page where you can do the loading.

A lot of the functions seem to be blocked or non-functional, like changing your login password. Bad sign?

Yup having the same issue as I was about to reload some cards. Hoping it's just some weekend maintenance... was able to load just a few days ago.

I had this several days ago. I logged out, deleted all cookies from the Visa prepaid domain, logged back in, and was fine.

Thanks...I didn't delete my cookies, but I did use a different browser and it worked. Weird though...Wouldn't work on Firefox, which is the browser I normally use. I tried Chrome, which I never use with NW Buxx, and it wouldn't work. I tried IE, which I never use for anything, and it worked fine.

added a new funding source and tried to add funds when i get the message:
"This function is temporarily unavailable while your account is under review." is it the end of the line for this account? i haven't used it in 5-6 months and this is the first new card i've added since then too.
