Just count $200 every 7 days dude. Just know that 1/31 is the last day of loading. No you wouldn't have the max of $1K since that requires 5 loads per card which means 5 weeks. There are only 2 weeks left for you in this month for loading so the max you will have on those 2 is $400.

Good riddance I say! I have grown so weary of logging onto the website from the comfort of literally anywhere, pressing some buttons, then stopping by the 7-11 on the way to work to use their ATM for over 8 minutes at a time.
Though, seriously, the lousy phone support turned me off to all of their services. The only thing I've learned is that I will never use them for insurance and that they are definitely not on my side!

The website doesn't seem to be working. Anybody else with website problems? Phone system does work.

I hate it when people say good riddance as if it was a burden for them to have these cards. You know you could have called it quits and closed your cards at any time if you were growing weary of doing withdrawals at 7-11. Nobody was forcing you to continue loading the Buxx cards.

From where I live I could walk to 7/11 and unload my cards fee-free each week and then walk to my bank's ATM and deposit the cash. This method helped me meet my Fitbit step goals!
I'm considering switching to Kiva loans to meet minimum spend on my United Mileage Plus Card 10K miles bonus this year. I don't want to deal with money orders.
