USB Buxx
(NOTE: stopped taking new applications ~mid February 2014 through the official link.
Current users can still add new cards.)
Also - Answer ALL the identification questions in your profile (not JUST three or four) USBuxx will sometimes ask you one of the questions, if you use the account on a new computer. HOWEVER - they are more than happy to ask you an unanswered question - talk about BROKEN! So, answer ALL the questions so that when you are prompted - you can answer any of them.
Do not load with any US Bank card as this will not provide points.

NW Buxx
Max # of CC on file for both is 2. Each has a max # of loads per card per 7 day rolling period (~3/4). If you card fails to load, first try to switch to another CC, second check to make sure there are at least 7 calendar days between loads.
Reports of Citi cards (at least Mastercard) coding as purchase for NW Buxx (Jan 2015), but YMMV.
- Initial purchase fee: $5 (waived with promo code: 02050053)
- $2 load fee
- Max load per day: $500
- Max load per rolling 30 days: $1,000
- The maximum Card value is $1,000.00
- Max ATM per week: ($200 - but only if specifically enabled online, including PIN setup). No fee for some Allpoint ATMs (no way to know in advance if the Allpoint ATM will ding you $1; check your account carefully and call if necessary to reverse the $1 charge…IME 2/3 Allpoint ATMs do charge the fee).
- Max spend per 7 rolling days: $800

Was able to successfully load 2 x $500 to my US Bank buxx card this morning. I think my issue was the rolling 30 day limit.

Can you get more than 1 TD card with 1 SSN?
Also this is my 2nd month having the td card but their '30 day rolling max' isn't 100% accurate. I think its a 20 day rolling max. After waiting 3 weeks i was able to load another 1K. I'll keep testing and report back if i have similar experience when available?

Just a question, in the wiki it said other free ways to unload (cash back for purchase, evolve bill pay, MO) but it's listed under the USB card . Are these methods only for USB cards or are they good for all 3 buzz cards.
Also, are MO really free?
