For those running Buxx, seems like lots of MO will be involved. Any recommendations on which bank to open a small business account with?

Or use BB to load 5k per BB card per month. Then bill pay direct.

Got my Buxx card today. I initially loaded $517 but now I realize that the US bank ATM dispenses in $20 increments ... is there a way to liquidate the $17 at the ATM??

Of course ... don't know what I was thinking.


So would you guys consider $2.50 for 500 UR points a good value or no?

We'll if you trade them in for cash it's trading 5.00 for 2.50...

I love visa buxx for two reasons, they are great for hitting min spend and since I have 6 cards I can generate 12,000 points/miles in pretty much whatever category I want for $60 per month. It's not the best exchange but the only effort I'm putting in is a stop to us bank ATM 4x per month then banks via drive through to deposit cash.

With high enough volume I believe it's a good deal.

WARNING: I started finding duplicates in pending section for Citi cards on TD Buxx loads. Today I found duplicate posting also :(

It will be tough to dispute a $1001 charge from TD Buxx to Citi AA card... given that spending on Buxx is again to pay back Citi card balance!

Funding History section with posted loads can be used to audit charges versus loads.

You know, I've only loaded with my Citi card once. The load went through but there's also been a pending $1001 charge on my account for a couple of weeks now.

I have a pending one on mine too after the initial charge has already posted. Maybe it's a glitch?

just liquidate it on Evolve, although that is mostly real spending

I've had this happen after buying VGC at OM with my Ink Plus. The charge eventually dropped off after a couple weeks. I was only charged once. Yes, I was a bit concerned, but everything sorted itself out. Just keep your receipts/paperwork in line.

Why're you giving warnings? Only time you should be doing that is when you confirm that there's a problem.

agreed-

I have this same issue for now, but i assume it will fall off once my statement closes.

I had this issue upthread a month or so ago - the pending charge drops after about 2-3 weeks or so, so that's the only downside to using Citi cards.

Stumbled upon this thread while being bored at work...seemed interesting until I saw that TX is not supported for the GO BUXX, however my parents do live in a state that is supported, can I just add one of them as an authorized user and change a billing address to my parents address on one card? Any downside in that?

The downside is changing your billing address to that house and what ever ramifications happen because of that.
