Buxx is a small play. A nice side hobby to save a trip to wm each month. :) Plus, there is no category or portal bonus, so it's basically for meeting minimum spend.

Yep, can't scale so I only use when I need a little extra spend to meet a points goal. Still, useful in conjunction with other tools.

I mean no disrespect, but you might want to rethink this. $2.50/$500 load means you can earn UR at $0.005 each. I used my US Bank Buxx as my vacation factory. We have seven domestic trips booked this summer (companion pass) all funded from my buxx before being shutdown.

Not in the wiki.. and I searched (and I know how).

Curious if anyone has experience to confirm:
Whether loading NW Buxx with USB Club Carlson (personal or biz) card results in points.

Thanks

I've been loading my NW Buxx with USB CC visa for 3 months with no problems and points post as normal purchase.

Thank you, vodkashine!

Ok ok I think that's enough. Let's stay a bit civilized and get back on track. We can keep the back and forth bashing through private PM maybe?

That is half the price of a OV, but no category bonus and low monthly limits. It's a good play, yet a relatively small play for me.

Btw, what led to the shutdown?

You are the fox. So I will leave the holes to you.

It doesn't matter. It isn't for you to hoard or share with who you think should have it.

If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have had it and I am happy to do so.

I am not greedy. I would prefer more people get it even now that I have it myself.

If you guys are afraid that to many people using something is going to make the deal end sooner then you should stop doing it. For every person that quits it would mean one more person can start with the load staying the same.

You are of course concerned for others right? It isn't just that you would like to limit it now that you are in on?

As one of the 150 that was shared this link in a pm from foxx, I am sad to see this end. I also believe this will lead to sizable shut downs soon as well.

Domat, do you think that every ms opportunity that is out there is being shared on ft? Of course not and it's not because foxx or others on ft are selfish and want to hide things from others. It is because when good deals get shared on a more easily accessible platform like a blog (I'm sure blogs are viewed much more than individual threads of ft) then tend to die quickly.

In this case it's sad because those could result in bringing us bank to the attention that the link was still accessible as well as the cards ability to be used as a money churning tool.

Foxx did nothing wrong in fact if say he went above and beyond as a good ft member!

Try it with a different browser. I had the same problem with Firefox but it worked fine with Chrome.

Lets get back on track and let it get buried in the thread.

no, I do not think every opportunity is shared but when the majority learn from the people unselfish enough to share it and have others improve on it then to see people who had nothing to do with figuring out lamenting its demise because others learnt about it after they did is a bit much.

Making fun of the person with the poster who shared the link as they did is wrong and ridiculous as well.

Everything could be sad. Maybe the 150 people who learnt of it from Foxx would be enough to have brought it down. Or maybe not. We don't know.

I would guess very few blogs have the viewership of a good ft thread like this. Especially considering many blogs point back to the thread.

Good call, so I used an ink card to load my nw buxx and now when I try to load with a different card it fails, I've tried 3 different cards matched billing addresses made sure there is room on the rolling 30 days and still it fails with every card but the original funding card. Any ideas to what I can do ?
