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

Can I use my teen card (I am the "parent") to pay my own Citi cc? Names on Buxx & CC are different.

It doesn't matter what the teen name is on the card. It matters what the parents' account info is. I've paid off Citi cards no issue with teen cards that are in other people's names (parents/SO) but those cards were under a parent account in my name with all my info (billing/SSN/etc).

Not really. I have used the teen DC to pay off Citi CC under the teen's name.

I'm pretty sure as long as you tell Citi that the debit card is in your name and give the right zip code for the relevant Buxx card's number, the payment will go through. Just don't tell Citi the debit card is in someone else's name or they're going to ask that the other person get on the phone/line and authorize the payment.

Are there any watchouts or hiccups using a TD GO card to buy MO's at WalMart?
Got a TD card last week and funded it. Bought two MO's - two different WMs - with no problem earlier this week. Tried for a third yesterday and today with no luck. One at a WM that didn't work yesterday, and one at a WM I've not used before. (Yes, there was enough money in the account.)
Wondering if there's a max transaction amount per week or similar? Or maybe the amount loaded just the other day is still "pending" on the TD GO? It's hasn't hit "posted" transactions on my credit card yet.

Oddly,there's no mention of this point in any of the TD GO materials or website.
PS - seems "transactions" mentioned above does not include ATM cash withdrawals, as I was able to pull $60 out, which put me over $2000.

Merely pointing out that this information is not codified anywhere. May well be true, but suggesting that someone "look harder" for information that is not there, and/or posting irrelevant citations is less than helpful.
