That's why I'm a little surprised by his shut down.

?? I'm curious abt this as well. It seemed like this shut down relates to a single person dealing only? Does this shut down apply to couple or family?
I mean, Parent (A) and teen (B) to start then adding parent as teen(A) w/out promoting a shut down of TD Buxx since u have at least teen(B) in the group?

Avoiding the slog through 156 pages, can you guys tell me if any of the Buxx cards allow online billpay to any CC companies?

None of the Buxx products offer online billpay.

No, it doesn't.

Just to confirm as the above resulted in a shut down.
So If I wanted to open TD buzz for myself only. I can still use same SSN for both parent and myself as teen then use my name as parent and just add a middle initial to the teen name to make it slightly different. That should still work right?
Ex. Parent: Tom Jones
Teen: Tom Y. Jones (same SSN as parent)

My info was:
Parent - John Doe
Teen - John Doe
So basically, used exactly the same name, and which resulted in the shutdown. Don't have experience with using John H. Doe but seems like others are having success.
I'll probably wait for more data points on this pattern before re-applying (as I don't have any teens/SSN)
Good luck!

Also same date of birth for the "three" account holders?

So then what's the point of Buxx cards? It has to be a pain in the behind to pay to load it, maybe pay to get the money out, and only get the points from your purchasing credit card??

low cost, no need to play store roulette to load your cards and easy liquidation techniques like atm withdrawals or buying MO (as they cards have a name on it, most WM employees don't raise hell like they do with GCs)

I have had a similar issue - determined (I think) it was due to a $6k load limit across all BUXX cards every 30 days.... go further back in history and see if this may be the case for you

Can't be that...Just opened these cards like a couple weeks ago.

G. Limitations on Dollar Amount of Loads. The initial minimum load is twenty dollars ($20.00) and the maximum is one thousand dollars ($1,000). You may load up to one thousand ($1,000.00) per day on Your Card, not to exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) per thirty (30) days. Your maximum Card value at any time is two thousand dollars ($2,000.00).
Are we sure it's $3k per teen and not $3k per parent?

It's not 3k per parent, as I've done $6k across two teens in the past 30 days.

Not sure if you were trying to stagger your loads 1 per week but you know you don't have to wait a week inbetween loads. You only have to wait a week to unload the last 1K if you already spent 2K the prior week.

Good point.
So, when filling out the app for both parent and teen being the same person and using the same SSN for both. Do you at least change the DOB for the teen or just continue to use your true age (real DOB) for the teen info?
