For USB, anyone have trouble adding a Barclay MC (US)? I tried a couple of times, added a Chase VS after, no problems.

Thanks, I got it - too expensive.

Look at the fees and T&C.

You'll see why there's no talk of it.

But you're right, if you're getting 1% cash back from PP, then you're making $5 per $1,000 load vs spending $5 per load. And by having multiple cards tied to same PP to get around buxxx limit, that's downright genius.

bingo! Not sure if you caught this part. But Buxx is not the main reason for unloading PP although 1.5% is great by her own merit. The big reason for using PP is so u can buy loads from local retails that offer rewards programs on the front end.

Ie...I have a few grocery stores and gas station that offer $10 of gas or gc for each $500 loads I buy with CC.

I won't go into detail here. And please don't PM to ask me on this. I'm just giving you enough possibilities to do your own DD.

MSing is really exciting and profitable. Even if you are a low volume producer like me with under $30K a month.

I am not sure what Buxx limits you are circumventing via using PP to load to Buxx, but either way, I CRAVE using my CC because I want to meet min spends or hit elite status on my cards. To each their own, cash wise, we are doing fine with the set of cards we own that pay 5% and sure I get gas points and 5% - but my grocery store does not sell PP Cash cards. Still, I get those at other places and all is well, and still 5% - so like I said, to each their own in terms of effort level one is interested in investing and what they are looking for in terms of MS play

Does anybody know if us buxx has a limit on daily transactions?

I checked the US buxx T&Cs but can't seem to find anything about daily transaction limits. i have done <$1k transaction so far and would like to do around 2k at a time to minimize WM trips.

After the next buxx load in a week, I will do a test but would appreciate if anybody knows the answer.

I've done $2k transactions at WM before.

I searched through the thread but didn't really find anything. Is there a recommended ATM withdraw strategy to avoid a shutdown or are these like AFTs where there doesn't seem to be a problem with loading and then unloading them right away every day in a row until each card is empty?

do you live in an apartment? try reversing the line of your apartment and address in USB. Barclays usually puts the apt # on the first line.

Chase CS told me that on my Ink Plus card, both TD buxx and NW buxx were both coded as cash advance. Fortunately they did not go through for security reason..

Did anyone have the same cash advance experience on Ink Plus card? or other Chase card as well.

I read Citi will treat TD Buxx transaction as purchase. Is it true?

Thanks

After reading some posts, it seems that Chase codes it as cash advance first and then change to purchase? So if my CA limit is $1000, I cannot go over that when I load (including fee it would be $1001)?

Thanks.

Chase loads are coding as purchases for me on both my Ink Plus and CSP.

Probably should have added that. My Buxx are USB.

My cash advance limit is $1000. I forgot about the $1 so couldn't load $1000. I then tried $990 on my Chase Marriott and it went through. My cash advance limit was drained for 5 days before it reset.

Just loaded my next $999.
