No strategy needed. Just load and when card is funded you could take out from ATM, but only downside is the small weekly limits some cards impose.
Like the TD Go card that only allows a measly $60 A WEEK. So if you had $2000 loaded into the card will take forever to withdraw from the ATM:(

Thanks.

Dont recall Chase doing this as I seem to remember only Citicard had this issue but falls off as a purchase about 2 weeks later (except cant use Citi with NW as this will definitely code as CA).

I also have the Chase Ink card but never linked it to my TD or NW buxx before so dont have personal data with this. Perhaps others that have recently use the Ink card with TD or NW can help answer this.

Also, dont see anything new on the Wiki above about Chase cards (Ink or otherwise ) having problems with loading into any of the 3 Buxx cards.

I had my Chase card post initially as a cash advance and then ultimately as a purchase.

I've got USB so I should be able to unload $2K in 4 days. It just sucks I don't have any USB ATMs near by. I do, at least, have fee free ATMs, but USB is still going to hit me with $1.50 per withdraw or $15 per each $2K.

Any reason you don't want to do the walmart route of Billpays or MOs instead?

Not in the Wiki but what is the daily/weekly debit limit for the US Bank VBuxx card?

I actually just did 3x$200 withdraws on both my cards and did not get charged any fee so it seems like MoneyPass ATMs, or at least the ones at Wawa, also don't get hit with the $1.50 fee. In that case it makes sense to just do ATM withdraws since it doesn't cost me anything (Wawa ATMs don't charge a fee either) vs. MO or BP.

Couple data points:

- I used by TD card to pay $1500 on my citi card over the phone
- Attempted to load $1k to my BB at Kate, but it was rejected
- Tried it for $500 and it went through fine.

It's pointless.
Only able to load via NFCU cards.
I'm sure if you fund via CC it'll be a CA.

What about using Visa Readylink locations? What their limits? I couldn't find any details.

Anyone try the new Hawaaian Air Barclays (either Visa Buxx or TD)?

Barclay Arrival MasterCard works with TD Go. While your money may vary... I can't imagine why a different Barclay's MasterCard wouldn't work.

Citi CC->TDBuxx->Citi CC?
 
Anybody using a Citi CC to load TDBuxx and then using it to pay off the Citi same CC? It's very tempting, but I fear it will set off alarms. Love to hear if anyone has been doing this successfully. Also considering loading TDBuxx with a Citi personal CC and then using TDBuxx to pay off a Citi Business card. That route seems less risky.
