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

Has anyone tried load any of the buxx cards with an amex gift card? Thinking about getting a TD bank buxx card. Also, do people use the card to load BB/Serve to load online or at WM? I know loading BB/Serve onkine with a gc is a no no, but was thinking this would be fine since it is more like a debit card (although it's not linked to a checking acct so I'm not completely sure).

I use my US Bank Buxx card to buy AmEx GCs, then use those to buy VGCs, that I use to by MOs, which I use to deposit into my TD Go account, which I use to fund my BB, which I then use to load funds to my US Buxx card. Simple...

I live in NJ where there is no USB, so has anyone used Moneypass ATMs to unload USB Buxx? How about fee free ATMs at Wawa? There are lots of Wawas around here.
What is the worst case? I have to pay the ATM fee of $2.00 and USB fees? Is the max withdrawal $500 per day?

Don't have the answer to your question, but why don't you just get TD?

I just got my TD, so was planning to add USB Buxx to my arsenal. TD ATMs are there, but its only $60 a day I believe, please correct me if I am wrong.
I need a clear unload plan before I get USB Buxx, and the local WM is impossible for BP/MO. So looking for Moneypass ATMs.
With my new TD here is my plan,
day1 - load $1000
day 2- load $1000; and then flush out the $2000 balance.
Can I load the next $1000 on day 3, or do I wait till day8 (because of the 7 day limit?).

And just an FYI there should be NO question about MOs at WM with a Buxx, they're legit debits.

Wait until day 8 to load the 3rd $1K. What's your plans for unloading? If metas are done at WM as well I'm just going to feed the bird, if the metas aren't done at WM (waiting for my GCM order to come in to check for myself) then I'll just do MO.

Are buxx legit debits at WM? With me going with a card in my teen's name?

Lots of NJ folk on the forums here, myself included. They shouldn't be asking for ID for a PIN based transaction. I don't have any recent data points myself but it really shouldn't be a problem.

Can anyone confirm if the Us bank Club Carlson Personal Visa and a Citi business card can be used to load TD Go. Does cash advance have to be set to zero or not because I have seen conflicting info. Also can NW Buxx be loaded with Us bank Club Carlson Personal Visa ? Thanks

Do not load with a Citi card for NW Buxx.[/I]
-----------------------
Seriously? With NW Buxx you can load and unload $1,000 every 30 days?
In 90 seconds you can buy $1000 in gift cards at the grocery store, walk 20 feet to the customer service counter, use them to buy a $1,000 MO, walk another 10 feet to the ATM and deposit the $1000 in your checking account.
