Once loaded to serve you could then withdraw at a moneypass atm for free or transfer straight to bank account...or simply pay the credit card bill right away.
OR we can also w/d for free from any AllPoint ATM located inside Walgreens.

Are you talking about withdrawing from Serve or Buxx (sorry, not sure which you mean since i referenced both in the past post)

with buxx you would still face the 1.50 charge from US Bank for the withdraw.
and of course with Serve you would still have to 2000/mo atm limit.

but it might be a convenience option if one of those is closer to you than a moneypass atm

^^^ This works.

edit: I speak too soon. I was able to get the CS to drop mine off. However, I can't get them to drop my wife's off. Sucks

I was talking about w/d using Serve card since we have a lot of WAG AllPoint ATMs around here. I have also USBank ATM for my visa buxx to w/d $200 x 3 in one day that I don't get charged @ their bank's ATM. I access it after banking hours when there are usually no other clients.

That makes sense. Lucky you for having USBank near you! I don't have one within 3 hours! I still got the buxx card because I can always liquidate it and pay the atm fees...doing that still comes out cheaper than buying gift cards..and is a lot simplier...so it's not free...but an extra couple of thousand spend is a big help when you need to meet that bonus.

...or just use serve if you have some of the limit left on that...or do a money order if you have not done a whole lot that month

So has the TD GO a viable/relatively cheap option for MS thusfar for people (at least meeting min spend)? Other than Citi cards, do all the other issuers code as a purchase as well?

How did you get a USA Buxx card?

Duffman Jul 9, 2014 11:44 am

Hi - thank for this. But the whole point is that the temp authorization sticks around for 3 weeks or so. Anyway to get around this? Also, I have noticed that when there are other pending charges (US Buxx for instance) the old TD ones have temporarily disappeared but that doesn't mean that have posted nor that the CL is reset to 0. Just Citi making us feel like we are ready for another go but we really aren't :/

Thanks, so should I go with USA, TD, or both?

just a caveat, this is a DISCONTINUED product so my unsolicited advice for you is to make sure the info you put into it is accurate or else pray that you don't have a problem later on because their customer service SUCKS!!!! you would not like to be caught giving fictitious info just to get the card; but as long as you don't have a problem, it is a good card to keep for MS.

Yeah, I wouldn't sign up with fake info. A few weeks ago I signed up using legit info and put my sister as the teen. Later on I put myself as the teen and her as the parent but I accidentally input one wrong digit for her social. A few days later, before the card even came in the mail the account status online showed that it was "Closed". About a week later they refunded the original load amount and the fees. I would just stick with using real info.

So wrong info for the teen does or does not matter as long as the parent info is correct?

I've only seen the account closed when the parent SSN was incorrect, not sure about the other way around.

TD is not available for me so I can only speak of USBVb

You guys seriously need to stop soliciting the use of fake information for teens.

It's rather appalling.
