This is NW Buxx.
Added 2 last night. Third failed.
Third failed again tonight.
Looking at CC transactions online. yesterday's 2 successful transactions are there. Today shows 500 and -500. So, it seems to me that NW sent it through and NW reversed it (vs. Chase reversing it due to a fraud alert). I usually get calls moments after fraud suspicion is involved. I have no calls.

Also, the names, DOB, SSN, addresses are all real valid people. No dups.
I saw 'don't go too fast' but 3 different valid people doesn't seem all that fast to me. Not if you have 3 teens that you want to set up.

The biggest problem is their crappy error messages that tell you nothing other than 'an error occurred.'

If you have log in problems, click the log-in help at the homepage and follow instructions. be warned that their customer service is of NO HELP. You can avail of TWO PHONE CALLS for free each month and the rest, you will be charged fifty cents whether or not they can help you. You will just be aggravated when they tell you the same thing you've already done under log in help. That's the most they can help you. My SIL had this problem when she could not remember her log in info and created the teen account which was useless for her; she went to the extent of asking for assistance from the USB branch manager and he couldn't help her also.

IME, when using USBVB for MS activities, there's no need to create a teen account log in. the teen account log in is just optional ;)

Thanks :) All good now. That was tough to figure out haha

Submitted a $999 payment using Evolve.
Got an email from TD that the transaction was declined, but it's pending on TD site, and still pending on Evolve.
I haven't gone over my $2k per 7 days

Any idea?

Just an update on this...The transaction went through fine. Must have been a glitch in TD's system.

Do you have any loads already pending? You've likely either hit your CA limit and have to wait for the pendings to clear or you have already hit the limit for those cards. I loaded $1000 to my TD on Sunday with Ink and it went through fine.

Just tried signing up for the TD Go version: Seems like terms are changing on Sep 3, 2014:


Beginning September 3, 2014, we're making changes to the TD GO Card program.
•We're decreasing the reload limit. We're reducing the per-day reload amount from $1,000 to $500. Rest assured, your maximum card balance at any time will remain at $2,000.
•We're changing how you can fund your TD Go Card. Account owners and friends and family members will only be able to load TD Go Card(s) using a TD Bank Debit or Credit Card, or by direct deposit.


I guess this means the TD Go card is dead now for MS?

Is it possible to use same SSN on the US Bank Buxx card for both parent/teen account?

I wouldn't mind the max load decrease since 1 dollar is still really low. TD CC only now obviously kills it. I guess I'll sign up for a bunch in August and use it while I still can. I wonder what will happen with CCs already one file on the account.

Can you tell me where it says that? I just checked and it states you can load with credit cards

Try signing up for a new card, and after you enter your personal information, the system asks you to accept these new terms.

Is it possible to sign up for US buxx or NW with just one SSN? Same SSN for parent and teen?

I don't have NW, just USB and I put in real SSN for my teens. It is your judgment call whether you'd put in real SSN but pray you don't have any problems later that will put your account under scrutiny. I wouldn't advice same SSN as parent, much more fake SSN, but it's really up to you.

NW you can use the same SSN for both parent and teen. US Bank requires that you use two separate SSNs. Go with your comfort level for the level of "realness" for the information for the teen, though certainly in the US Bank case, the person's age (real or not) needs to be above 13 since I recall that they do validation to that extent (though nothing else...). I may be conflating the experience with TD Bank though since it's been around a very long time since the last time I requested a US Bank teen card.
I've had issues with one card on an account I created for my mother, and no teen information was required of me except the parent/account holder's information - which is validated anyhow so if you mistype anything there you're likely to be shut down pretty quickly.

Long shot but maybe those of us already signed up will be grandfathered at least for a while longer? In any case, no complaints as it helped me hit the minimum spend on a few CCs.

Edit: Nope it looks like existing card members are impacted too. After logging in at the main account screen click on terms and conditions at the bottom of the screen and you should get the following (lol I love "the back to school gift" don't do me any favors :-) ):
