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

I'm pretty sure TD Buxx counts as having a TD account, so you have free access to Penny Arcade. Check the FAQ,

Has anyone had a NFCU Buxx debit transaction declined due to "excessive use"? Just happened to me at Aldi. I tried to get $100 CB with my purchase a few hours after doing a $400 ATM w/d. Weekly ATM withdrawal/cash back limit is $500 per week. Maybe the cash back plus the purchase amount made it decline.

Thanks. I tried it and can confirm that the TD Go card will allow you to avoid fees on the Penny Arcade. Teller said I could have to money deposited to my account or have the cash. I'm not sure the TD Go card would take a deposit in this manner, so I just took the cash.

Sorry for this was covered but I don't see this in the wiki
For USBank
1) How many cards are you have? What is the total across all cards per month?
2) Can I have me as parent and my brother as teen then vice versa under same address? If yes, does this count as 2 separate across for the overall card limits per month?

Thanks for the info. My last cash back transaction was 9/16, so it had been 8 days when I tried on the 24th.

FYI - found a USB Buxx workaround for how many new cards you can add as funding sources... My account has been stuck for 2.5 months saying I've hit the max allowed sources b/c you can only add 2 in 24 hours, 3 in 30 days, and 5 in 180 days.
Go to funding sources and EDIT the EXISTING funding source card. Worked for me. Still can't add new one's though.
Hope that helps some of you. On that note, anyone know how to find out when your re-set date is for adding new funding sources without calling?

Ok, I THINK I've figured out the trick. It seems even though their language is add or edit, their counters for the two are run separately. So, I've been exclusively using edit as my method of switching payment methods and it has started giving me that error. I just now tried deleting then adding, and it worked. You must have just been using delete/add, so after hitting the limits for that, switching to edit worked. Probably good to stick with edit until delete/add counter resets then toggle back.
