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

VISA Buxx
Just happened to me too with TD Buxx. Annoying. This is a debit card. My credit card load to Serve with Fidelity Amex worked as usual though.

Yup, likes like Visa has caught up to us. I had to call in for my Buxx and i was transferred to a supervisor who then told me that i can't use my card for "cash transactions" like that.

I did one $1,000 load to BB at the register. There were a couple posters up thread who mentioned BB not loading.

That is why your transaction online rejected. Not only NW buxx, but many other credit cards have similar issues now.
The other guy were talking about loading BB in walmart.
So it is not the issue about whether it is serve or BB. It is about whether you do it online or in store.
Don't call before you investigate anything here. It will only get you being paid more attention on these "cash transactions".

i had trouble at the end of the month
loading onto serve from USbankVisabux at WM, then the regular girl was there, and low and behold, it worked fine. so either something was going on at the end of the month, or something changed at WM. I did call US bank and they told me it was not on their end and that WM was rejecting the payment.
last two days, have had no problems
