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

Can you still load TD to Serve at Walmart even though you no longer can load online as debit? I can still load TD Buxx with a non-TD credit card but if I couldn't unload it to Serve at Walmart I'd be stuck.

Anybody having issues loading USBank Buxx with CSP?
I'm not near my 30 day limit or my CC limit and keep getting:
The request to load funds has been denied for the following reason:
An error occurred while attempting to add funds to your account. Please verify that the information you have provided for your payment method is correct.

Why waste your serve limits? Get MOs or do bill pay with the TD card.

I hear you but I don't see where you can do bill pay from TD Buxx and I haven't found it easy to deposit MO's in my banks. Too many questions. So, as I have plenty of room on the 3 Serves I manage to unload Buxx, I'd just as soon unload them that way. It is so easy!

You can do billpay at Walmart using a debit card. Check the FT thread on it. You can also find a credit union that doesn't ask questions about MOs for bank deposits. I have 4 Serve and 4 GB accounts and still do a significant amount in MOs every month; there's no point in not adding volume where you can.

I have the same issue with my Capital One Venture card. The card has enough Cash Advance credit to load but came up with the same error.

I just started using the NW Buxx, I have 3 of them.
I've done a couple of withdrawals from Allpoint ATMs, and am getting the $1 withdrawal fee.
The wiki says call to get it removed.
I don't want to call if it's going to attract attention, though, so I need advice:
Does anyone call to have it reversed, or do you look at it as the cost of doing business?

All my banks allow deposits allow MO via ATM. USAA allows it through mobile deposit, and credits instantly. It makes makes sense, as it's the only way you could deposit cash into your account since there are no branches. If you want to make use of the online debit loading I would suggest the PayPal Business Debit. Just read the thread carefully so you know what to avoid doing with PayPal.

- Unloading $500 via ATM takes 3 withdrawals over 3 weeks, and either $3 or 3 phone calls.
- Unloading $500 via money order takes a few minutes while you're at the store anyway, and costs you maybe $1, tops.

I believe $200 is the max withdrawal on NW Buxx. Is there a workaround to that limit?
