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

It's more efficient to taper $500 Bpay/WM/MO twice per card on opposite ends of the month since there's a rolling 30 day load limit of $1000.

I wouldn't bother doing ATMs if Bpay or WM is an option.

Theoretically the ATM would be ideal for me since AllPoint ATMs are everywhere and SUPPOSE to have no fees. But im gonna start going the $500 BP/MO route since i havent made an ATM withdrawal yet that i haven't had to call to get my $1 back. Really wish the USBank would start issuing cards again.

Does anyone have problem to load NW buxx card? I always get 'maximum number of reload reached'. I only has one load in last 30 days and I even use a new credit card.

Normally I use WM to unload buxx via MOs. But the closest Walmart has had a broken MO machine for the last three weeks. So I called around and found a Lucky grocery store that took debit cards for MOs. Went over, and each time the transaction was rejected with 'exceed available funds'. I tried a full $2K and a $1K transaction. I didn't go down to $500. The only thing I can think of is the transaction was being coded as a cash withdrawl and hit some type of limit? I could do $2K all at once with Wal-Mart.

Do a small test MO with your real debit card. See what the transaction shows up as.

As far as I know Lucky is hard coded for no money orders
with debit cards or at least with gift cards. I got lucky the first time I tried and the CSR, frustration when my GC wouldn't work, hit the credit button on his side and I got the MO. I tried several more times and could never suceed with a debit card and couldn't convince a CSR to hit the credit button. I'm in North Bay, Sonoma County.

My Visa Buxx card from TD no longer loads to my Bluebird. I called and they said it was never supposed to have been that way and they closed that loophole. The agent said I could withdraw cash at All Point ATMs for free, but it still charges the $3 fee. Anyone else have that issue? And the max withdrawal is $60 per week!

Is there a way to just close the card and have them write a check for the remaining balance?

Strange thing happend with my US bank buxx. The existing funding source which has been working for months today stopped loading from Paypal.

Interestingly, on one buxxx account it still works with my pp.

On another buxx account it would not load using a second PP account. that same account also would not load using a Greendot debit card but would load using my regular banking debit.

Strange things are happening with Buxx but hopefully when I try again in a few weeks thing will revert to normal.

You may want to check if you have reached $2000 (30 day rolling) load limit.

It's not the 2k load limit. It works with another PP. The US bank system seems to be a hit or miss.

I tried to load this morning but received this error "Funds cannot be loaded to the account at this time because the minimum load amount would exceed the maximum allowable card balance." I only have 5 cents on the whole account.

Read the wiki. The answer to your question is there.

Been having issues with loading my CSP for the past 2 weeks; and no I am not at maximum loads on account or the CC itself.
