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 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.

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.

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.
