It's not related to 180/30/1 day rule, not limited to a single Buxx account.

I was able to add the same Visa to Nationwide Buxx, works as a purchase, puzzling

Anyone added BofA cards ?

I added one...It works fine. How are you getting 2.625?

I think they change the load limit for all cards to $1000 a month.

Also, if you're MSing to keep those funds at 50k and earning interest on it (Checking account or savings), you're going to have huge problems down the road. Beware.

My TD card didn't work today at TD Bank's 2 ATMs, had no time to talk to reps and left. Online account doesn't indicate anything.
Is there any reason to keep TD Buxx?
Will they send me a check if I'll close?

It gives you access to Penny Arcade, that's about it. Fee-free ATMs in Canada as well.

If you close your TD Buxx, they'll mail you a check 30 days from the date you close the account. I just got a confirmation a few days ago that my check was mailed.

Are you outside your timed limits ($60 ATM per 7 days, $2k spend in 7 days?

TD Buxx
 
I have the points earning TD VISA, it does earn the equivalent of 1% (if redeeming for cash). :p

The load initially scared me as it was showing as a "Cash Advance", but that pending charge dropped after a week. (The actual purchase shows up as a purchase even when the pending cash advance still hung around).

Ok, but I have only loaded $500, so unless they made it $500 a week and not per day anymore, that has no effect on the problem I am experiencing

US Buxx, online load, last used 10/7 (A+ & Citi Exec, no problem), haven't met monthly minimum, 2 cards. Both cards failed last 3 days in a row. NP loading SO Buxx w/Arrival+.

Bad day at WM
 
For Oct, prior to today, I had one day (10/9) of loading at WM Customer Service.
USB Buxx 2x$1000 onto Serve
USB Buxx 2x$1000 onto BB

Today, I tried round 2.
Many attempts, repeated fails 1x$1000 USB Buxx onto BB
One attempt, successful, 2x$1000 USB Buxx onto Serve.

The customer swipe pad indicated pending, then approved, then all of a sudden the 1/2 inch paper prints out that indicates the transaction failed. Tender not allowed.

I then tried a $500 VGC and the customer swipe pad threw up a signature screen briefly before descending into a failed transaction, tender not allowed.

I then tried $500 VGC at a regular cashier and got the same effect.

Since I was successful with Serve, I tend to discount the likelihood of operator error.

I know every step of the way is YMMV, and different WM may be different. But, my conclusion is that between 10/9 and 10/21 WM cash register software changed such that it recognizes USB Buxx (for BB) and VGC up front and kicks it out, where before it worked.

If anyone has suggestions other than 'try another WM' I am very interested. Big problem if I can't unload Buxx or VGC onto BB. Thx.

WM was in Martinez, CA
