(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.

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).

Do not create too many accounts too fast. Some reports of account shutdown when same SSN used across multiple cards / accounts in a short period of time.

I had a Barclay card in my profile from before they went TD Bank CC loads only that I was lucky to still be able to use it to load after the change. It disappeared from my profile sometime within the last week.

Can you confirm whether you're actually getting 1% on the TD loads?

Can anyone confirm if this limit is per an account or per teen card? I guess it's per account, then i don't need to add one more teen card.
Thanks a lot.

I may be reading to much into this, but if I did one on October 3 and October 10, would I be able to add November 2, or do I need to wait until November 3.

IME both Nationwide and US Bank will let you old on Nov 2nd (actual 30 day count, not just the same day next month). Though as cautioned above, get your timestamps straight with US Bank since they literally will calculate it down to the second.

With NW, when going for multiple cards, is it better to add to the same account again (with same SSN) or create new master accounts?
