Too bad ! Looks like the party will be over soon. Were you using the card for just ATM withdrawals or there were some small purchases also in between ?

All 9 accounts closed around May 23rd. Used each card about 5 times per month for smallish normal purchases.

Received check in mail after a week. Anyone able to tell if they assessed the account closure fee ? I dont think they did, but cant be sure.

hmmm, mine still alive and I am doing the same thing. How did you cash them out anyway?

Mine are still alive (but still fairly new) and I'd like to keep it that way. How are you cashing yours out, MM? And how many do you have? Sounds like anyone with a high number of cards is getting the axe. So I wonder what the threshold is.

Nowadays I actually have one card with US Bank. I have been known to use my office to "cheat the system" and make "purchases" but it works as if I were to go to a store and that is fine by all who know of it (and now generate their own hush-hush miles too. You wont even see them on FT!)...

not necessarily illegal but not recoomended, but US Bank is happy and so are all other parties.

Mine are also still alive. However, I've only had mine for a couple of months. Recently, I've been withdrawing different amounts from each card. I also do not empty the cards. I leave $50 or so in each card. I also buy gas using a different card everytime. When cashing out at the ATM, I use a different set of cards each time. I withdraw amounts that are not multiples of $100. I would withdraw $340 from one and $260 from another.

I didn't get charged a closure fee when I received my checks.

All my cash out during the past 2 years was via ATM. Could not use for MOs.

I got one check, not a check for each closed card account.
They seem to have combined all remaining balances and issued one check.

To those who had their accts closed, did you also have a checking account and credit card acct with the issuing bank? I do. This could be why mine are still ok. Knock on wood.

Have had US Bank Worldperks CC for 2 years. Usually used that to fund the VISABUXX.

I didn't have a US Bank CC, did you just fund and it withdraw the money or do you actually use it for some purchases?

I just filled out the online form to purchase another US Bank Visabuxx card, using the same 'parent' and 'teen' names that were used on my accounts that were closed. We'll see if I actually get the card. But I figured it can't hurt. I'll report back. Anyone else done the same?

today, which is just 2 days shy of the oone month mark on when I last loaded my US Banks Vbx card, I was easily able to reload it 3 times for $500 each without a hitch.

granted, my wife and I share one NWA visa account, she is the parent, I am the teen, and we only have this one VBx card with them... I have never had a problem or a fee and have been able to do $1500 to $2k per month no problem. I would have gone further but I had actually used some of the credit on the card for big home improvement purchases recently and so I need to pay it down first. But miles always sneak their ways into life and so this worked fine. 1500 NW miles just like that. So US Bank VBx cards do STILL work for some people, and so maybe it will work if you reopen one.
NICE!

Posting as cash advance
 

I just checked my worldperks visa card statement and from 30 June, the visabuxx loads are posting as cash advance.

huh?

How can you even tell?

Here are my latest charges, with 2 sets of loads 30 days apart showing up for 3x$500 to equal $1500 in purchases, as far as I can tell! My last ones were just days ago with other normal charges you can see here inbetween, and I have no bal on the card that I owe for this month. No fees, no CA finance charges, no nothin.

I have to pay them this month's $1500 plus anything else I happen to use the Visacard for, for next month's statement due date. Right now, all this VBx money is sitting in ING earning 3% right now with other monies I put there til just short of 30 days from now when I pay my bill as normal...
