Odd. You would think it would be consistent, since they are processed in exactly the same way. Oh well, I'll just load my wife's BB tomorrow.

OR you can load your USBuxx balance to Serve and other reloadable cards and w/d from those cards.

Well with this method I'll have some opportunity costs that I don't like...

I think you can still use it on Evolve.

Weirdly enough, it does...

If I add myself as a teen to my NW Buxx card, would having the same SS number cause any problems?

I have 1 funding source. 2 teens. $2K x 2 teens leaves me $4K per 30 days.
Loaded $2K on 10/12 card 1
Loaded $1K on 10/20 card 2
Loaded $1K on 10/29 card 2
Loaded $500 on 11/11 (card 1) - 30 days plus a couple of hours ater the 10/12 load.
Second $500 load failed last night. Failed again this morning.

The request to load funds has been denied for the following reason:
An error occurred while attempting to add funds to your account. Please verify that the information you have provided for your payment method is correct.

My payment method has not changed in many months. The only conclusion I can make is that the max load per CC has dropped from $5K to $2.5K??

Any other ideas?

I don't know if we were waiting for more data points before updating the wiki but I just experienced this same exact issue as well. No USBuxx loads in the last 45 days and it cut me off when that error message after $2,500.

I've had the same issues since October so I think they may have lowered the amount per CC. Now I'm wondering if I 'max out' a card, do I have to switch to another card till I max it out or will it ever re-set for a card that I prefer to use?

Just wanted to confirm that this indeed works. Same Kate that Serve didn't work on yesterday worked today for bluebird.

I have been thinking about getting a NW Buxx for sometimes now, the only thing that is holding me back is the 1k limit per month. I have a weird question ... when you call into customer service do they ever wonder or question you why you have or need a buxx card at your age?

Actually this product is also good for budgeting an elderly parent if you are in control of their finances.

What exactly is holding you back? The free $16.08 per month? It's just another way to diversify. Either you take it or you leave it.

Useful info. It helps clear up some things. Namely, Citi's inability to process a payment where the total must have exceeded $800 because I'd hit the ATM that week.

crap, i loaded 500 from my new chase marriott and hyatt visa cards onto NW buxx
i now noticed the my 1k CA limit is reduced by the load amount
are all chase visa now posting as CAs on any prepaid products?
or is this a situation where it will convert back to a purchase?

-------edit

ok, so it looks it is normal part of the process
