However, last month I got hit with a .75 charge for attempting to do that 4th withdrawl. I'm ticked off at the stupid nickle-and-dime-type charge and am thinking about calling. But at the same time, it's only .75 (times 3 cards).

Anyone else gotten hit with this?

I got hit with denied access charge of .75 because the pin was input wrong, its just silly

Current US Bank Limits
 
Based on one of the previous posts --

What is the current maximum you can load on a US Bank Visa Buxx card at one time? (I thought it was $500. If its more than this, I could minimize my loading fees when using a non-US Bank cc.)

What is the current maximum you can withdraw at one time from a US Bank Visa Buxx card using a US Bank ATM? (I thought it was $200 every 4 days.)

Do US Bank's in different regions have different rules?

I would like to avoid calling attention to myself by asking these questions of US Bank customer service.

Can the USBank VisaBuxx card be used to buy USPS or Walmart money orders? There are no USBank ATMs in my area.

You need to use a credit card to get credit card miles

when i use the united debit card w/o using my pin, i get 1/$2. this is not the case with visabuxx.

Back at posting #122 in this thread, the poster said that the answer to this question was "no".

I am a B of A visabuxx refugee looking for something similar. I was going the wal-mart route and would want to be able to continue to do so.

So, before I dive in with USBANK (I have an NWA card, so that would be good to avoid some fees) did they change their policy on this or was that poster mistaken?

I am a little confused. Can you load $2000 on one card in a single day? I thought the $1500 per month was again being enforced. Also, can you withdraw $1500 (3 x $500) from a single card in one day? I thought the limit was $500 in a 4 day period. Regardless of the preceding is $1500 or $2000 the monthly limit?

$2,000 can be loaded in any 31-day period. $1500 can be withdrawn in a single day, and you have to wait a week to w/d the other $500. I know that's not what the rules say, but that's what I've been able to do ever since I've had the card.

On your US Bank Visa Buxx card, are you able to load $2,000 in one load OR do you have to break it up into multiple loads? If multiple, how many?

Are you withdrawing from a US Bank ATM or some other bank ATM?

500/load

US Bank

schoflyer Oct 28, 2005 12:57 pm

Well folks. I'm done. My last BOFA load cycle was today! Still have $500 left on 1 card to clear off.

My overall stats for this deal was...
3 Cards Total (between my wife and I)
99,944 Miles

Good Luck,

Now that the Bank of America party is over, I too am thinking of trying USBank. But it sounds like for those of us without USBanks nearby and without their credit card, the cost is a rather high 0.8c/mile ($2.50 load fee + $1.50 ATM Fee for every $500). So I think the way to go is getting a Worldperks Visa from USBank to eliminate the load fee, leaving only the ATM fee which works out to 0.3c/mile.

Is this what those of you are doing who don't have access to USBank ATMs?
