You're cash advance limit is probably set to $0 and citi is considering it a cash advance.

What about the personal Club Carlson card?

My understanding from reports here is that most (all?) us bank personal cards are getting the reduced fees but are not posting miles.

Nope all my other Visa Buxx transactions have not been considered cash advances. I confirmed by looking at my last two statements. Received points for all of them. Seems as if Citi has somehow disabled Visa buxx transactions for that card. Will continue to try every day and see if it ever gets unlocked...

Nice....just tried Ink and am getting the same error...my Hilton Reserve cards and Ink cards still work for other transactions but for some reason i can't load Buxx with them now.

Hope this is just a one time problem with Chase and not a permanent one like trying to use the Citi AA cards with Buxx. (most cant do NW with Citi but some have success with USB)
Note: I just loaded 1st time using Chase Ink last week when I signed up for NW Buxx and no problems but again that was last week and haven't done another load yet.

Best if we see more reports come in with FTers trying to load with Chase into either US Bank or NW buxx.

I just loaded with a Chase BA card - no problem. (US Bank)

Ok, forgot to ask as this could be important, which Buxx card are you trying to load (NW or USB?)

Loaded 4x with CSP and 2x with Citi AA on US Bank VisaBuxx with no issue yesterday. Loaded with CSP on nationwide today.
The first time I loaded nationwide with CSP, it was fine but Chase then started blocking all further attempts to load both flavors of Buxx cards. I had to call them and speak with their fraud dept to confirm I was making the purchases, but since that was cleared up, no more issues. May want to try calling Citi and Chase to see if your cards got flagged for possible fraud?

Looks like USB may already be tightening up on new Buxx applications. Just got a voicemail from Buxx asking me to call and verify that I applied and to "verify some information on my application."

Don't particularly feel like explaining why I used made up numbers, so gonna let this one go...

Was this just adding a new teen to an existing parent account or a new parent+teen?

i think you have to use valid SSs. Although they may not match id & SSN, they may have an algorithm to check whether SS is legit or not.

For testing purposes, I've "fat fingered" a teen SSN once and had no issues. It could very well be a valid SSN, but if it was, that's by accident.

@floressalicis New parent+teen
@nix7 the SSs were definitely potentially-valid (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...on-Web-Service)
@floressalicis the account creation went through normally, received the call a few days later from a mysterious "account verification" department. Called them back, no indication what the business is, just an automated machine asking you to leave a message. Presumably some subcontractor of https://visaprepaidprocessing.com/, which I believe is responsible for all Buxx cards.

All of mine were for the USB version.
