@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. |

Thanks for the heads up. I had wanted to sign up card for myself but having second thoughts. Looks like best way is to sign up myself as parent and wife as teen and then via versa so I could get my card |
As a follow up, added two more teens with bogus info, both with my exact name, and no issues so far.

Just got USB VB card in mail with my teen's name on it. i load it as the parent. any problem with me using my teen's card to withdraw cash from ATM? of course the PIN is mine and the teen is actually my spouse. PM's are cool too.

You're worried they'll ask you for ID at the ATM?

Did you get the cards yet? As I did with NW and everything seems ok with app. But they never actually sent the card to me so it was a no go but they never say so. |

i guess not but still. i'm the one btwn the two of us who has the US bank account for cash+. dont want that shut down for sure.
The only chance you could get in trouble with this is when someone reports a problem or steals your card and an unauthorized ATM withdraw and they look at surveillance tapes and sees you and not your wife taking money out. Otherwise, no problems |

Thank you

For those of you keeping track I was finally above to load with my credit cards which had previously been giving me errors. Apparently there is a limit to the number of transactions that can be performed within a certain time frame. Will post more when I test load this month.
|
it is 10 loads with $5K limit per rolling 30 days per card.

Been trying to follow this thread in regards to Citi Cards and cash advances.
A pattern I think I saw while reading this thread is that it looks like the US Buxx does not charge Citi as a Cash Advance but the NW Buxx charges as a cash advance. Can anyone debunk this? |
