USB Buxx
(NOTE: stopped taking new applications ~mid February 2014 through the official link.
Current users can still add new cards.)
Also - Answer ALL the identification questions in your profile (not JUST three or four) USBuxx will sometimes ask you one of the questions, if you use the account on a new computer. HOWEVER - they are more than happy to ask you an unanswered question - talk about BROKEN! So, answer ALL the questions so that when you are prompted - you can answer any of them.
Do not load with any US Bank card as this will not provide points.

NW Buxx
Max # of CC on file for both is 2. Each has a max # of loads per card per 7 day rolling period (~3/4). If you card fails to load, first try to switch to another CC, second check to make sure there are at least 7 calendar days between loads.
Reports of Citi cards (at least Mastercard) coding as purchase for NW Buxx (Jan 2015), but YMMV.
- Initial purchase fee: $5 (waived with promo code: 02050053)
- $2 load fee
- Max load per day: $500
- Max load per rolling 30 days: $1,000
- The maximum Card value is $1,000.00
- Max ATM per week: ($200 - but only if specifically enabled online, including PIN setup). No fee for some Allpoint ATMs (no way to know in advance if the Allpoint ATM will ding you $1; check your account carefully and call if necessary to reverse the $1 charge…IME 2/3 Allpoint ATMs do charge the fee).
- Max spend per 7 rolling days: $800

You cannot buy money orders at the post office with the USB Buxx but you can certainly buy them at walmart.

Last load $500 on Nov 8. (Previous is on July month.)
Trying to load another $500 (towards $1000 a month limit as the second reload.)
Getting "Maximum number of reloads reached."
Representative said I'm hitting $200 a week limit.
So my next $500 load is need to be in 2 week?? or when?

For USBank Buxx 30-days load limit begin counting from the first (or last) load of previous 30-days cycle. Appreciate the clarification. Thanks.

I see conflicting information in the thread. An earlier post says you cannot load Bluebird with the USBank version of the card. A more recent post suggests you can load your BB account with it at Walmart. Would someone please post or PM me to confirm which answer is correct? Thanks in advance.

Is there a daily or weekly spending limit for the USB VB? I know the NW card has an $800weekly spending limit, but I can't find a spending limit for the USB version. I just need to know when and how much I can use it for MOs or WM BillPay.

I loaded $20 initially on 10/18.
Then, $500 load on 10/26.
Then, $500 load on 11/02
Now I could not load it. Error message is "Maximum number of reloads reached"

Can't you just take a USB VB Card to a US Bank ATM and withdraw cash?
Does doing this have a fee associated to it, because it says on the USB VB card site that there are no ATM fees as long as you go to a US Bank ATM. Am I getting bad information on this?

No fee at US Bank ATM. $200 per ATM transaction, 3 per 24 hour period. It's all in the terms and conditions.
