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

Anybody else get an email like this?
Dear XXXX,
Give your teen or that young adult in your life a gift that will make you both smile with an extra $5. Just add $50 to your Buxx Card by December 31 and we'll give you $5
To receive the $5 bonus, add $50 to the Buxx card account before December 31, 2013. The bonus will be credited to the account within 2 weeks following January 15, 2014.
I wonder if its $5 per card. If so, it would be essentially free to load $1000 per card.

FWIW,
I use my PayPal debit card (not prepaid one) to load my NW Buxx today. For some reasons, I typed my 3 digits CVV wrong so I got an error from NW. However, the load amount was deducted from my PayPal account and none showed up in my NW account. Hopefully I will get a refund in a few days.

I tried to load Serve using a NW Buxx card and got an error message to call AMEX. They told me that I can't use a prepaid card and de-linked it from my account

Actually it is a common knowledge that is discussed in Serve/BB topic for a while. You can use PayPal Debit Mastercard (not prepaid one) though.

BB also seems to have a limit on the debit card load of 3 loads before they block you - requiring proof that the DC account is yours. Had this happen on both mine and my wife's BB after 3 loads. They will set up a 3 way call with your bank to confirm the DC is yours.

Perhaps worthwhile to try and add your card again and see what happens if you then try to transfer, say a token $10 amount.

Many people confirm that Serve/BB accept PayPal debit card as a "real" debit card.

WM Billpay with USBank VB
I just enrolled as a parent for the USBank VB and entered my SO as the teen. Under "my account" on their website, I am listed as the "account holder" and my SO is listed as the "card holder". My understanding is that I will receive one card with my SO's name on it and that I can add funds to it.
My question regards liquidating funds. As the "account holder" can I do a WM Billpay even though the card is not in my name? Or, should I request a card with my name on it?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
