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

G. Limitations on Dollar Amount of Loads. The initial minimum load is twenty dollars ($20.00) and the maximum is one thousand dollars ($1,000). You may load up to one thousand ($1,000.00) per day on Your Card, not to exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) per thirty (30) days. Your maximum Card value at any time is two thousand dollars ($2,000.00).

Thanks for the reply. Put in perspective, it is clear to me now. As someone without AP, this is looking more and more attractive to me 
Since you were kind to reply let me provide you and my brethren one of my MS secrets that I perhaps am the only person who knows. At least I discovered it myself but perhaps others are aware. I have not seen it posted before so it is probably new to anyone reading this.
Here is one of my MS secrets: tdbank.com/tdgocard
Its the same general principle (teen spending) except this is better than what yall discussing because its $1 to load via debit or cc, instead of the $2.50 you are paying.
Hope my MS secret helps some of you. If this ends up on FWF then I probably will keep most of my other secrets close to my vest. They cancelled my account and therefore deserve none of my contributions, directly from me or indirectly from someone who reposts it from here.

Perhaps I'm missing something -- For TDGo, I see the benefits of loading for less, but am missing the liquidation part -- I'm seeing $60/weekly ATM withdrawal limit (though I did read something saying that can be "managed" by the "parent", so perhaps that can be increased much higher?) -- Maybe i'm having a brain fart reading over the terms and FAQ at 3:30am, but can someone fill me in on best way to liquidate loaded funds -- ATM? Transfer to linked checking account? Other? TIA! :-)
EDIT: Thanks nmp0 (post below) -- doh! it was so obvious, i'll chalk it up to a 3:30am brain fart while half asleep ;-)

I used mine and my wife's ssn. I but her real bday and she is def not a teen. Putting in a fake ssn seems risky to me.
You are going out of man spend into a potentially fraudulent area. I doubt anything would happen besides account closure but I guess I draw the line there.

Are you able to swipe the TD version in person at wally world to feed a bluebird? It appears that it has a PIN, so I don't see why not.

In any event, is it correct that a debit load into BB will work at Wally World?
