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)

- 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

i believe it is "free" in that moneypass will not charge you...but you will still be charged the 1.50 from USBank because you are not using their ATM.

You do get charged the $1.50. I thought my Moneypass ATM was not going to result in the fee because the fee does not get charged right away. On my first withdrawal it wasn't charged until the next day. I use these for BP or MO now unless I need some cash right way.

So the lesson learned is if transaction fails, don't try it multiple times. Collect receipt if possible and withdraw cash before the a/c goes into PFRAUD mode.

I had the same PFRAUD a few months back with kinda of same circumstances with a nervous WM clerk who kept charging & voiding multiple times. After letting that card chill for a week with just under a $1k on it it USB cleared the PFRAUD all by themselves (they even left 1 voice mail as I recall-I auto VMed the number) and I've been loading and unloading the card without issue since then. I always like to say "I can do nothing like nobody's business"...well that time doing nothing worked out!
If you are going the BP/MO route, I'd like to give you guys a warning. I swiped my card for a transaction just below 1k. It said approved but the machine started asking for money again. I ended up doing the same thing again three times. WM cashier says the transaction could not be completed. So I walked away without any receipt. I went home and checked the a/c online and it shows status as PFRAUD. I call buxx to clear it up and the rep says there have been several returns on my account so to unlock the a/c they need to see the receipts of the return transactions. I made the mistake of not collecting the receipt. And it will be a pain to collect receipt from WM. I have some money locked up with buxx b/c of this. I have still been loading and unloading on other teens so I'm not quite ready to fight them and close the a/c. I'd rather recover the money by doing more MS and taking advantage of this deal. I'm sure I'll get the money eventually when buxx ends.
So the lesson learned is if transaction fails, don't try it multiple times. Collect receipt if possible and withdraw cash before the a/c goes into PFRAUD mode.

What I don't want them doing is looking into my transactions and seeing this is MS. I'd lose a lot more than 1k if I don't have access to us buxx.
Wonder how long they will take.. does it make sense to poke them?

If it's been held in PFRAUD for 3 months I'd sure poke them.
So is there money gone from Buxx that didn't get to a MO or BP (vanished) or are you saying it's stuck on the card?
In my case it was merely frozen on the card and I was not "out" any money anywhere.

PFRAUD due to 2 WMT transactions on US Buxx was resolved with 1 phone call quickly. CSR mentioned supervisor approving it, so better to call during business hours omly.

Had something weird happen to me today...
Submitted a $999 payment using Evolve.
Got an email from TD that the transaction was declined, but it's pending on TD site, and still pending on Evolve.
I haven't gone over my $2k per 7 days
Any idea?

Maybe old news, but didn't see it in the last couple of days.
Noticed on the USB Buxx account page:
