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

the wiki days:
Max # of CC on file for both is 2. Each has a max # of loads per card per 7 day rolling period (~4/5). If you card fails to load, switch to another CC.
each parent can only have 2 teen cards? what does the "Max # of CC on file for both is 2" exactly mean?
thanks

I tried a new funding source (switched credit cards). Same error.
Thus, I'm concluding 2.5 teens per parent. I don't know how they would arrive at that for a maximum, but that matches my Oct 2014 experience.

In my experience - max is $2500. That is a strange amount, but that is what happened in Oct. I have 3 teen cards on auto load. 10/1 - $500 on each. 10/15, $500 on first two, failed on 3rd. Various error messages via email and retry, but 'max load exceeded' was the essence of the messages.

I'm getting this same error today myself on USBuxx when selecting to add new funds. I have never seen this before.
"Funds cannot be loaded to the account at this time because the minimum load amount would exceed the maximum allowable card balance."
Can you point out which part of the wiki explains this?

I have had no issues with my usbuxx for years,each month I load 2k to 2 teens and 1k to one teen. Usb limits 5k per month total across all teens per 30 days.

Not if you have multiple funding sources. I've done more than that for years (6 teens, full 2k), no issues either.

So here's a new one for me... Went to load a NW Buxx with a Chase card (been using same card for 1 1/2 months) and the charge went pending and then auto- reversed. It's not a cash advance issue. I did attempt just after midnight on the 30 day window. But if that was the issue I would have expected NW to not attempt. I always pay down my cards as fast as I charge on them.
I'm considering trying later in the morning. Before I potentially draw unwanted attention I thought I'd see if anyone else has any previous experience with a similar scenario.
EDIT: I was entering the incorrect 3 digit security code from the back of the card. *smacks self in forehead*
Please learn from my mistake, folks.

For the NW Buxx: is the Max spend per 7 rolling days: $800 per teen? So you can spend $800 on Teen 1 and $800 on Teen 2 card today? Or are you only allowed $800 per rolling 7 days for parent account?

I have in issue adding my BofA Travel Rewards Visa (now 2.625%) to USBank Buxx card:
"An error occurred while attempting to update your funding source information. Please verify that the information you provided is correct"
It's not related to 180/30/1 day rule, not limited to a single Buxx account.
I was able to add the same Visa to Nationwide Buxx, works as a purchase, puzzling
Anyone added BofA cards ?

I've only done 2 loads totaling $500 in the past month on my NW Buxx card and I keep getting "Maximum number of reloads reached." with both of my CCs on file. Anyone have any solutions?
