Since October 12, 2015, the prepaid REDcard (Redbird) can only be loaded at Target with cash. It can still be loaded online with a bank-issued debit card, up to $200/day and $1K/month.

Therefore, for MS (manufactured spending) Redbird is now considered dead. RIP!

Either of you try buying vgc in supermarkets with prepaid amex cards? Or only PRG?
I've only bought with my prg card.
Life is as good as you make it...

Are the green dot reloadable prepaid Mastercards As impossible and a half to use as the back of the package sounds? ie. Registering online

No PMs necessary
5RC x 5k x 2xMR with PRG for VGC/MGC=50k 
If you have half a brain you can figure out that equation on your own. Like i said no PMs necessary.
Why not pay with the EDP where you can get up to 4.5 MR  for each dollar in supermarkets?
money doesn't talk......      it SCREAMS !

Couldn't have said THAT better

I've taken to incurring tolls and hour long drives in each direction to get what i need done. Still worth 50k MR a month.
hows gateway? Would they allow $2500 on multiple rc's? Just got back to Brooklyn have been gone for 5 months.

I've had 1k, $500 and rejection for GCs all in the same week at Gateway. Late shift near closing, or early morning right after they open, seems to work better at every location that i've tried.

Got an email asking for verification of ID and social on a new card.

Is there any way around having to upload the social security card? The person I'm managing the account for is fine uploading the drivers license but doesn't really want to upload an image of their social to target (don't ask me why).

Whenever I try to upload the documents via the email link: https://secure.prepaidredcard.com/User/SecureFileUpload
It just takes me to a page that says
"Your account is being reviewed.

If you have a Temporary Card, you can check your balance."

can't seem to upload docs-anyone else had this problem?

Yes, seems to be an issue in their system...Call them and ask them to resend the email requesting the verification, you may need to do it a few times.

Tried this. They said their system seems to be down or not working, I could apply for a serve card instead. Tried resending multiple times, all the same link so don't see why that should work.

What browser you using? I think I had issues on chrome but ie or Firefox worked. Don't recall which.

Tried chrome, firefox, safari, no i.e. on mac, but tried that user agent. All no go.
No access to a fax machine. Any good online options maybe?
