am i the only one lost on what this refers to?

not sure what the big secret is. Hes referring to going through a shopping portal to buy Amex gift cards.

Yes, because like this I don't need to leave the keyboard. Control-l (or shift-d, depending on my mood) takes me to the address bar, and I just need to type amex and it autofills for me. Then I press enter or shift enter (for a new tab), and I'm there.

but if you bookmarked it you could then make a keyword shortcut for it. So you would potentially only have to type 1 letter in the address bar.

True. But then I'd have to memorize the keyboard shortcut, and I already know amex..... by heart

My wife also notes that in order to preempt them giving you a hard time, tell them that you would like to load $1k on the redcard because you want the 5% off the purchase you are about to make. (helps if you have a cart filled with stuff)

In a different store today, the person behind me commented, $25 hundred, I thought when I spent over $200 it was a big shopping trip...

I don't know when this was reported to change but I did $2500 in Target in Bergen County on 2/12 with no issues.

Anyone pay their taxes through Redcard?

I dont know for sure if it would work, but you might be able to have the state or IRS debit from it like a bank account using the account information they give for refunds. It might not work because it might only be for deposits and block debits.

For those of you that have a Redcard for themselves and a spouse, do you load both at the same time? If not do you load both cards (but at different times) or have your spouse do their card?

I do, but I'm OOT...
I usually try not to withdraw $ from ATM for both at same time... But I'm not that good at trying...

I've done both cards at one time with 1 CSR. I usually do 1 card a day. I'll play it by ear depending on how friendly and relaxed the CSR is.
