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!

Funny- I had no problem loading RB today and shows up in account but when I did BB at WM it was declined. I called about BB and they said they were having problems with it.

Is this error only going for cards that were already registered online and for permanent cards? Or also getting brand new cards?

I tried reloading a old card when i had the error,, also had the error when trying register a new card.

Heads up:
In westbury today a cashier and cs rep said no prepaid GC.
Anyone know what's the deal with GC in queens flushing or college point.

PS: actually some hashgacha protis.
After I left the store with a bunch of extra GC, I got an email from staples that my current order for more GC will not be processed. BH!

The issue with Redbird loading tonight affects the temporary cards also. I tried twice in two different Target stores to load my 3rd Redbird, a sample cash load (as in cash literally) went through eventually, whereas a credit card load went through then reversed back (neither transaction showed right away on my account online). Target local manager said they expected the error to be fixed in next few hours (he volunteered the info, I didn't ask).

By the way, for people who are looking to get an ACTIVATED prepaid temporary REDcard online:

- eBay: http://ebay.to/1DbmTRA

- Craigslist: http://bit.ly/1FvmSuf

The username and password combination isn't right. As a reminder, the password rules are: at least 8 characters, at least 1 number, at least 1 uppercase, at least 1 lowercase, no symbols.

nothing wrong with my passwords though

Since you feel that reading the thread is below you and instead just post your question immediately I will fill you in.
It means target has realized you load via cc which is a violation  of terms and they have blocked your card and your name from loads and locked your funds down.
