Ok so my redcard reload goes as follows,
Go to Staples buy $2,500 vgc,
Go to target, wait on line, hand the (newly hired) cashier my card, she requested help b4 I had the opportunity to..
Swipe #1 1,000
Swipe #2 (with help) 1,000
(a little surprised)
Swipe #3 500
Then time to unload the gc
Swipe gc 1, cancel, credit, signature (sometimes), tell her the last 4 #..
And move on..
She didn't need to do anything special on her end, besides putting the last 4 #s
3 loads
13 swipes all in one transaction
