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!

Does anyone have any experience with the new blue packaging of VGC from staples. Any problems loading them to RC? Is the new placement of the sticker a problem now that it covers the card number and says gift card in large letters across the top?

If the target you go to does not mined the vgc, it shouldn't make much of a difference how big the word GC is. It's ymmv. As for Brooklyn, they are the worst....

Just traveled out of town, bought vgc in a few different stores then headed over to target and loaded them.

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.
