The Target Prepaid REDcard

[dan5082030]

+1. You enter the info on the signature pad. They don't even know what you're entering. You don't need to say anything.

So I can tell them that I want to register 2 cards?  Or they will say that 1 per person?  And I'll have to come back a different time.

So I should just give all my info. for the second card except I should give a different SSN number.  Right?

Correct.

It depends on the store. Most cashiers don't know the difference, so as long as the system lets, they won't know that technically it's 1 per person. If you want, just do the second one at a different cashier, or at the electronics desk towards the back.

All the CS rep did was enter the $1000 for the prepaid. She only spoke up when it was declined. Do i choose to put full balance on the debit card or choose the partial balance option?

no personal experience. It sounds like  you're trying to pay the partial balance with a $200 debit card, then another partial balance with another $200 debit card, etc. until the last one and it pays the full remaining balance.

Tell them exactly what you want to do. You have a few debit cards, with only $200 loaded on each.

Yes exactly. It worked as credit but not as debit

I did, but it's all done on the self serve  pad and it said insufficient funds when I selected the whole balance and froze up when I selected partial balance.

Target on Flatbush and H new CS rules $1k one time load. Did my 1k load...then went upstairs to electronics dept. for the rest of my loading needs ;-)

Does it makes sense I just activated my card by target they just charged my card $500 and scan my red card they did not ask me for my name or ID or social security number for nothing they ask me they just charged my card and scan the red card then said its active that make sense?

I have 9 redcards. One of the ways I recycle the money is by using bill pay to payoff BA credit card with a $0 balance, which means I will have a negative balance. Once the bill pay arrives, i request a refund check from BA CC and I use the refund to payoff the credit card used to load my redcard. Is it a bad idea to incur a negative CC balance and to ask for a refund? Does anyone know a better way of freeing up the REDCARD money besides for withdrawing to a bank account?

Sounds like a bad idea. Transfer to bank account is better

Yes all my cards are registered under various ppl. I have 45k to recycle. I can only transfer 20k a month to a bank (My and my wfies card each 10k). Is there another way to transfer the money to a bank? Would I increase my risk of being caught if I paid off my CC used to load the red cards with redcards bill pay?

Transfer from other cards

Since the RC load is billed as Target (purchase?) it's not a problem to have RC pay your cc bill.
