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!

ollar credit line. I almost yelled at her because I didn't want the credit card I want to the prepaid debit card. That was pretty bad
lmao! Sorry you had to go through that but dont you have to fill out an app? Didnt see anything that sounded like a cc app?
It was a store credit card. I had to do some stuff on the keypad. Social security number and I have to verify all the info is correct. That was the main thing easiest application ever but totally unwanted!

dont they ask for address and stuff? As supposed to RC where they dont.

I wonder if you cld call target and have them remove the credit pull as it was technically unauthorized. (I'm assuming thats why you are displeased)

It was authorized I just didn't realize it until too late! They asked me to put in my social security number and everything came up and I have to verify it it was a very simple process

But you didn't authorize a pull you only verified your SSN
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

they should give you a hard time. Pulling credit w/o authorization isnt something they want to deal with.

BTW, what you want is not a debit card either; it's a prepaid card.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
