Can the red card be used to pay taxes online as a debit card? The Payusa tax site does not have amex as a debit card option. I assume that means that like the amex gift cards this cannot?

send a check to you address made out to the IRS ?

I loaded and registered a card with all of my info on Tuesday. I wanted to go load another card and register it under my girlfriend today. Can I go to target and put in just my info again and then at home register it under my girlfriend, or do I have to put her info in at the initial load?  TIA

From the wiki: 2) In Target, go to a register and ACTIVATE this temporary card. You need to give a social security #. (It does NOT have to be the SS# you will use to REGISTER the card later.) You can load up to $500 on the card at this time. (It will not count toward the first month’s limit.)
So the answer to your question is YES.

I loaded the initial 500.00 but haven't gotten my permanent card yet. Can I load this card as if it were the permanent? (3 transactions 1000x2 + 500?)

$500 when you activate the card. Then $1000. Then you gotta wait for your permanent one.

Another question, I was trying see if I can pay the cc with the red card. Is this possible, if so, can someone guide me through the steps...

Just got 2 temp cards.  In store put my SS# and my husband's SS#.  As we both have serve, wanted to register the cards in our adult kids' names/ss/birthday.  Tried with the first card and put in my email address and got message that email is in use!  Tried my husbands' home email and got the same msg.  Put in his bus email and the form went through but with a message to check emails for further instructions/verification. 

Anyone else have this problem with emails? Is the waiting for further email instructions/verifications standard?

They have asked me to provide further ID for both cards. Which were done at separate times. Once they received the info- they cleared /activated the account- and sent out the permanent card.

They always send an email with a link to click on to verify. IME takes a few minutes to come.

You need a different email address than what is used for serve or bb

Did you even try to do it on your account? There is an option that literally says "PAY BILLS".

[yudamaan]

Not sure if mentioned, but if you are on a sub account with BB or Serve, you need to cancel that as well.

Not sure how they tell though if you don't enter SSN for family account...

do you know this from personal experience? Because ddfer super speed wrote it's ok to have both
