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!

It looked homemade...

figured it was homemade:
possibly so valuable that he brought his wife's homemade kugel. (prepping in advance for YT?) "shana tova" to Carmen!

In 2002 I did my summer semester in Budapest with a school from  Louisiana. One of the students from "West Bumbelklutz" asked me if i liked kooooogel! I nearly fell out of my chair. Guess it doesnt need that much explaining.  ;D

Actually I did have a problem like this.  Receipt said money was loaded but available balance was N/A but a little slip of paper came out of the register that said we're sorry your money could not be loaded. Received the email that the money was loaded but when I looked online the money wasn't there and it was no longer on the GC.  Was a big hassle to finally get the money loaded.
Ok thanks for the tip. I was referring to scenarios where all seemed well at load time and everything was loaded as per the receipt, but in reality the money didn't load... In your case you were notified at the POS that something was up.

Last night first time for me system did not let me load mastercard gift card onto to red card.  Kept saying invalid pin even though I entered it correctly. tried it a couple of times even tried changing to my own pin

Can you transfer mastercard gift cards funds to another card?

Call the GC company, it could be they locked the card.

Try to buy something in a store and see what happens could be something wrong with the card or pin.

When I meant locked it I was referring to the pin being locked for incorrect attempts..
