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!

CS lines are usually very long,
Today a cashier told me to go to CS so I went on the next line found a cashier that had no clue what this is just told her swipe and did $2500 with 1 cc swipe another $2500 on my wife's card and 5 min later out with $5000 MS, gotta love red card as long as it lasts
In the regular target I go to not the one I went on Friday I have a cashier I go to she does everything I ask she knows what she is doing she is great quick and wants to help

@zevi
what might've happened is that the cashier didnt activate properly and just swiped your cc without really activating (did they ask you for license and other info?)
redbird rep told me that if the card isnt properly activated and then you try to register it online, once you enter the (not-yet-activated) card number into the registration link, that temp card is toast and you need to get a new one

Yes -- you can reload the temp card up to $1,000 per day ($500 per transaction) with a $1500 max prior to receiving your permanent card.
