The Target Prepaid REDcard

[hvaces42]

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?

I have 5 cards. I transfer to 3 accounts and request checks on the other 2. They can send you a check directly. Just set yourself up as a payee. Then deposit checks in your account and pay cc bill.

Is there a limit on billpay?  I paid $5k this month and it won't let me do anymore...

Just had the same thing happen to me. Limited me to $5k bill pay. Dont know if it is per payee or in general. I only have one payee. Will try and add another one and see what happens. Seems like its something new.

can I have multiple redcard (with different ssn/names) going into one bank account with my name on it.
Or Does the name on the redcard account have to match the name on the bank account its being transferred to.

What's going on?  I was just by target and I gave them my red card to activate and I put on it $500 they didn't ask me for my name and no info from so it was funny to me so i called the number in back of the card  said they that the card is not active and I gotta go through a whole process faxing many documents.. Anyone can help?

Just added a payee and it seems like they have limited the bill pay to $5k total per month. Issued $5k to one payee and tried $100 to another payee didnt allow it.

T&C says the accounts have to match. FWIW I have personal going into business account.

Read pages 156-161 on this thread. many have reported this. If they didnt ask for ID then the SKU is not coming up. They seem to have blocked that SKU in Targets that are in states that do not carry RedCard. You should go back and get a refund first then deal with them about activating. Was it a free Redcard or $5 version? Just collecting data points. Seems that the free ones are an issue more than the $5 cards, which are normally activated before you leave the store.

I was going to do this, but amex told me (a month a go) that you can only transfer/receive  2.5k a month to someone else that has redcards through bill pay/ send money. Meaning my address and name is on file and when I use bill pay to send a check to me from my other account it would not work, but if you are saying it will work this than great . Thanks.

The $5 card didn't prompt the activation

Im still amazed that someone upthread justified taking a $5 unactivated card without paying. If its $5 how do you take it??? Activated or not they want you to pay for it. It may not ring when you leave the store but its theft IMHO. Am I missing something?

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?

DONT BOTHER WITH THE FAXING! Im talking from experience they will make you crazy for this document and that document..... but if the receipt doesent have the serial number (sounds like it dosent-cuz it didn't activate) THEY WILL NOT ACTIVATE YOUR CARD!! Just wasted three hours with this!

So what does that mean?  It's not possible to activate red card in Brooklyn?

So that makes you culpable for possession of stolen property, not the actual theft. Mazel tov.

No issue. Used PRG, SPG, Everyday Preferred.  Wish Target was on the Dept. store list for 3% or better yet the 6% on Blue
