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!

My wife and I just started "the game" about 2 months ago. Only cards we have at the moment that get us anywhere points-wise are the Chase Freedom, Chase United Explorer (55k deal), and the Redcard. Not sure what our next move will be...anyone have any suggestions? (Maybe I should've posted this q elsewhere)

The Pikesville MD location sure is. I was there and see someone (probably a DDFer) working that machine with a bunch of redcards

Please explain the T&Cs attached with regard to withdrawal limits. Everything else works but that???? please provide receipts to $780
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
