Thanx mc/Amex can do as debit? Or only credit?

MC - credit, or debit if you have a pin# (may have to call and set it). Amex - credit.

Maser and visa yes

Did you try as debit or credit? They will only work as credit.

Amex gift cards can sometimes take a few hours to activate. Check your balance online.

I didn't need to wait 24 hours and was able to open a RC right away. I did have a problem with using the same email though and recommend you use a different one. Other people may have had different experiences. Just commenting on my experience.

I know that this has been spoken about before but going though this hole thread is alot of work

So i just got my first redbird card in the mail today and wanted to give it a shot tomorrow
should i go straight to CS?

Also will chase decline the transaction if i do the full $2500 at one shot due to a fraud alert?
if so how do i avoid it?

Now i don't want to get stuck with them telling me i can do it with a cc (does that happen?) if so what should i be telling them?

You can do it at a cashier
Call chase before to let them know you will make a big purchase in target

Then what does the wiki mean when it says

"see note immediately below about doing up to 2.5K per transaction (or do 3 transactions: 1K, 1K, $500 - or any combination you desire.) "

How do i pull that off?

Check your local stores!!

I live in a non-participating state and one of the local Targets is carrying redbirds. The other ones are not. I activated, registered, the who shebang. The rollout must be moving forward stealthily.

my local Target (Nanuet) still hasn't received them, RC lives on.
