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!

I don't get this whole thing...

According to CS whom I spoke with at RedCard on the phone, they said you can't even do Loads with A CC...

Why does Target allow this?
I'll let one of the more seasoned DDFers yell at you. I'll just suggest that you refrain from calling attention to the fact that this is the easiest way to manufacture spending and keep CS out of it when you can

this prob isnt the best place to post this but my wife is in target and they have coupon in-store only $25 off $100 on diaper,wipes, and a few other baby related items. i dont believe this is red card exclusive

expires 1/17 you have to txt target (827438) BABY4 and you'll get the coupon on your phone may or may not work online

swipe red card 1st time,
They will ask how much,
$1,000
It will say, can't pay with target gc,
They need to press OK (k1)
Then b4 they presses the payment method, cc/dc/cash, ask them to reswipe the red card,.
Hope this helps
And if they already selected a payment method, ask then to push 'back'

That's where you go wrong

Even if they see it the more it annoys them and the more you stuff it in their face the more they understand what's going on and the quicker it disappears

For that matter....

DO NOT GIVE CS A HARD TIME EITHER!!! TAKE NO AS AN ANSWER!!!

Not yelling at you, just making sure everyone hears it.

If they say $400, $1k etc. Just accept it. Say thank you. Dont be a smart alec. If youre shopping with someone else then you can approach separately. Or try a cashier if they are allowed in that location. Or try the electronics department first if they are allowed to process loads. But when they say this is the limit...accept it.

Sorry for being redundant.

Are Targets in non-participating locations still having issues activating cards from participating locations?

Yes. I'm trying an experiment tomorrow trying to activate a card liberated from one participating store in another participating store.
