When there's a coupon for $X off if spending over $XX, then it usually works on VGCs.  Occasionally, such as a week or 2 ago, they have $XX off if buying $XXX of Visa or MC GCs.
Right now there's nothing.  So use your Ink for 5 pt/$ at office supplies.

Hello, I cannot seem to find a definitive answer and sorry if that question has been asked before. But going though 200+ is juts too much :-)

Can you load the RB using sub-account card?

Thank you!

no

Thanks! I guess I will have to drag my wife to Target on a few occasions now.

Let us know how it goes.

Success.  You can liberate a Redcard from one participating store and activate it in another participating store.  This is not a comment on whether you should or whether its yihareg vilo yaavor or dina dimalchusa dina or chamutcha brecher or anything else, just that you can...

For us in Brooklyn, it's not really nogea, but it's still good to know.

does anyone know what the limit is or how much after loading in 1 year will it trigger 1099 and if it does who gives the 1099 target??

It's 200 transactions AND $20,000 that triggers the 1099.  http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=45709.msg1027425#msg1027425

I'm adding it to the wiki!

Added!
There is no tax event in loading your RedCard.  Even if it was reportable, it would only get a 1099 if, in a year, you did more than 200 transaction AND gained more than $200,000.


Is that clear, or it needs fixing?

Which target location?

CS or reg cashier?

I just want to prepare myself when I go in for the first time...

Do they know what they are doing by now or do you still have to give them instructions?
