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!

FT method no go, but I don't think it worked in beginning of January either. However 5 transactions did work, albeit with a call to barclays fraud after second transaction was initially declined.
worked for me on feb 1

It would seem so based on a reading of THE email that went out this week. I suppose that is what you are referring to?

IME they wont let you load more than 1k at a time. sometimes they will just send you to next CSR to do the next load sometimes they wont let another transaction at all
