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!

Can I pay this off with 4 diff CC's in order to get multiple add ons for spend? :D

Also - not sure if I gave this to my wife that she'd be willing to part ways with it again

+1

2500 worked fine today. All other times they had a 1k max. It is what it is and I wont complain. 2 trips, 3 trips or 5 trips; I am grateful either way.

So which cards are you guys using to get the best value on CC?

Either:
Citi Double Cash 2% CB
Barclays Arrival + 2% travel
Cap 1 Venture 2% Travel/Giftcards

Any other cards that have high value that you're using?

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

SPG (1.25ppd), EDP(1.5ppd), Venture to meet spend

IMHO Cashback cards are a waste on this. Again IMHO MS is designed to build mileage balances not accumulate CB.

For those who don't travel, the citi DC is the way to go for CB.

Since when is the SPG 1.25?

So you guys are transferring out of SPG?

I was looking for the opposite. I have tons of miles and looking for a way to transfer into SPG

Any suggestions?

I don't have any MR points

Have miles, TY and UR points
