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!

He is prob referring to a check from red card.
No fees. They will open up a case. If it was deposited they will tell you so, and there is nothing to do. If it wasn't deposited allegedly they will give you the money back and cancel the check.

They give you a date by when you will receive the check and its usually there on that day.

Preferred?  Or non? Preferred 1.5 non-preferred 1.2 when you meet monthly transaction requirements. 30/20

CS was very pleasant. She even asked me if she'll see me next month.
