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!

Would you like to reconsider?
No.  :)
I do not accept CC payments so no 1099-k will be issued.

You can buy stuff in the same transaction as loading RC?

I never did that because I'd rather buy stuff at 5% off and pay with my RC, but maybe it's a good idea...
I do both   ;D

Any body having issues paying bills. I have a payee, that ive used in the past, and now its saying something like invalid account number. Was on the phone 1/2 hour...
Anybody have this issue?
I had that with a cc where I entered the account with spaces after every 4 digits. I removed the spaces and I was able to pay.

Ouch I am using my sisters card and my bank account is that going to be a problem
Obviously you should have your sister call in and not do it yourself. Can you add her name to the account? if not have her say she was sending her brother money and didn't realize it was a problem.

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Atlantic seems to have a solid sample size that indicates a, shall we say, not so pleasant experience for the DDF community.

Any other data points from Atlantic? I just got a new CC today and was planning to spend $2000 (or at least $1000) at Atlantic tomorrow. Should I not waste my time and go elsewhere instead?
