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!

Maybe wait another day or two. Today is the third day in a 3 day weekend. Look at your payment confirmation and see what day it was supposed to post.

Payments aren't usually processed over the weekend and today is a public holiday. Check again later in the week.

I had no problem 2 days ago in Howell loading 2.5k each on 2 RCs, neither of which were in my name, using Amex gcs. Though they did tell me a week ago that the CC name and the RC name need to match, they don't have an issue with GCs

They tell you payment delivery date for each payment. And like everyone said it's a holiday weekend.

Okay. Cashier said CS only - new policy. CS said only two transactions per day. Second cashier had no problem doing my 3rd transaction.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I just received a "card processing error" when trying to load. Cashier even tried multiple registers.

Went to target near brooklyn college had no issues, even let me do my wifes card without her being present. Seems to be you need to find the right cashier.
