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!

I don't know why nobody is offering "load service"
Send an AU card and Target card to out-of-state friend to do the load...

Re: Queens BLVD and Sunrise Highway Target CSR load Limit
« Reply #6290 on: March 01, 2015, 11:45:35 PM »
Cashiers say they are no longer allowed to load the card. CSR says that the store has put an additional limit of one transaction per customer. Regardless of wether its $200 or $1000 I was only allowed to ring once. I originally thought that it was just a ignorant CSR, however, I was at a diff. queens target today with the same story.
Anyone out of NY getting this "load limit"
wrong thread post here
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Does anyone know whats the best way do deal with the problem that the credit card charge posted but the money was not credited to the red card account. could Target help in any way or the only way would be to dispute the credit card charge?

I was in target in Philadelphia yesterday I went to CS and ask for a red card debit. She made me sign up and she told me I was approved for a 700 dollar credit line. I almost yelled at her because I didn't want the credit card I want to the prepaid debit card. That was pretty bad
