Topic Wiki

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!

Lets see how long we can argue back and forth whether it is or it isnt, so that you have to read through another 15 pages.

The important stuff in this thread is in the wiki.

If there is anything burning (like the supposed, alleged, maybe, ulai, tumer, efsher possibility that 1k is hard coded), it will take up a few pages so you wont miss it. Otherwise, because you cant keep up with the posts is not a reason to impose your will or desire on anyone else posting as they please.
When I read the first half of your post I was not going to respond but the second half you have a point and I'll explain really you shouldn't be posting stupid posts to increase your post count if it were spread out all over it would be one story as long as you don't become a troll but please don't troll in one thread that actually had importance before you showed up
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Your right, I'm trying to get my ever important post count up. I could care less about post count.

If it is as you say it is, and someone obviously died and left you in charge of those major decisions, I've been trolling this board since October and got my first RC on November 4. So when exactly was it more important than October? I'm no Johnny come lately here.

This thread is near and dear to me and if you think its trolling and looking for post numbers, thats fine, you're entitled to your opinion, wrong as it may be.

There are occasional important data points, like the supposed hard coding of 1k that seems to have been proven false.

I called twice already, in addition to emailing the flos team, still no luck.
How many days ago did you swipe?
My first swipe worked, my 2nd swipe is not showing but i was charged by CC?
CS said they know of the issue and the funds should show in the next 24-48 hours

No but my bet is it will not work.
It did not work... (But the last time I tried something new in Target was ages ago, so the thrill was still worth it)

Yes I've gotten this many times. Seems to be a glitch because it happens at random. Just do bill pay instead of you can.

Not sure if this was mentioned in the past day or so, but i received an error when trying to load more than $1,000 (not in one transaction). System wouldn't let another load.

Ok so first of all I was able to load $2500 tonight. However when I first tried they couldn't get it to work. system was down and the cashier said it happens some times and that I should call redcard and that I can load with a CC over the phone same thing as said here:
Manger at Spring Valley Target tells me the other day, "You don't have to come down here to load your card, just call the 800# on the back and load over the phone". Um exactly!!!!
lol

I ended up calling RC and they said they are having system issues and to try again in a couple hours. I asked about loading with a CC over the phone out of curiosity and they said no. Then before I left I asked them to try once more and they said someone else had just come and did it and its working again, so I was able to do my loads.

TLDR: Maybe your issue was the system was down temporarily.

Flatbush today:  Manager only. at CS. $1K max. in 1 load. ID has to match Redcard, has to match cc.  No debit card. 
Or does this belong in the RedCard is Dying thread.  It certainly feels that way in Brooklyn.
