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!

You will need more than one RC. What if RC stops with CC loads in a few months? With the 0% card you have more time.
I have a few (thanks mplace) I dont need it for too long... shouldnt be a problem.

i think the main point was that once you start borrowing off your credit because you need $10,000 then that's when potential interest can start accruing and that's always a bad path to go down

Or, you can attribute it to: (1) a lack of education; (2) inability to properly formulate sentence structure; (3) correctly utilize punctuation; or (4) plain old spelling mistakes. But heck who's paying attention and this belongs in the http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=29462.0 thread.
I dont think its #4, more likely...
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

A few other posting pointers:
1.   This is an open forum, not a text message. Please try to use proper spelling and grammar.

And we will answer you very nicely

K so I bought cards. For first card I cancelled serve account online and it registered no problem.
Second card, had a BB account linked to that SS and link in wiki didnt work to cancel. So I called up and cancelled but when registering RC says I still have BB. (when I login to BB shows as cancelled) What should I do?

Also can I load more $ onto registered temp card? (wiki is mashma yes -just confirming)
