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!

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)
I never had a temp card but wiki says explicitly yes. I usually trust the wiki (unless it's talking about Dan's dancing abilities)

Call and tell them you're having trouble registering your RC.  They'll probably eventually figure out what the problem is.  Are there any outstanding checks in the BB account? That's been some people's problem.

It was added by dealfinder, however it was added on March 16, 2015, 11:46:51 AM, before keemster's post. I saw the #MPM and immediately went to the thread to look it up and it was there :)

HAd $.70 left in account - needed to be emptied before it was cancelled. Do I have to cash check now?

I'm actually studying and came across the words M-P method and started laughing. Was referring to the merton perold method

The money has to be gone from your account for the account to close.  When you write a check, it's deducted from your account, but it's not really gone yet.
So if you're writing yourself a check, cash it/ deposit it in order to close the account.  But you can transfer the money to your newly opened RC.  It may transfer instantly. Or pay a bill.


You asked about adding funds to a temp RC.  You can, but any load (except the initial - activating - load ) will count toward the 5K monthly max.  So it may not pay to make a separate trip to Target.

Yup. CT
