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!

Can you load at Flatbush junction with VGC?  Whenever I've gone they asked for all three cards to match but I've never tried with VGC.  Do they allow, since there is no name on it?

common sense would dictate that no , since it doesn't match your id but one never knows with target employees.

she said she has a friend who'll send her one, seems like the target employees are starting to eat from the tree of knowledge [GASP]

Good, maybe they'll begin to understand that we're not committing fraud and will take it easier on us.
