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!

odd as in 898 instead of 900 or 1000 as most ppl use to do. It help with fraud alerts
I did $999.99 (x2) and $499.99. The woman at CS knew exactly what to do - told me how she's done it for previous customers and that they didn't get a fraud issue LOL.

Right.  But it's easier to make more transactions then being busy with the fraud alerts on the phone.

just take 2500 and cut it into 3 any way you want under 1k each
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

These loads are so annoying with the constant fraud alerts and the need to make up odd numbers.

Nice! I'll have to try again one day :)
I had an issue back in the beginning, but I haven't had any problems after I removed the card and added it again.

Quick question - what is the legality status on buying a temp card opened up by someone else with false credentials before registering?  Wondering what peoples opinions are as I'm considering buying from the other threads.

You mean he put in random SSN and DOB when buying and activating? That means absolutely nothing.
